Is this DVD dubbed into English, or just subtitled?

[thajaxman]

@DudeAxe It's also dubbed, I just prefer the subtitles.

the film is based on the story "the voice in the night" by w.h.hodgson, (1870-1918) who is credited in the film's end credits. this puts a new angle on the "no originality" segment, i think.

[thajaxman]

@spiderlime Interesting, I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info.

[thajaxman]

One long take where I eat about 3-4 mushrooms spawned what you see here.
