In the UK, three years before Captain Kirk boldly went where no man had gone before, a shabby-looking, blue police telephone box materialized out of thin air and into the hearts and minds of a new generation of viewers.

Yep, there’s spoilers. It’s pretty clear that the creators of The Leftovers are bent on tearing apart families, ruining lives, and generally just freaking people out. With that being said, I wasn’t completely surprised when this recent episode offered absolutely no explanation for the disappearances, no clues as to what the hell is happening, no…
The most important question you will ask yourself is, “How come I didn’t know about this movie?” Director and writer Jeong-woo Park has still left me in shock after his film, Yeon-ga-si, or for us English speakers, Deranged.
