The quality between this and Shocker, and being so close together, really shows how far Wes could swing in quality when he gave a rat's ass lol.

like a more horror-y 8mm in tone?

If you liked Longlegs than I suggest you watch The Blackcoat's Daughter. Same director and way better

Takes place in the 70s and 90s, but filmed in modernity for the most part. It's quite good. I preferred Late Night with the Devil a little better in terms of enjoyability.

Ebay seems to think 27.98 for the bluray is a "great price". B-|

I'm exaggerating, but just a little. If it didn't have a female lead then you would probably think much worse of the film. :P

I gave Killing of a Stupid Deer a 0.5/5.

It's less boring than Skinamarink but it's one of those movies where the plot itself and twists just annoy you for two hours. It's at the bottom of the never-watch-that-shit-again pile.

Skinamarink is on my list of "movies that I'll likely never see," because every time I even read about that movie, I start feeling drowsy. I don't think I'll ever work up the tolerance to actually give that movie a try. :P
