Psychopaths and vampires are at the center of two new films kick off the October film season. Todd Phillips's sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, has quickly polarized audiences, and a new Max original promises to bring Stephen King's 1975 novel, Salem's Lot, to life. In this edition of On Film, host Charles Horak welcomes El Paso Filmmaker and frequent contributor Carlos de La Torre to discuss these new offerings and the difficulty of finding movies worth your while.
