I’ve always rooted for Jay Baruchel. The other day, re-watching Are You Afraid of the Dark (TV), I actually recognized him as a kid in the episode “Dead Man’s Float” from 1995 because I am a cinema freak of nature. He’s been steadily working that long. Sixty-four acting credits, including one of his latest efforts, Random Acts of Violence (2019), where Jay also served as director, co-writer and producer. This is his second directed feature, the first being Goon: Last of the Enforcers (2017), which I have not yet seen, but I remember liking the original. Horror doesn’t run much through his filmography save for the kid’s show and Just Buried (2007) so I was excited to see what he could do at the helm of the genre in a good ol’ piece of canucksploitation. One last Baruchel plug, I think everyone should see Man Seeking Woman (TV).
