Looks like the city of light just got a little darker. The trailer for Antonio Campos' follow-up to
Afterschool,
Simon Killer, has arrived, and while it literally pulses with energy, it's not the happy kind.

enlightenment" premise and turns it on its head. It then stomps that
head into the pavement."
