But no matter which sandbox they play in, you know a Maury/Bustillo joint when you see it. Their latest is “The Soul Eater,” a procedural that ventures into some of their darkest territory yet.

For the record, I’m an absolute sucker for horror documentaries. There’s no reality in which I wasn’t going to love “Generation Terror,” the latest from Phillip Escott and Sarah Appleton “The Found Footage Phenomenon”), exploring the state of horror at the turn of the millennium.
