I don't think good turns of phrase pile up just because one hasn't had a chance to use them lately, but this review is full of them. "Plots made of reincarnation and peat," "they drink like the human liver is going out of style," "like a couple of Connemara Van Helsings and is introduced as 'Sean the gardener,'" "less like a traditional interloping possession than a civil war," "that guy who deals with murderous regional metaphors while drunk" -- I'm not a fan of horror, but you really made me want to see this one. I will have to see where it's available.

I have absolutely no idea why Jim refers to Quaaludes as "the aardvark of drugs"

Because they both have double As? That's all I can think of.
