Scarsfield (2015)
# Scarsfield (2015) **By MiRRoRMaN & FoChainz** **Rating: PG-31** — no, this is not a typo.

Until Jon finally realizes the truth: **The horrors didn't stay in Vietnam. They followed him home.** **BE WARNED:** Contains real and simulated gore, dead bodies, drug use, sex, mutilation, rape, suicide, murder, psychedelic imagery, strong language and EVP phenomena. May cause nightmares, loss of bowel control and/or seizures. **Not for the faint of heart.**
