yeah i got a definite Dark Tower vibe
only reason i didnt put all zeroes is because Stephen King's Dark Tower series is epic.
but this...is not
ony reason i watched it was because of the name
For thsoe who dont know in Dark Tower's first book The Guslinger the main character (Roland of Gilead) wants to catch a man he's been chasing for years. At the end he talks to him slips into a dream and when he wakes up the man is only a skeleton. In another instance roland fight a demon and keeps the skull of it as a charm. either could be what this author is referencing.
IF you havent already read the Dark Tower series its like a longer more epic Lord Of The Rings.
