Rob London

A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he’s an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, ’70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, ’90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they’re good, and maybe even more when they’re bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed “Canuxploitation.”

An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

One of the strangest murders of the last decade is getting a closer look in a new true-crime documentary series on Hulu. This week, Swipe Right on the Devil takes a look at the confluence of dating apps, black magic, and cold-blooded murder. It premieres exclusively on Hulu on October 22, but Collider is proud to exclusively present a sneak peek of the series, featuring actual police interview footage of one of the suspects.

Sydney Loofe was a hardware store employee in Nebraska who’d struggled with her mental health. That, unfortunately, made her easy prey for Bailey Boswell, a troubled woman who Loofe matched with on Tinder. Boswell was in a relationship with Aubrey Trail, a convicted felon with dark fantasies. Loofe agreed to go on a first date with Boswell on November 15, 2017. She was never seen alive again. The documentary goes into every facet of the crime, from the suspects and their motivation to the bizarre trial that followed their arrest. It also speaks to several other women who Boswell and Trail attempted to manipulate into fulfilling their horrific whims.

In our exclusive sneak peek, the police interview two other women in Boswell and Trail’s orbit and reveal that Trail was forming what he called a coven; he said he already had twelve women under his thumb and was looking for a thirteenth to complete the coven, which he claimed would give them all mystical powers. To fully join, however, one of the women was told that she would need to kill someone and take their soul. It shows the level of manipulation and control that Trail had over his subjects, and the lengths that he believed he could make them go to. But how did this seemingly unremarkable ex-con style himself as a warlock? You’ll have to tune in to Swipe Right on the Devil when it premieres on Hulu tomorrow.

Four franchises, four completely different ways of getting underneath your skin. This is the one built out of your particular fear, why it works so well on you, and what it would leave behind.

Your nightmare does not wait outside the door. It waits for you to close your eyes, which you are going to have to do eventually, because nobody has ever won that particular argument.

Your nightmare is not really the doll. It is the face of the person you tell, and the way they decide, very kindly, that you have imagined all of it.

Your nightmare has your number, knows your name, and has almost certainly been inside your house before. The worst part is that you already know them.

Your nightmare is not really about you. It is about the people asleep down the hall, and the feeling that whatever is here is not interested in leaving.

Swipe Right on the Devil was directed by Brian Biegel; he previously helmed The Counterfeiter, a documentary about master forger Greg Marino and the sports memorabilia counterfeiting ring he ran. It is a production of Imagine Entertainment and is executive produced by Biegel, Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Sara Bernstein, Christopher St. John, Justin Wilkes, Pete Kasko, and Craig D’Entrone.

Swipe Right on the Devil premieres on October 22 exclusively on Hulu. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
