In Mexico, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and Venon are drunken in a bar. Suddenly they learn from the television that Detective Mulligan (Stephen Graham) is dead, and Eddie is the prime suspect of the murder. They decide to go to New York City to clear Eddie's name. Meanwhile, the creator of the symbiotes, Knull (Andy Serkis), is imprisoned by the symbiotes since he wants to destroy the universe. He sends powerful Xenophages that he has also created, to look for Venon in the universe since he owns the Cortex key, which is capable to open his prison. On Earth, the military Rex Strickland (Chiwetel Ejiofor), who works at Area 51 that will be decommissioned, has captured symbiotes that arrived on Earth and Dr. Teddy Paine (Juno Temple) and her assistant Sadie (Clark Backo) are studying them. Mulligan is their guinea pig since he was revived by a symbiote. When Eddie and Venon are traveling to New York outside a plane, they are attacked by a Xenophage and they jump into the Nevada desert. Venon explains that he must stay hidden in Eddie's body; otherwise, he will be located by the Xenophage. Soon they are hunted down by Strickland's men and the Xenophage on the ground. But Eddie succeeds in escaping and meets the hippie and alien fan Martin (Rhys Ifans) and his family that offers a ride to Las Vegas to him since they are going to visit Area 51. Meanwhile, Mulligan's symbiote informs Strickland of the danger of Eddie and Venon owning the Cortex that will cease if one of them dies. Hunted down everywhere, what will Eddie and Venom do?

"Venom: The Last Dance" (2024) is another great sequel of Venom, with the mastermind villain Knull using his creatures Xenophages to seek the Cortex key to release him from his imprisonment. There are new enjoyable characters and symbiotes, funny dialogs and scenes and a good conclusion, with Venom and Strickland sacrificing themselves for the good of Earth. It is amazing how thin Juno Temple is, but she is still a beautiful woman. The conclusion may finish the saga of Venom and Eddie Brock. Or not? My vote is seven.

In the rally to the campaign of Kai to Senate, his supporters are challenged by opponents that support Senator Herbert Jackson and there is a fight. Kai believes they are bugged by federal agents. Kai tells his supporters about the slaughter of the pregnant Sharon Tate and her friends. Then he sends Gary and the supporters go to an abortion clinic and Kai and his group stab Gary to death. On the next morning, he accuses the supporter of Senator Herbert Jackson of killing his friend Gary. Ally frames Winter saying that she is the mole, and Kai makes a tragic decision, and the real mole destroys his devices in his car.

"Charles (Manson) in Charge" is the nastiest episode of the "American Horror Story", disrespectful to Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate and other victims of Charles Manson. The writers enjoy shocking the audiences with sex between gays and lesbians, patricide, fraticide and other disgusting scenes. However, showing graphically what Charles Manson' supporters did in 1969 crosses the respect and bad taste lines. My vote is one (awful).

Kai gathers his cult to tell the story of cult-leaders. Then, as a councilman, he proposes that the citizens use his Internet service with the blockage of televisions and other services. Kai joins his followers and proposes they drink a poisoned liquid, but it was only a test of loyalty her has tested his followers. Kai also says that he has donated sperm to the insemination clinic and Oz is his son. Ally and Ivy intend to travel to another place with Oz to flee from Kai and his cult. But when they go to the school, Winter has already taken the boy to Kai's house. When they are back home alone, Ally serves dinner and wine to Ivy, but she does not eat. Then she tells her that she poisoned the food with arsenic to see Ivy die. Ally goes to the clinic, bribes the receptionist to see her file and learns that Kai is not Oz's father. She meets Kai again, planning to kill him later.

"Drink the Kool-Aid" is another silly episode of "American Horror Story". In this absurd show, Kai proposes a private Internet service without CNN and others as if it would be possible to regulate such law and the giants of communication would do anything. At least there is one lesbian less in the show. Fortunately, there are only two more episodes to finish this awful season. Looking forward to seeing that next season be better. My vote is six.
