The Guest.
A carpenter-esque thriller that also plays like a modern vampire movie (check out the ending) and nods to slasher pics. I liked this movie. Those here who didn't like you're next may still be baffled by my enjoyment of this picture but I really dug it. Fantastic synth based score as well.
As above, so below.
The goonies done as a found footage 'horror' with few scares. Not great but might be worth looking at when it hits netflix.
The Babadook.
Excellent! a really well crafted, somewhat slow-burning horror that might be about a fairy tail monster terrorizing a single mother and her child, might also just be about a mother who is going nuts and might be looking at murder/suicide as an option. Either way its nail biting stuff and intelligently made as well.
Nightbreed.
Still missing some moments from the Cabal cut, this still is a much better and more faithful adaptation than the studio butchered theatrical cut. Nice to know the cultural vandalism perpetrated by morgans creek as been in some way rectified.
