Some great stuff you have awaiting you there... which Cat and the Canary? (they're all good though in my opinion). DDUFE is the definite stand-out from the above... I think you'll really like it.

Arguably there are some annoying brat(s) in What the Peeper Saw and Father's Day though.

With Sci-Fi September, Horror October and then Noir November I've pretty much forced a 'Decemberdike' on myself for this year now in terms of watching any new purchases.

It's the Bob Hope version of Cat and the Canary.

I'm looking forward to each and everyone of them.

Ha,ha! Good!
This might sound daft but i'm pleased there are themed months until next year. It's easier to choose things to watch.

I'm one of those who doesn't actually find Samuel (the boy) to be annoying or, in any way to be a 'spoilt brat', just someone who is desperate for attention and struggling with never having a birthday, a father, and the feeling he has to protect his mother because he has already lost one parent.

His behaviour is certainly unconventional, and his mother definitely struggles, but their circumstances make it perfectly understandable.

For what it's worth i really liked The Babadook and you should definitely give it a spin.
The kid is annoying but like Nos no.1 said it's understandable due to the circumstances, the premise and execution of the rest of the film more than make up for it.

Not the best one, but still a worthy watch. Hopefully you'll enjoy them all!

You'd think so - I'm basically randomly selecting titles at the moment for Sci-Fi September. I'll probably be doing the same for both Horror October and Noir November too... although there are a few key titles for all three themed months that I hope to check out.
