The Boxtrolls -- 5/10; It didn't grab me the way ParaNorman did.

To me it just seems that a lot of people had high expectations for a movie called Zombeavers.

BIRTH OF THE LIVING DEAD (2013). OK doc on NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD that really won't tell you anything new about Romero and the film-indeed, it spends more time discussing the Vietnam/Civil Rights parallels than on how the film was made. Worth seeing, but it feels like it belongs as a Special Feature. And what is with the teacher showing the film to a bunch of pre-teens as part of class? **1/2

A teacher showing it to pre-teens? That's inappropriate. Public or private school? Hope they got parental permission in triplicate with notary-public.

Making too much out of social parallels to Night of the Living Dead seems very nonacademic to me -- being it's completely subjective. I'd rather see a making of - that could include Romero talking about his "intended parallels".

Banshee Chapter (2013)

Pretty watchable pseudo found footage with heavy Lovecraftian influences. A reporter teams up with a Hunter S Thompson look-a-like to investigate a disappearance involving some MK-Ultra experiments.

Human Toilets 2 -- 3/10; Labeled "horror" on one the stream sites, this little nasty proved the genre has moved beyond torture porn.

Human toilets!? What in the hell kind of movie is that! Sounds really stupid.

Whiplash

10/10

Brilliant, brutal, completely amazing! I'm buying a copy of this one!!

V/H/S Viral

1/10

Horrible in every way, I loved the first two but this one sucked!! I give it a 1 because I was happy when it was over. The short they showed after the credits rolled was even worse

Poltergeist II 10/10

It Follows (2014)


I was very sceptical about this Indie horror but I am happy to be proved wrong. This is a nice pretty unique* teen horror that doesn't cater to the lowest common denominator.

Have you all seen this remake? I enjoyed it. Love a remake that pays tribute to the original, you know? It's only on instant (Netflix and Amazon). Hoping it is available on Blu-ray eventually.
