From Within (2008). This little psychological thriller was actually a nice treat. The story itself was standard fare but well crafted and dark indeed. The acting was solid and worked well to make for some pretty ugly, self-righteous scenes driven by hatred. The camera-work kept things edgy. The scares were enough to keep one on edge, though it is not a flick for the gore hound and the like. The direction was adept as well. While the ending was a little predictable, the fact that it bravely followed through made up for this little shortcoming.
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006). Absolutely genius and hilarious, this is the perfect slasher 101 flick. While that last act was not as enjoyable as the first two, it is out of necessity to the overall theme of the movie and it should in no way detract from the brilliance of this lovely horror flick. Ashe.
