Really enjoyed this film and I know its a horror movie but boy is it bleak.

Glad you liked it. I watched it with a family member. It kept our interest, and some conversation during the film, which I enjoyed. And found myself identifying the classic camera shots and what they're supposed to convey, which didn't seem to annoy my viewing buddy, but I wouldn't say I enjoyed the film.

7/10

In 1922, a farming husband and father of a teen son is tempted to end his wife.

It's technically solid, with textbook camera shots, fine acting, and plenty of gloomy cinematography. It's all just so, so, so familiar. It's your classic Edgar Allen Poe tale, à la The Tell-Tale Heart... without the poetry; told in rather melancholy Steven King narration style. There's no surprises for the second-time-around horror fan.

I also saw that one on Netflix after reading the novella in "Full Dark, No Stars" by Stephen King, and it actually portrays the novella excellently. It may not be big budget, but not only does the story take place in rural America back in 1922, where and when times were a lot more primitive than they are now, no need for any big budget to make that time and setting look real and authentic, plus horror films don't need to be big budget in order to be good. It's more of a matter on knowing what you're doing and how to do it right with what you got then how big of a budget you have. They did overall well with what they have and really brought the story to life in an impressive way, especially the Sweetheart Bandits scenes, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to seeing "In The Tall Grass" and "Gerald's Game" on Netflix before too long. ::devil::

Halloween(2018)
 
I finally got to see this one, and it was about time. I actually found this one overall scary and amazing, and definitely much better than the remakes. It was definitely interesting to not only see Laurie Strode(Jamie Lee Curtis) as an older lady now, the little girl from Halloween IV and V now a grown woman who is married with a teenage daughter of her own, but most interesting to see Michael Myers with a bald head and gray beard now. This sequel actually shows a lot of good reference and tribute to the original movie before taking off into the brand new story, which is very interesting, intense, and scary. I am looking forward to seeing the sequel that follows it. ::danger::

The director of 1922 surely knew what they were doing. It's textbook. Gerald's Game was pretty entertaining. There's a subplot involving a tall man that's a real headscratcher.

THE BREAK UP (2006). Story about a Young couple who splinter under the weight of small annoyances building up to intolerable. Can they resolve these issues? This wasn't bad overall, but the bickering wears thin and I found most of the humor came from their unusual relatives and friends. **1/2

HOUSE OF THADDEUS 2013

A young couple buy a house with a questionable past. It was interesting. Bit of a Rosemary's Baby vibe to it. I didnt mind it.
