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::shocked::::confused::? **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. ::sad::

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)
http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2840/1...07d4c41963.jpg
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.

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 ::shocked::::shocked::

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.

The Town that Dreaded Sundown
 
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. http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV..._SX214_AL_.jpg
