I did not manage to watch Only Lovers Left Alive last night, but I plan to watch it sometime this weekend.
Shadow of the Vampire- I have seen this film once before. There were some top-notched performances, an excellent premise that was well-executed, and a great pace. Really good film, if you have not seen it and are curious it is streaming on Netflix Instant (U.S.).

I also managed to watch Let's Scare Jessica to Death for the first time, which fits in this sub-genre surprisingly. I really liked it. At times, it felt a little standard, but that changed as the film went on. I was definitely wondering exactly what was going on throughout the film. I figured out certain things, but did not know what they meant. I definitely did not see the ending coming. Another thing was I was able to connect with the characters particularly Jessica. I often wondered if what was happening was real or imagined. They played that angle real well. I definitely agree that the film had a very eerie and creepy feeling. I was definitely on edge at several points. This was enhanced by the simple, piercing score. The film also seemed to posses a somber, depressing feel like as if the situation was hopeless. Overall, an excellent film.
