I watched this on NE's recommendation and I have to say that I second that rec. This was a brilliantly done, subtle horror film that definitely plays with the audience's expectations (I wasn't sure if it was going to turn out to be a supernatural movie or if it was going to turn out to be just plain urbanoia; the film tread a nice balance between the two genres).

I agree about Oldman; he was brilliant and it was great to see him do something indie.

Good little movie.

Really? I didn't care for it at all. I mean it was well made....Oldman was great as always, but I felt the ending was really poorly handled.

Also, I think I had the wrong idea of what kind of movie it was going to be. I thought around the middle of the movie that it was going to be a werewolf flick (complete with mysterious girl chained up, paranoid locals, and noticing the bright moon)...so imagine my disappointment to find it was nothing of the sort.

Can't say the performances were bad, they weren't...but the story just did nothing for me.

Dance of the Dead



Currently on Fearnet, this is one of Ghosthouse Underground's indie flicks (and the only one that I've seen so far). It's definitely a decent homage to zombie flicks, using high school and prom as fodder for the zombie apocalypse. It drags at times, but overall thoroughly enjoyable. Definitely check it out. Hey - It's free.

Intensity Part 1 & Intensity Part 2.

Two part TV movie adapted from the same Dean Koontz book that High Tension took as its source.

It's very apparently a TV movie, with the same lack of style you find in most, and the same range of TV actors. John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) stars as the killer. The story is told in a straightforward manner, with none of the mind games & tricks that High Tension used, but also not nearly the level of brutality, violence, tension or gore.

As High Tension only adapted the first half of the book, it's interesting to see what else was in the book. Also worth a look if you're a McGinley fan. Other than that, only mildly interesting.

Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In)

It's not free, but it's definitely worth the $4.99.

Well, I've been looking around for 10 minutes now, and I can't find it.

Found it.

Not on Comcast they didn't- just checked- Free Movies> Fearnet.

They did remove Fearnet from Time Warner about a month ago, though.
