I watched one called Kill List. It's pretty bleak.
The Loved Ones is weird and kind of disturbing.
For the truly bizarre, Society.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

The Collector (2009) is a very good slasher. The sequel OTOH suffers from the same problem Aliens did in that it turns from horror into a mostly action movie featuring the antagonist from the first movie (unlike Aliens 2 though it's not a particularly good action movie)."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Originally posted by TeallauraI loved that show. I only watched it the first time because I was waiting for another show (Adderly, if memory serves) but I was quickly hooked. Okay, Ryan was cute, that helped...

Originally posted by Jesse View PostI have not. I just read your link and it doesn't sound familiar. Is it weird in a good way? Or just weird?
For most of the movie you'll probably think it's kind of boring. Then the ending comes around, and you'll wonder just what on earth you just watched. It's weird in a good way in the sense that if you like weird, bizarre stuff you'll like it. If you want to get the most out of it, don't read any spoilers of the end. Just...watch, and prepare yourself for that scene.
Edit: I should say if you like weird, bizarre stuff you'll probably like it. It's totally out there. I can't even think of anything to compare it to.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

So I love anthologies, and I think an anthology that was really well done was After Dark Horrorfest. One of the movies from HorrorFest 2006 that I think is very underrated was The Gravedancers. If anyone else has seen it, tell me what you thought of it."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Quoting on my phone takes more patience than I have at present so I'll just skip it. Going back to Friday the Thirteenth the Series, yeah, I don't recall thinking much of the ending. But I did enjoy most of the series."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Noooooo. We really didn't need that show to turn into Freddy's Nightmares.
