Honestly I'm just waiting for A Girl Walks Home At Night to hit Netflix.

I'm still gonna watch it.Quoting Spun Lepton (view post)
The Babadook
8/10
It goes off the rails a bit near the end, and sometimes it's a bit heavy-handed, but overall, it's quite good. Creepy and atmospheric as hell. It sticks to its metaphor [] all the way to the end, which makes the closing scenes oddly charming.

All right, well, I guess I really didn't go much into this.
Wolfcop is all about potential. There is a potentially good idea in here, but it's lost on the filmmakers. The humor is clunky and weirdly sitcom-y at times. The hero is a thirteen-year-old's idea of what is cool, a hard-drinking I-don't-give-a-fucker who sucks at his job and who does not suddenly become likeable with the addition of hair and pointy teeth. The filmmakers would like you to believe that a hard drinking werewolf is cool, but it looked like he was having trouble pouring the liquor over his fake teeth. The story is far more complicated than it needs to be, involving eclipses, cults, and shape-shifters, as if the script had initially been three episodes of X-Files mashed together, ugh. The makeup is serviceable at best and embarrassing at worst.

Well that's disappointing. It also reminded me that the werewolf subgenre is really full of misfires. Perhaps it's because a guy turning into a wolf just is not ripe for much of anything. Which also makes me realize that I really undervalue the Disney Beauty and the Beast and that I need to see the 1940s one.

Anyone here seen Late Phases yet?
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
I have not, but I drew Renny Harlin's Devil's Pass in a Netflix roulette, so I'll report back on that soon.
About to watch BioZombie for the first time.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"

Yes. I liked it quite a bit, although it's not terribly ambitious it's a good story. Picture a blind Charles Bronson in a retirement community battling werewolves. Sorta.
Tonally, it reminded me of low key indie (and Canadian?) horrors that don't do much to expand the genre or push any envelopes, but are solid entries nonetheless. Ginger Snaps. Fido. Dead and Breakfast. Like that. Not intense or scary but quirky and oddly satisfying.
Love that movie, so much.
Has one of the best split-screen shots of all time.
Completely agree on the split screen shot. Freaking brilliant and gave me such a laugh.
Wish there was a DVD with decent subs available. Felt like I was constantly deciphering what the intended meaning was.
Anytime someone said they had to go to the bathroom, the sub said "I have to stool"

I love Ginger Snaps. Dead and Breakfast was decent.
Also instead of watching something new I just revisited Manhunter for the first time in a couple of years. That film has glorious style.

Dammit, thats two people now I really trust who hated it. Do I watch this thing or not??
Didn't DD have the most contrarian POV on MC a few years back? I think that says it all.
Wouldn't surprise me after his apes comment.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
It's worth seeing if you're a fan of horrors like Exorcist, Changeling, Sinister, Conjuring, Insidious etc.
I thought bits of it were overplayed, but the family in it is one of the most genuine I've seen in years, in or out of the genre.
Yes, watch it. It's excellent.

Davis is allowed to be wrong, The Babadook is worth checking out.
I will keep it in the queue and return to settle this debate.
Babadook was one of my top movies from last year.
The complexity of the mother/son relationship and the bravery in its coveying the very much frowned upon resentment a parent can have for their child was brilliant.
It's a brutally honest film about parenthood.
