 "Intruders" - Excellent home invasion thriller with a fantastic performance by Beth Riesgraf. Not for everybody, but if you like the H.I. subgenre...

Pontypool last night.  It was interesting.

I had to edit this.  I didn't see a movie called portfolio, promise.

Fright Night (2011)

Honestly, it was alot better than I expected.  They cut to the chase pretty quickly in regards to the "is Jerry a vampire?" Thing.  Nobody was a stupid horror movie character, and even the mom got to do something Cool.  Plus the vampires didn't suck, and were sufficiently menacing.  Not enough of that these days.

Not amazing, but fine.  I'd watch it again if it was on cable.  Tennant was definitely the best part.

Good to know.  I've intentionally avoided it because I enjoyed the first one in so many ways, and haven't donated enough expectational balance to allow a clean-slate viewing.  "They cut to the chase pretty quickly" is your remark that I value because this can often be a dragging-out time-wasting factor in re-do films as if we need suspense and character building that couldn't be accomplished thru deft writing and direction in later scenes.  Thanks.

I was glad that they didn't waste time with that either.  I think they figured a large portion of the audience would already know what was up.

Memph, CRAB MONSTERS is one of the most unique 'monster devours humans' after-effects I've ever seen - the absorption of the devoured's personality, voice and memories, and then the ability to project that onto the surviving humans to entice them to their doom, too.  Most interesting.  And the constant, ongoing destruction of the island introduces a claustrophoic element to the survivors that they can't just sit around with Gilligan, Ginger and Mary Ann...

NOT OF THIS EARTH with hulking Paul Birch is another film I'd never paid attention to until the remasters were offered up in 2010.  We had to get the Traci Lord version for completeness sake, but it's a pathetic washed-out attempt to substitute breasts for the far more impressive actors-as-characters in the original. 

And THE UNINVITED is simply too much of a favorite to even dissect.  I wonder what its big-screen experience would be like?

It's funny because just going by the title, ATTACK sounds like the average B-movie sci-fi film; however it really isnt. The idea that the crabs gain your mind after devouring your head and becoming this heat ray using gestalt group is pretty weird all around, not to mention ghoulish. NOT OF THIS EARTH is a classic take on an old theme: vampires, but from another world. Great film and often overlooked by fans of '50's sci-fi films.

THE UNINVITED is probably the best take on ghosts and hauntings until THE HAUNTING in the 1960's..
