How'd you find that "Summer of '84" one?

Also watched, "The Witch" (2015). I thought it was excellent. A friend had recommended it. He said he liked it a lot but that it was slow. I think any faster and it wouldn't have had the same appeal. Reminded me of something Dante Tomaselli might have done if he had ever had a budget and a really good crew.

I'm glad you enjoyed "Host"! You're exactly right, it was predictable, but, fun. I've re-watched it a couple times.

I also like "The Witch". Although, I didn't like the ending. I would have done it differently.

I liked the ending of The Witch, but I might have been more inclined to have the young girl enter the old witches house first, no dialogue, just the old witch stripping her of her clothes/old life and then being led outside to a fire where others were arriving from the woods and then take flight.

Witch was slow -- poster child for the 'slow burn'. I agree, if it was faster it wouldn't make the same impact, as Alien and Rosemary's Baby.

If there's one thing I learned never to do with Horror films it's pay attention to critics...lol.

I think that was the 90's based one...I only saw the trailers, it actually looked alright.
Some kind of fuck up leads to an accidental death or some such, and it's kind of about the friend group turning on each other etc

Yea, I vaguely remember it’s about a boy and his friend with serial killer potential.
