Home Movie (2008)
I.M.D.B.
In the remote woods of Upstate New York, David and Clare Poe are attempting to live an idyllic life. However, their twin children's bizarre behavior might just tear the family apart.

Adrian Pasdar carries the movie with his performance. It's difficult to make a 'found footage' performance seem natural and compelling, but I think he pulls it off. Unfortunately it's about the only thing this movie has going. The movie pulls all of its punches, and suffers greatly for it.
5/10



In the Mouth of Madness (1994)
I.M.D.B.
An insurance investigator begins discovering that the impact a horror writer's books have on his fans is more than inspirational.

Remembered it fondly but haven't watched it for 20 years. First time watching it as an adult and I really enjoyed it. It's a clever little movie that's really enjoyable to watch.
9/10


K-Shop (2016)
I.M.D.B.
A kebab shop owner's son, Salah, turns vigilante after his father's death in an effort to clean up the relentless onslaught of boozed up thrill seekers waging war on his doorstep.

Perhaps a touch long, but it was an enjoyable movie. Doesn't quite capture the intensity of such interactions with drunk British 'hooligans', but Ziad Abaza's performance is compelling enough to keep the interest going.
7/10
