The Knowing

Almost surprised myself by enjoying this one. Always had time for Nick Cage and he carried this one along quite nicely. The one problem is the way the story ends for the kids involved (those who have seen this know what I mean) which I really didnt like. Still, worth a view.


Parasomnia

Since the only review on the box came from HDCs very own stacilayne gave me the impression that this could be an acquired taste. Fortunately I dont think it is.
This is not an out and out horror, but a quite clever and different story about a well intentioned man trying to help a girl suffering from an ailment which means she spends most of her time asleep. Unfortunately she has also caught the eye of a sociopath who is incarcerated in the room next to hers in the towns psych ward. The film looks good, acting is acceptable and is well paced so check it out.


Dead Snow

Horror comedy involving nazi zombies and a log cabin full Norwegian medical students. Not quite as good as I hoped, some of the comedic set pieces seemed a little forced to me but Im sure most people here will not regret investing 90 minutes to see it.
