Wrong Turn (2003). Pretty good overall backwoods horror flick. i only saw the R version so i may need to track down an UR disc. There were some pretty graphic scenes, a couple of which stand out nicely. Acting was decent enough, with visual pulchritude making up for any deficiencies. Some of the cinematography really helped to keep up the dread hopelessness in this decent enough little horror flick.
Spoorloos (1988). Absolutely wonderful. While not as outright scary as i thought it might be, this flick's power lies in the prosaic calculation of evil. A slow burner for sure, the intensity of the protagonist and the mundane deliberations and epiphanies of the antagonist make for a nice prelude of what is to come. The acting is superb, the direction flawless, then ending: perfect. The ostensible symbolism turns out to be apropos as well.
Don't forget that today and tomorrow are the Dias de los Muertos and ya'll should probably say a little hello to you ancestors...
