The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

1920 Silent German film about a doctor who uses a somnambulist to commit murder, but all is not what it seems.

The Black Pirate

1926 Silent Swashbuckler film that is actually in color. Douglas Fairbanks plays a young man who seeks revenge against the pirate 'company' responsible for his father's death.

Rewatched it upon discovery of a translated version.

If they were to have some more blood and gore in this it could be remade into a Halloween horror flick. I could see Chumley from Pawn Stars as Dr. Caligari.

Thumbs down on Noah.

Blood Shed.

B horror film about homeless people living in an LA building converted into storage sheds. Little does the mentally troubled lead character realize that when he receives the key to a storage unit used by his late parents, that inside is the terrible truth about his parents. And worse, his parents are still on the property.

Open Grave (2014)
I actually enjoyed this movie, it keeps you guessing (or they try too) and its an unusual theme with an unusual ending..
quite original and well worth watching. On 1-20 with 20 the best, I give this one a 15.

Mr. Bean's Holiday
A funny 2007 British comedy film

Mulberry Street.

Horror film about an outbreak in Manhattan spread by rat bights, which transforms humans into humanoid rat monsters. Actually a lot better than it sounds. Basically, a zombie movie where the zombies are replaced by humanoid rat monsters.

Grizzly

inspired from Jaws, this movie is about a giant grizzly bear that terrorizes a state park.

Youth in Revolt

A 2009 American rom-com. Loosely adapted from C.D. Payne's novel, the film follows (aspie?) Nick Twisp (Michael Cera, later better known in the US and his native Canada as Scott Pilgrim) desperately trying to lose his virginity by impressing Sheeni Saunders, an attractive intelligent quirky girl (Portia Doubleday, who later appears as the titular character in the 2013 remake of Carrie). But life's complications get in the way...

Whilst I can't fault Cera or Doubleday for their acting (unusually, they're very good despite being so young), I only lasted about 45 minutes as I got bored and the film suddenly veers off in strange outlandish directions I didn't much care for. Maybe I'm just not interested in young people trying to do 'it'; I found my attention was drifting during the Inbetweeners also... Oh well.

Flowers in the Attic

I have to admit considering I don't like Lifetime movies and I really try hard to avoid watching the original, it was pretty good as far as a Lifetime television movie remake can go.

Under The Skin

VERY trippy sci-fi indie film starring Scarlett Johanasson as an alien who takes the form of a beautiful woman who later preys on unsuspecting men in Scotland.

Despite little dialogue, an ambiguous ending, and a great performance from Scarlett Johannason, the plot of Under The Skin is no different than that of the movie Species. However, the movie is a cautionary tale as to why men should never pursue a woman based on a woman's looks.

the Dead Zone.
