And I can’t believe I forgot “28 Days Later”! Sharpen up, Mattison.

Another non-horror director who did a solid horror film is Rob Reiner with “Misery”. Whether you want to call that horror or not is debatable, but it was certainly outside of his usual comfort zone.

I suppose films like “Inside” just don’t appeal to me. I can’t really handle them. Certainly a well made flick, though.

The Trailer for “Don’t be afraid” looks pretty great and I had a lot of fun re-watching the original (in segments) on youtube. Looking forward to that one as well.

“The Descent 2” is going to be on Instant soon. We shall see, but I have a feeling it will just be a passable, if not somewhat shallow, rehashing of the original. Part of the thrill of that film was the build-up. There’s simply nothing to build up to in the sequel.

I have a lot of hope for “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark”, which Guillermo Del Toro produced. What are the chances “The Descent Part 2” is any good?
