I watched The Midnight Meat Train on Netflix a few days ago. I wasn't expecting great things from trying to turn such a short story into a full-length movie. I wasn't disappointed - somehow they managed to explain less than in the book. Also there were some points where it was trying too hard to be "cinematic."

Today I watched It Follows. Not something I ordinarily would have watched, but I've heard nothing but good things about it, so I figured I should while it's on Netflix. I was indifferent about it. I was pleased that there wasn't quite as much sex as I was expecting, but it still didn't do much for me. Maybe I'm just too used to more "hardcore" horror.

Night of the Living Dead is on my Netflix DVD list - it'll probably be a little while until it gets to me. I haven't seen it yet.

I just watched Train to Busan. I was actually kind of bored until the last half hour or so. I prefer things that make you think more than this does. This was mostly just running and fighting zombies, and deciding whether or not to help people.

I just watched Saw for the first time. I found that much more to my liking. I quite enjoyed trying to figure things out. I liked that there was more than one thing to figure out, too, so I still had stuff to think about even though I knew exactly who was doing it and why from the moment we first met them.
