Halloween Month Movie A Night

Funny Games
I'd heard about this one and never saw it so finally queued it up. Two psychotic men take a family hostage in their vacation cabin. This one I'm still thinking about... it really is disturbing. The all encompassing dread and doom are done masterfully here by director Michael Haneke. It's a movie that isn't for the faint of heart. I'm not into torture porn at all. Hated Hostel and movies of its ilk. But this was genius.
Rent or buy on Amazon Prime here.

Lights Out
From Rotten Tomatoes (where it has 77% on the Tomatometer, 67% audience score): When a bloodthirsty supernatural being that lurks in the shadows preys upon a family, a young woman must fight to protect herself, save her little half-brother, and uncover a mystery about her family's shadowy past. A simple and spare, but quite effective little film. James Wan (director of The Conjuring) produced this one. I see in looking that a sequel has been greenlit. Movie's out on DVD on Oct 25.

No movie tonight. You'll see why (If you're on my friends list) when I post my next "Stuff..." entry. *sigh*
