28) Masters of Horror-two more. Fair-Haired Child started well, but sort of petered out at the end. Sick Girl...eh. Bug story, with the strangest acting style of any protag I've seen outside of a parody movie. It was okay.

Well, that's a poser. On one hand, it was interesting. And the dying baby situation is rough (although you don't actually see anything violent towards a baby, it's just the knowing that is tough.) Telling the dying baby part is a little bit of a spoiler, but I really felt that this needed to be upfront as it is disturbing. It's a very small spoiler though, as you figure out early that something has happened.Dana Jean , would you recommend The Farm House? I like Steven Weber, dying babies... no. But if the story is good, it can be worth it (Like The Orphanage. I cried a lot, but the story was so good that I'd watch it again)
29) Horror Hotel: Autumn Gust was right--this is a nifty little chiller. I'm very curious about the genesis of this film and Psycho, because there were scenes that were definitely reminiscent of that film. Thanks for the rec!
I'll ask my son and get back to you in a while-- he and I are doing the marathon together and he's picking the movies we see. A lot of the old movies he watches are so old they are in the public domain; anyone can stream them for free. Other ones he buys from Amazon. I'll let you know!Where did you two see this? I looked on netflix and the dvd is not available and it wasn't available for streaming on netflix either.
I found it on YouTube I've watched a few of the older ones on Dailymotion, too.Where did you two see this? I looked on netflix and the dvd is not available and it wasn't available for streaming on netflix either.
The Others is one of my favorite creepy scary movies. I've not heard of Dark Water before, but now I'm going to look it up--thanks for the rec!12. The Others (2001)
11. Dark Water (2005)
- These were interesting to see back to back, which was entirely by chance. Dark Water is a movie about a newly separated mom and her 6 year old daughter who move into a shady apartment building. Mom catches the eye of a child ghost who wants her for her own. In the Others, Nicole Kidman is a young mother whose husband died in the war and is trying to protect her children from “The Intruders”. If you haven’t seen The Others, I won’t spoil the twist, but this is a well done movie. Since I saw them in order, I couldn’t help but make comparisons to the situations and resolutions. Interesting, happy coincidence!
