"Venom" ~ 2005
Netflix description = Exploring the murky swamps outside New Orleans, a group of young people meet Mr Jangles, a madman possessed by 13 souls killed by a voodoo priestess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I don't know what movie the Netflix person was describing above, but I'm not sure it was the same film I just watched.
That said this was a fun teen scream slasher flick, with a voodoo element. There are some jumps and surprises as well as some good kill scenes. Worth the watch!
My score 3/5

"Don't Blink" ~ 2014
"Don't Blink" ~ 2014
Netflix description = Ten friends are stranded at a secluded -- and deserted -- mountain resort, where they must solve the deadly mystery surrounding the abandoned lodge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have to admit to being a bit on the fence on my opinion of this movie. I enjoyed most of it. The story is creepy and intriguing as it plays on. However, the ending is so incomplete that it made everything that I had just seen into a bigger question. Maybe I missed something... Anyhow for me this film just missed the average mark.
My score 2.5/5

"I, Frankenstein" ~ 2014
"I, Frankenstein" ~ 2014
Netflix description = Adam Frankenstein is still hunted decades after his creation, although now his pursuers are opposing demons seeking the mystery of his longevity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While this was not really a horror movie, it was still a really good movie. There is lots of action and good vs evil. Also a well told backstory and even a little love connection. Something for everyone lol. Overall worth the watch, but not scary.
My score 3/5

"Dark Skies" ~ 2013
"Dark Skies" ~ 2013
Netflix Description = A couple has trouble convincing friends and neighbors that an alien is entering their house each night to terrorize their children.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The above description is quite a bit off in my opinion. For the first half of the movie the parents are trying to figure things out, thus building a well told abduction film. While I am not a fan of most alien movies, this had a good storyline and even a couple surprises. Horror genre? Not really but again a good watch.

"Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" ~ 2014
"Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" ~ 2014
Netflix description = When teenage Jesse investigates strange activity in a neighbors apartment, he encounters an ancient evil that won't rest until its claimed his soul.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While this was quite different that the rest of the franchise, I still found it to be enjoyable. It had a slow start but when it got going it was really good. Most of the movie is the typical hand held shakiness but with good shadowplay and background creepiness. Even a couple good jumps to keep the blood flowing!
