"The Canal" ~ 2014

"The Canal"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  A film archivist sees footage revealing that his happy home was once the scene of a gruesome murder, which casts shadows upon his present life.

This was a fun interesting watch.  I liked the storyline and plenty of twists, down to the last minute.  No real gore or scariness, but still a great movie that is worth the watch.

My score   3.5/5 

"The Babadook" ~ 2014

"The Babadook"  ~  2014


Netflix description  =  Sams frequent tantrums turn sinister when a creepy childrens book mysteriously appears in his room, and he asks his mother, "Do you want to die?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 I was looking forward to this movie via above description.  What I watched was not as menacing.  Its still a fun watch, kinda slow, kinda silly with a few jump scares thrown in.  I would call it family friendly, but still worth the watch.


3/5

"Preservation" ~ 2014

"Preservation"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  Three urbanites venture into the backwoods for a brush with nature that goes horribly  awry when they find themselves being pursued by masked killers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While the storyline was fairly predictable, this was still an exciting watch.  Lots of tension and brutal violence.  Unfortunately when the killers take off their masks I suddenly had so many unanswered questions that I really wish we could have learned the back story and character development.  Overall, good movie and worth the watch.
