Absentia

2011, Rated R, 1hr 31m

Rated: 5 out of 5 Stars (Highly Recommended)

Netflix Description:

Seven years after her husband, Daniel, went missing, Tricia is about to have him declared dead. But as she copes with her grief and the reappearance of her annoying sister, Tricia begins to suspect a sinister force is behind Daniel's disappearance.

My Review:

WOW! Way better than expected. I'm not exactly sure what it was (the rhythm, the story-line, the NORMAL-sized characters) but this movie really MOVED ME! Literally!! There was one scene (Oh, so RARE - where I actually SCREAMED OUT LOUD and jumped out of my seat)... My hubby came running. "What's wrong?!" Oh, just the BEST little understated Horror Movie I've seen in a while. Then I laughed at the awesomeness of the adrenaline rush. Yup. I just loved it. Very indie AND very GOOD. Highly recommended if you can handle the subtle cerebral pace. I'd been putting this one off... DON'T!

BEST Werewolf Transformation Scene Ever! OMG!!!

English: Werewolf, by Rodrigo Ferrarezi Português: Lobisomem, por Rodrigo Ferrarezi (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Yes, I hate to admit it but Netflix's first series "Hemlock
Grove is effen AWESOME!!!

It has the best werewolf sequence ever in the history of horror... it's in Episode 2 of the first (of hopefully many more seasons) of "Hemlock Grove".

I've always hated werewolf movies because of the ridiculous makeup and outlandish transformations, but this one sent shivers down my spine.Truly spectacular! Great casting. Great acting, writing, et. al.

I've already watched the first three episodes three times! (Just to catch up on the ingenious details).

WOW. You cannot miss this.

I didn't think NF could pull it off, but they DID! And in a very history resounding way. Good job!

Already looking forward to Season 2.

Best Horror Movie B-Films: "Humanoids from the Deep" 1980 Starring Doug McClure

Image via WikipediaI have to tell you that, back in the 80's (OMG! That's more than 30 years ago) I had such a crush on Doug McClure. He had the IT FACTOR - you know? He was in a lot of things back then and, man, did I think he was sexy. I was 20 in 1980, when this film was made, but missed it somehow.

Anyway, this film is a wonderful revisit to The Creature from the Black Lagoon (and, as in any great B-film, if you watch real close you might see a nipple, a nice butt shot, and just the right amount of gore!).

Plus, I've been to every corner of the United States and it's always fun to see a film that so epitomizes a certain area.

And, I should say, a certain time period. Nineteen-eighty was before cell phones, computers, and even chain stores. Ahh, I've a bit of nostalgia for it... until I glance at my laptop. WTF did we do with ourselves before streaming videos and instant answers?!

I love this movie (which I procured off Netflix's Instant Play). It's suspenseful right from the start. And if you're a B-film Afficiando, you'll appreciate it very much. Lots-o-fun to be had by all.

P.S. You gotta love those 80's haircuts... the feathered "Shag", even on the men!

P.P.S.  Raped by seaweed? Hmm. That's a new twist. I'll never swim so close to shore again. LOL.

About the town of Noyo on the northern coast of California (worst seafood experience I ever had). This is a tad more romantic:
