Frights

Let the Right One In
New Swedish vampire film.


Shiver
Like The Mist but more about scary creatures than group dynamics.


Twilight
Based on the best selling young adult novel, a young vampire falls in love with a mortal.


The Haunting in Connecticut
A based on a true storyish film about a family that moves into a haunted house.


It may be too early to tell, but as we head into the winter movie season, it looks as if we are leaving the torture dramas behind. It could be Haloween's influence, but two of these films don't come out for another month. New horror films are centering around the paranormal and supernatural. Are we returning to fairy tale fears because our lives have finally gotten real enough? Does watching someone loose a foot in Saw XXII hit too close to home?
