Some leftovers I saw over Halloween weekend...

Trollhunter:

I'd been meaning to see this for a while. It's very silly but I really enjoyed how sincerely it is played. It's funny, but not directly played for campy laughs. I liked it a lot.

Dead Snow

This was also pretty great. I liked the Evil Dead homages and some of the hammy cliche moments. Didn't take itself too seriously while still having some brutal kill scenes. Pretty good blueprint for an enjoyable horror film.

The Fog

I had heard a lot about this one and was kind of disappointed. The story is just really weird and told in a strange way. John Carpenter wasn't at his best between Halloween and The Thing...

Submarine

This one is not horror related of course! Director Richard Ayoade has been dubbed "the British Wes Anderson" and it kind of makes sense when you look at the style of this movie. Not super original in a lot of ways. Maybe a cross of Rushmore and The Squid and the Whale, but not quite as good. I still liked it.
