Nicole and I watched Byzantium (2012), which was great. A thrilling, atmospheric, moody, relationship-driven vampire drama. Strong vibes of Let the Right One In (2008), though not quite as good as its brilliant predecessor. Interesting dynamics due to the more limited interpretation of vampire powers, and a cool mythos. Another wonderful film from Neil Jordan, creator of Interview with the Vampire (1994) and The Company of Wolves (1984).
I forgot I'd already seen Ingmar Bergman's The Hour of the Wolf (1968). It's Bergman so it ain't crap, but I don't care for this one. Unrequited love this pathetic doesn't sit well with me. Like his other works, this straddles genres, but I think it is better termed drama than horror

Terra and I watched The Lure (2015) tonight, which was great! Not what I would term horror though -- a musical drama with some horror elements. Beautiful, great soundtrack, and very sad. 😭 Too much stomping on my heart, not enough vicious man-eating! 😝
A Field in England (2014) was great! But in no way would I call this a horror movie. It was an interesting blend of styles, but what I would maybe call a "gritty psychadelic drama." Pretty funny, too! Cool seeing Shearsmith outside of League of Gentlemen!
