Another rec: Creep. I thought that it was a really well done found footage movie, a genre that has gotten a pretty bad reputation over the years after all of the Blair Witch ripoffs. Still, worth the time even if you can say that you saw it.

If I said the original is always better I didn't mean that I just meant usually or people will always be bias because, of things like nostalgia, Maybe not always but, at least most of the time.
Wow the ratings Creep got on Rotten Tomato. I'm kind of surprised I've never heard of it. Thanks for letting me know about it.

Have you seen Borgman? I've seen it being called a horror movie, although I'd say it's more of a surrealistic, very dark comedy.
Another weird, but good one is Possession (the one from 1981). Unlike Borgman, which is all around very watchable and entertaining, this one is only for people who can stomach some very artsy stuff. I'd say it's worth the effort though.

I have not and I loooovveee me a good dark comedy. Satire is kind of my thing when it comes to comedy. Have you ever watched Tucker and Dale VS Evil? That movie, is straight up hilarious.
Possession *googles* I'm actually kind of shocked I've never watched this I love 70's and 80's horror. It's my favorite time for the genre personally. This movie looks really good I'm going to watch it for sure.
Thanks again for all the material I'm getting so pumped up!
