Yeah, come the end of the day I'm trying to find a decent horror movie, with absolutely no luck whatsoever. Netflix, for all it's offerings, is more about quantity than quality.
The Devil - M. Night Shyamalan, the "twists" have become predictable and boring, The Invitation, The Long Grass, The Ritual, 1BR, ... there were more, too many, more, at best - average - at worst - well, still average. Horror - I would think - with the number of contestants in the genre - should offer some intelligent diversions upon the theme, but none whatsoever.
None of these deserve watching - or, really even mention - but I watched 'em so you don't have to. Meh.

Loved this. Smart, Grotesque, Brilliant. I don't precisely know how it ended up in the "Horror" Category, it's not, but it deals with visually/intellectually/ dense themes along the ideas of Memory, Age, Time. Typical Kaufman, and I can't pretend to understand even a fraction of it, but it will reward further viewings. Currently on Netflix.

About an out of control 9 year child, "Benni". An excellent movie, but it struck a little close to home. I'll give it 5 stars, but qualify it with I didn't enjoy it a single bit.

Netflix, free with the property and I'm going to be making the best of it. Hungarian film, atmospheric, curious characters, very worthwhile. 4 Stars.

Alfred Hitchcock. Whom I'd had some prejudices (ill founded, it seems) against.
Meh the flaws - they're a matter of convention and taste. What impressed me was how the ending swerved - and outright ran over my expectations. "He wouldn't dare!". Yeah, he just did. So, worthwhile, and dated in the best of all possible ways.
