Sounds racist. Cannibals can be romantics too. :P

it all comes down to execution. feels more like a thriller to me. but one person's thriller is another's horror. so again, up to you. :P

And thriller isn't really a genre because anything that's made to cause any kind of excitement counts as a thriller. Everything from Raiders of the Lost Ark to James Bond to Seven have been called thrillers. That tag doesn't mean much to me anymore.

Some quality gore and kills in this but also loads of awful acting and a dumbass plot. Very late 80's-ish

Went with Ghost Town. I stopped at the movie theater and got a large popcorn, left the theater and got me a fountain Coke at Chevron, headed home, waited until midnight, pushed play and fell asleep 20 minutes in.

The working life...

It's just not possible for me to be up that late anymore on purpose. Even 10:05 sounds like a stretch

Amityville Moon was surprisingly not complete trash. It had a decent script, and the actors were trying even though many were amateurs. The budget is obviously low, but the material helped. I give it a C-
