Good stuff.
That’s on Netflix I think. Will watch. :)
Just know, it's really heavy on the father-daughter dynamic, my friend.

My computer shut off (and thus, my alarm), so while I was supposed to wake up at 12:45, I didn't wake up until 2:15.

Meaning that instead of watching four movies today, I'll only be able to fit in three. I should be able to make up that movie on Wednesday, though, so I should still hit my 132 movie goal.

Well, I expected subtitles. Just not the length.

In it's defense, I've heard it's one of the best foreign horror movies in the last five years or so.

The Wailing is pretty damn good, but long. Which is something I normally don't complain about, but it felt longer than it should. Only drawback.
