Definitely got a couple steals there.
That list reminded me I've never seen that version of The Shining that I can remember
I prefer Rebecca de Mornay as Wendy.

The De Mornay version is closer to the book, the cliche strong-woman type that King thinks was groundbreaking but was basically every other female lead type since forever. I used to think hers was better because it was less grating, but as I've gotten older, I think Shelly's is more tragic, and a broken/fragile type we rarely see that was still a final girl, thus more interesting.

Rebecca de Mornay is probably my favorite female actor of all time. So I am simply biased and you shouldn't take my Wendy opinion too seriously. :P

Reason #57 to not by prebuilt pc's. You could put a drive in, but it's more of a pain since it's a prebuilt.
True, but disc-less is the way shit is going anyhow. Guaranteed all the next gen video game consoles won't have em etc.
Just say the word, El El Sucio, ohhhh!

Yeah. Identity was a solid flick. Should be seen. Pretty underrated. Not my favorite Rebecca. But a good movie nonetheless.

To be fair to V/H/S/2 two of the three segments so far have been enjoyable
