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.

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
