Three friends must confront a sinister undertaker called the Tall Man, elude his spherical chrome killing device, and escape a fate worse than death. A strange nightmarish like film with interesting characters. The Tall Man is a great, memorable villain who pops up throughout the film unexpectedly. Mike and Jody are good protagonists. Very creepy visuals that keeps your attention and makes the messy story not as noticable.

Coda 2019
A famous pianist struggling with stage fright late in his career finds inspiration with a free spirited music critic. A subtle little film with Patrick Stewart giving a quiet yet powerful performance. Katie Holmes plays the music critic and does a nice job. I've liked her since Batman Begins and thought it was a shame they didn't bring her back for the sequel. In this film she holds her own with Stewart. Giancarlo Esposito plays his agent and is also quite good. The movie is probably not for everyone but I found it really interesting and the score is spectacular. It was all piano based.

Lord of the Flies 1990
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This remake is not quite as good as the original, but still pretty enjoyable. I think the problem is too many things are changed from the book. The kids are no longer from a boarding school but a military academy instead. There is an injured adult pilot they take care of which lessens the impact of them being alone from adults. On the plus side the cinematography is really beautiful. The kid cast are pretty good and there is some suspense and shocking gore from the death of some of the boys which most movies shy away from.

Silent Night 2012
Decent Christmas horror film. Malcolm McDowell and Jaime King star in this seasonal slasher. It's very gorey, sleazy and somewhat fun. The story is a mess with the ending and reveal of the killer Santa leaving me saying huh. The director really goes overboard with the lens flares so much so that the flashlights look like lightsabers. Despite it's faults I come back to it almost every December.
