All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Hold the Dark (2018)

Starring: Jeffrey Wright, Riley Keough, Alexander Skarsgard, James Badge Dale, Julian Black Antelope, Macon Blair
Director: Jeremy Saulnier

Premise:
A woman calls in a wolf expert to track down the wolf suspected of taking her son before her husband returns from the war. What the hunter finds is a violence and a mystery stranger than he could have ever imagined.

My Take:
The movie wont be for everyone. It's a slow paced movie full of despair. There's not a lot of explanation behind the actions of the parents. The scenery of the Alaskan Wilderness acts like a character itself.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Netflix Instant
