Director: Nick Jongerius


Premise:
A bus on a tour of famous Holland windmills break down in a rural area. They seek shelter in a unmarked windmill that is home to an evil legend.

My Take:
To bad the movie didn't show more of the legend that tell about it because "The Miller" has a rather interesting story. In the end it's nothing more than an average, modern day slasher.

Last Girl Standing (2016)

Starring: Akasha Villalobos, Brian Villalobos, Danielle Evon Ploeger

It's an interesting concept to have a story of "what happens to the final girl after the slaughter". The movie misses the mark and ends up failing into it's own slasher mode.
