It was great until it started breaking it's own rules in the second/third acts.

Explain.

1. The Dirties - Movie about a fictional school shooting. Two friends get bullied and plan to shoot up a school. One friend thinks it's just joke talk while the other is taking it seriously.

2. What We Do in the Shadows - A parody on vampires.

3. Fury - Not an unknown movie but one that I feel didn't get a lot of credit. Personally thought it was a phenomenal film.

4. The Babadook - Also not as unknown and this one did get a lot of credit but just putting here in case anyone hasn't seen it.

5. It Follows - See description for Babadook. Thought it was the best Horror film I watched in a loooooong time.

I liked Dirties. Never bothered with what we do in the shadows, but it's new enough that I don't have to worry about it just yet. Fury I loved. Best war movie since Saving Private Ryan in my opinion, that ending. Babadook was, without a doubt, the most refreshing breath of life into a dying Horror genre that I've seen in several years, and I'm an avid horror fanatic. It Follows I didn't like nearly as much. It was great until it started breaking it's own rules in the second/third acts. I would highly recommend Babadook and Fury to anyone who hasn't seen either of them. You won't be disappointed.

Didn't realize either were based on books

From what I can tell so far, Into the Wild (the book) is more interesting than Into the Wild (the movie). But the opposite is true of Wild.

I meant I was reading the book Wild is based on, not Into the Wild. But Into the Wild is also based on true story, for which a book was written, which I have also read.

In case you're unaware, both movies are based on true stories and books.

I read a lot about the guy after I first watched the movie. Didn't realize there was a book

I am actually reading the book the movie was based on.

I've heard that about The Babadook. Some love it, some think it's overrated.

I might actually watch it tonight. We'll see.

I've seen Wild. It was good but not better than Into the Wild. Fury was good, too. I like Brad Pitt

Almost started Babadook the other day. I'll watch it now . Haven't plenty of movies to check out now......and plenty of people to neg if they suck

I want it on record that Babadook isn't everyone's cup of tea. The rest are pretty fantastic though.
