Blood
Something different and decidedly adult.

Lunch, anyone?

Gazette staff
“He vomits seemingly gallons of blood while biting and clawing at the flesh of one of the residents.”
Houdini
Abraca-dry-ba.
Documentary
Rod Lott
Originally aired on PBS’ long-running “American Experience” series, the hour-long “Houdini” documentary is a crash course on escape artist Harry Houdini, arguably pop culture’s “greatest showman.”
Death and Cremation
Either beats taxes.
Thriller
Rod Lott
Two outcasts are better than one in Death and Cremation, a better-than-average indie thriller, thanks mainly to mood. Even the smallest of budgets can afford that, yet few think to invest in it.

Back from Hell
'Hell' is hell.
Horror
Rod Lott
This being the Halloween season, odds are many a found-footage film will be watched over the next several weeks. How to choose between so many? Allow me to help ever so slightly: Steer clear of Back from Hell.
Freaky Friday
It’s the end of the Zoo Amp as we know it, and Oklahoma City’s own The Flaming Lips will send it out in style. And blood.

The Frozen
Watch this winter thriller from the comfort of a toasty couch.
Thriller
Rod Lott
Not to be confused with Adam Green's Frozen, snowbound terrors and all, Andrew Hyatt's The Frozen follows couple Mike (Seth David Mitchell) and Emma (Brit Morgan, True Blood’s werewolf Debbie Pelt) into the woods for a winter camping trip.
The Thompsons
More ‘True Blood,’ less ‘Twilight,’ thankfully.
Horror
Rod Lott
One need not have seen 2006’s The Hamiltons before seeing its new sequel, The Thompsons. Heck, one need not even have heard of it, as I suspect many haven't.
