I'm a sucker for horror films...This one is called "As Above, So Below"

1. huh, interesting. it looks a lot like "The Descent" but with more of a supernatural element

And of course as a "found footage" film.

2. I'm a horror film nut

but I prefer the atmospheric kind and not the overt bloodletting and slasher films like the Saw franchise or Hostel. This looks like it might be pretty good. With its claustrophobic feeling of people trapped in underground tunnels, it reminds me of a really good Australian low-budget horror film from 2011, The Tunnel. I look forward to seeing it. Thanks.

3. I'll have to check out "Tunnel", looks interesting

I also prefer a good SCARY film as opposed to just gore....Some of the early Friday the 13ths are ok, but after part 3 forget it....The first "Descent" is a great one, but they had to make a sequel (a straight to DVD sequel) which was silly...

Some recent films that were actually rather good were "Sinister", "Mama"

5. I recently saw Absentia on the Sundance channel

It's a real low budget indie but I thought it was quite a good little horror film. The same director, Mike Flanagan has recently made another horror film I have yet to see, Oculus.

6. I had heard of "Oculus", but didn't hear of "Absentia"

Both look good...

When i log on to my Netlfix account, i will scan for all types of horror films to put in the que....I go thru phases: sometimes i try to find the 1980's horror films (i'd like to see "Hell Night" again with Linda Blair but they don't have that one currently on disc), sometimes i go for the Italian horror films ie; Lucio Fulci, Umberto Bava (sp?), Hammer Films (anything Peter Cushing and/or Chrisopher Lee), and even sometimes the real old stuff ie; Karloff and Lugosi....

7. "Absentia" was rather good. An above-average horror film for sure.

But probably the best contemporary psychological horror I've seen - low-budget or otherwise - is one called "Head Trauma," done by the same writer-director responsible for "The Last Broadcast" (found-footage horror flick that predates "Blair Witch" by about a year).

"After a 20 year absence, drifter, George Walker, returns home to settle his grandmother's estate. As if awakening from a long dream, he finds his childhood home condemned and littered with the remnants of squatters. In the midst of trying to save his past, George falls and strikes his head, triggering an onslaught of vivid nightmares and waking visions."

8. I haven't seen that one

but it looks like it's right up my alley. The trailer looks great and I'll try to find it. One of my fav low budget horror movies in recent years (made in 2003) is the kind of off beat film Dead End. I found it kind of troubling and disturbing, even though there was virtually no gore.
