Horror & Shrill: Netflix

Image
Welcome to my new section, Horror & Shrill where I recommend a horror film for weekend viewing from one of the streaming services available (Netflix, Shudder, Hulu and Amazon).  Kristy Directed by Oliver Blackburn, Kristy tells the story of Justine (Haley Bennett) a college student, who decides to stay on campus during the Thanksgiving holiday, but instead of enjoying a peaceful week she finds herself fighting for her life against a group of killers.  I know this has been out on Netflix for quite some time, but it's still worth a mention since its one of the quality horror flicks that Netflix has streaming. Honestly, I didn't expect much from this film other than the tired old troupes our genre is used to having. Thankfully I was presently surprised how clever and engaging it was throughout. The acting is solid and the tension and revenge aspect are steady in the film.  What are you watching this weekend? Let me know  @horrorevilqueen
