I did it. I got two people to watch Head Count. Complete victory. Now if I can get someone to watch ALL OF THESE AWESOME SHUDDER MOVIES, I'm in business.

DAY 16.1: Spiral
On Shudder

Guys. I cannot stress to you how much Shudder is worth it, even for one month, to watch some of these awesome horror movies. I haven't had one miss, and I think this is the best Shudder original I've watched because holy shit, THIS MOVIE IS GOOD.

Spiral is about a gay couple that moves into a neighborhood with their daughter. One of the men has a past with homophobia and being targeted, and when he sees their neighbors acting strangely, he begins to think there's something sinister going on.

Holy fucking shit, what a movie. I was absolutely blown away by this film. Let me start by saying this is overall a really refreshing story because it deals with gay issues in an outstanding way. It's a horror story integrated perfectly into a crisp narrative where it doesn't feel at all like it's an out of place thing added in. But it's also not the driving narrative here. It's about a couple who each have issues and are trying to deal with it as they raise their daughter.

The acting is AMAZING in this movie. Blew me the fuck away. This had a bunch of nobodies in it, but they were all just so damn good.

And the directly is completely superb. I would not have believed this director is on his, I think, second real movie. This is his second movie and he's somehow got more talent than all of these people making horror movies in Hollywood right now. This fucking guy, Kurtis Davis Harder, is 26 years old but a master. So many scenes were just put together perfectly. So many memorable shots here.

As the movie was going on, I was like "Alright, I'll probably give this a 7." But then I was like "Okay, 7.5." Then I said "8." And then by the time it was over I said "9, solid 9." I know I just gave Alien a 9, and I'm just here like "Yeah, I'm giving Spiral a 9 too."

This plot is superb. Like, you think you're getting a generic "couple moves in and whoops weird neighbors I wonder what will happen." You aren't. Not even close. This last act is fucking incredible. It's just so good. So much horror, so much tension. So damn good, and the movie built up to this so well.

Get Shudder. Watch Spiral. This is bound to be better than the shitty Saw reboot that's coming out with the same name.

Rating: 9/10
