Let's journey away from Japan this week and focus on countries that are still making new monster movies. They may not be amazing, but I bet we will be entertained!

[metal_bryan]

If we still have a tie when I check back here tomorrow I'll pick a winner.

[DannyBeane]

Just cast my vote. Apparently I did not help the situation.

[klen7]

Lol...

[metal_bryan]

The winner, after four-way tie, by decision:

TROLLHUNTER

[klen7]

Yayy! I've been ready to rewatch that, and its available on Netflix Instant streaming

[metal_bryan]

Can't wait to rewatch it. Netflix is gonna make it easy.

klen7 want the poll this week?

[klen7]

I can do it!... And I'll do better than my last one with its zero participation... I hope

[klen7]

So the first time i watched this i had seen the international trailer that made it seem like a comedic adventure... and then the US trailer that tried to sell it as straight horror... so i was definitely confused when the movie was none of those things...In fact it played more like an episode of "Dirty Jobs" than a found footage flick... so a second viewing had been overdue



Overall I'd say my enjoyment increased on this second viewing, and I really can't imagine an english version remake working (has that dropped into development hell yet?)
