I'll have to check that one out. Anything to reverse the trend.

Watched WOMAN IN BLACK 2 on there yesterday... Its so bad compared to the first. My daughter saw it in the theater and literally said it sucked. That in no way describes how bad the movie is.

The last thing I watched on Netflix was the director's cut of the Act of Killing. A documentary about the mass killings that occurred in Indonesia after the failed coup in 1965. It is surreal. The filmmakers get some of the perpetrators to reenact some of the killings in the styles of different movies: gangster, western, musical. In one scene they walk with one of them through a Chinese shopping district as he's extorting the merchants.

I tapped out all the sword and sandal (classic Hercules) type movies a while back and I wish they would rotate some more in. They have the one with the quasi-beholder MEDUSA AGAINST THE SON OF HERCULES (1963).
As far as documentaries, I just watched CROPSEY (2010) and its sequel KILLER LEGENDS (2014) which were going over the myths associated with the Staten Island child killings of the 80's and then tackle the real origins of the hook-handed killer, poisoning Halloween candy, babysitter killer, and clowns being evil. The last one they could have put more of an effort in research (no mention of origin of harlequin as deriving from "Erl King", etc. or the 1983 movie HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW which featured a prominent evil clown, Obnoxio the Clown "evil host" of CRAZY MAGAZINE (june 1980 issue) or Frenchy the clown from NATIONAL LAMPOON segment "Evil Clown Comics" (june 1988) but instead mentions the 1982 film POLTERGEIST and 1986 novel IT[movie 1990]) but it was all interesting anyway.
