The Stranger
Cert 18, Koch Media 2015. Produced by Eli Roth, directed by Guillermo Amoedo. Horror, quite strange reading the blurb. The theme playing during the DVD menu is good. Ok so this fella named Martin has come to a small town looking for Ana. He finds that she had passed on. Whilst sitting on a bench he is attacked by some thugs. A young man named Peter helps him out. Ana suffered from a disease that makes her addicted to human blood. Perhaps a cannibal or vampire.

Une Heure De Tranquillite aka Do Not Disturb
cert 15. StudioCanal 2014 5055201832481. Subtitled. French film, comedy about a Jazz music fan named Michel. He finds a rare record and hopes to have some time alone to listen to it. But friends, family and neighbours all want some of his time. I recommend Spanish film I'm So Excited and another French film Taxi, American indie The Visitor, Two Days In New York and TV series The Returned, Brit flick with David Tennant What We Did On Our Holiday. Set in Paris. Recent events meaning France will get lots of mention. Great cast of actors.
Maggie
A horror starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin. A father is in turmoil as his daughter had been bitten by a zombie and is infected. She will change and Wade wants to spend as much time with her as he can. You might like The Walking Dead, The Stranger, The New Daughter, Z Nation, Extinction, World War Z. Cert 15, 5053083037697 Universal Pictures 2014. It is more a drama. Slow moving. Something different for Arnie to be involved in. Normalises the horror genre. See how the people deal with living in a post apocalyptic world. The change from human to monster. How the infection is just like any other disease eg ebola, cancer etc. The music may be worth downloading.
