AGAINST THE NIGHT (2017) - This was a GRAVE ENCOUNTERS-style found footage film, except instead of being in a haunted asylum or a hospital, this time our fearless filmmakers are trespassing in an abandoned prison complex.  After the usual bit of horseplay and spying on the girls, suddenly things turn serious when people start disappearing.  Is it vengeful ghosts?  Psychotic homeless people?  A serial killer?  Or something worse?  I'll admit, this one was pretty well done and the end contained a twist I absolutely did not see coming!  4/5 if you like found footage, maybe 3/5 if you don't.  Lester, I'd like your thoughts on this one.

ALMA & THE WOLF (2025): A deputy sheriff investigates a wolf attack after his high school crush, Alma, claims her dog was killed by the beast; things get strange quick. Often confusing and tonally uneven but still interesting, largely thanks to Ethan Embry giving it his all as a middle aged former pitcher living his life vicariously through his baseball prodigy son; the effects (including wolf costume) can be cheesy, and be advised that the rug-pulling twist ending turned off a lot of viewers (I was fine with it, though it could have been foreshadowed better). 3/5.

I think I have actually seen that one - I remember a bizarre Japanese zombie toilet film called ZOMBIE A$$ or something like that.
