Here’s one streaming on Prime I watched not long ago: **The Breed**. Wes Craven produced. Has a few people you’ll recognize: Michelle Rodriguez, Oliver Hudson (Kate Hudson’s bro-- been on sitcoms) and Taryn Manning (Pennsatucky from OITNB). Plot synopsis: Pretty classic setup: a group of friends stay at a cabin on a remote island for some R&R. But terror ensues: they start getting attacked by genetically altered, super smart, super vicious dogs. It’s a pretty fun watch. Although the group do some clever, MacGyveresque things in the process of fighting back, they also do a number of STOOOOPID horror-movie cliche mistakes that will have you practically yelling at the TV screen (or actively yelling, depending on your level of alcohol intoxication at the time 😛). You may find yourself ultimately rooting for the dogs. ---

[Beyond the Black Rainbow](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1534085/) is one of my newer favs. Super weird and creepy. ---

**A Christmas Horror Story** Wrong holiday, but a decent horror film. Bill Shatner (outstanding) plays a radio DJ who shares macabre Xmas tales about the strange town of Bailey Downs. IMDb adds: “Meanwhile at the North Pole, Santa is fending off zombie elves.” If you’re a fan, you’ll love it. For rent on Amazon Prime. ---

@Snowboarder_Bo, that movie sounds awesome from the IMDB description, thanks! @burpo_the_wonder_mutt, I do like some Xmas horror. Shatner involvement sounds like it will be delightfully cheesy. BTW, Santa’s Slay is another one I enjoyed very much in the Xmas horror genre. ---
