Update for Feb 18th

Only a little bit of research this time:

LATE PHASES:


Been awhile since I saw such a good "B-Horror Movie" like this.
It really reminded me of Gingersnaps, another great werewolf B-Movie.

Late Phases is about a blind Vietnam veteran who overhears his neighbor being eaten by a werewolf, the cops write the murder off as a wild animal attack but the Vet decides to take matters in his own hands. Epic montages of gathering silver bullets and making traps ensue.
It also has a great sense of sadness as the man knows he will probably die during the hunt juxtaposed with him settling into the creepy retirement community that he knows he won't be moving out again regardless of the werewolves.

I have been making comic pages with pretty consistently this last month. So I appreciated watching a movie that knew how to use it's visuals to tell the story. There was basically no soundtrack so the audio mixing was telling the story as much as the actors were.

Overall I am still stressed, suffering, drawing and watching too many horror movies.
