The House on Sorority Row, 1983 - ★★½

I found this cult-classic 1980s slasher had been recently added to Amazon's Prime videos. It's one of the few of this horror subgenre that I hadn't seen yet. I'm a bit of a completist, so I streamed it. I wasn't disappointed, although "your mileage may vary."

The Vast of Night, 2019 - ★★★★

The Vast of Night (2019) is a hidden gem of an indie science-fiction film. It is currently streaming on Amazon. Directed by Andrew Patterson, it pays overt homage to the iconic Twilight Zone and Outer Limits television series. Yet it doesn't get hung up in slavish fidelity to their style or substance.
