Fun Danish sci-fi/horror w/ more than a touch of comedy. 6th grade students discover their substitute teacher is an alien. Premise may sound a bit like Rodriguez's "The Faculty" - but themes and tone set it apart. Great fun. Note: Best to watch in the original Danish and avoid the English dub. (DVD auto-starts in dub mode, btw).

Disturbing and effective tale of madness and gender politics from Lucky McKee and Jack Ketchum. Sean Bridgers does a great job as the creepy and seriously disturbed head of a not-so-normal family. Be aware that it does use violence and gore to explore its themes, so it is not for all tastes. Some have called the film misogynistic, though others have argued effectively that the film is a "feminist parable". I side w/ the later opinion. Also of note, this is a sequel to "The Offspring". Having not seen that film, I can say this film can be watched and enjoyed without having seen its predecessor.
