For those hording toilet paper

I have to admit that I love to bargain bin hunt. You never know what might turn up. Sure, mainly the mainstream stuff is in there but $5 dollars for a dvd is well worth it if the movie suits my fancy. Some horror movies have yet to make my dvd library, and it isn't really until I see them in the bargain bin that I realize they're no there. Like Shaun of the Dead. It was funny, I noticed Shaun of the Dead in the bin, and my face lit up as I realized this movie has yet to make my collection. While SotD has an incredible reputation (perhaps why the awesome Hot Fuzz gets the shaft in comparison), I thoroughly enjoyed it but after a movie stays on the horror board taking up page after page, some of its magic starts to wane. I think that is why some great horror movies suffer because the tendency for us (and I am definitely not excluding myself) is to overexpose our heartfelt sentiment towards a film we adore. Someone comes along and says, "Really, this movie is overrated." Or, "Seriously, _________ isn't that good." Daybreakers was a film I also noticed in the bin and was ecstatic to see it there. But this is another film that was receiving positive reviews from the likes of me who had took a chance on it at a theater and were pleasantly surprised. When the movie had some buzz on the horror board, certain horror fans began to chime in with, "Really, this movie isn't all that." I am happy to have gotten it for $5 dollars regardless, and I will sure, at some point, drop a review for Daybreakers on here I hope. Drag Me to Hell was one of those that has a poster on the front of the bin, a well recognized "return to form" for Raimi (I enjoyed it, but this is an Evil Dead guy that felt it was just a nice foray into the horror genre, not the kind of movie that should have confetti fall upon its premier.). Still, its a film with some significance, and I love Alison Lohman, a ridiculously underrated actress who seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. I couldn't pass it up; this will probably get a re-evaluation in the future. I just remember thinking, when seeing the ending, how close it resembles Craven's Deadly Blessing..
