MeFi horror club: House of the Devil
House of the Devil is one of those movies that's better not to know anything about the plot beforehand.

At the same time it is just a great horror movie, extremely effective at slowly building suspense to a terrifying climax.

MeFi Horror Club: Triangle
Long one of MeFi's favorite horror movies, Christopher Smith's 2009 film Triangle gets the MeFi Horror Club treatment.

That doesn't tell you much, but if you haven't actually seen it before, you'll have a better time going in as blind as you can. The film stars Melissa George and Liam Hemsworth. And is freaking amazing. [more inside]
