If you've seen all the Jasons and the Michaels and the Leatherfaces—all the big, lumbering stabby guys, try In A Violent Nature on Kanopy. It's like those others, but from the killer's POV.

Spokescat Mimi Here:
I like my downtime, and apparently so does the website mylibrary.us because it'll be down from 11 am to 7 PM on Sunday, Oct. 25. As a cat, that seems like a decent nap, if not a little short.
A little bit about Mimi: This is Mimi, age 11. She's a Maine C**n that loves to snuggle while I read, she's very fluffy and warm. Her purrs feel and sound like a diesel rumble when she's happy.

The Return of the Living Dead is on Kanopy, which means you can watch it, which is something you should do! It's one of the finest non-Romero zombie movies! Which sounds like a backhanded compliment, but it's not, it's a regular-handed compliment!
