Oh (Canadian)Netflix. We have been having such a roller coaster few days - I've laughed, I've cried, I've started to drown in nostalgia, and I've been a little baffled.
Mostly that you recommended me Blue Crush because I put a zombie movie on my list. I'm guessing one of the actors was in the zombie movie but maaan. I almost wish there was ( Read more... )

Okay! Disclaimer about me and Canadian film ... I think a lot of it is not for me. I am now realizing that is not true, and just like any country we have good, bad and indifferent (to me) movies.
But as far as horror flicks go there is ...
Fido zombies! Black comedy! Very nice production values (which is not a given with a lot of Canadian film). I ADORE this movie.
Suck was filmed in Toronto, and is about rock n roll vampires. And Alice Cooper is in it. And so is Malcom McDowell with an eye-patch! I ... started but did not finish this movie because I got distracted by something else, and then I had to return it to the library. BUT, the part I watched was funny. Its more black comedy then scary.
Black Christmas (the original) is actually a Canadian horror film, and shot in Toronto. I was shocked when I found this out a couple of years ago.
Martyrs is a French & Canadian co-production. It is ... very disturbing, very graphic and a lot of torture happens. I still can't decide if I liked or hated it.
Treevenge is a short film that can be seen on YouTube. It's also very graphic, and if bad things happening to children or pets upset you, give it a pass. I think it's funny - it's got a very Evil-Dead vibe going on.
I've never seen it ... but there is The Brood. But that is because David Cronenberg gives me nightmares.
Splice is another Canadian-French movie. annndd, it was ... like Martyrs I'm on the fence if I liked it or not. But for different reasons! It's not graphic and torture-riffic like the other one.
Ginger Snaps is an AWESOME (in my opinion) take on the werewolf movie. I haven't seen the sequels.
The original My Bloody Valentine was short in my home province, and funded by a Canadian film company. I THINK that it's set in the US however (I haven't seen it, because I don't think it's all that great ...).
Pontypool - I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I can't be subjective about it. It's kinda a zombie movie - but not really as the director is all 'No, there not zombies!' anyways, it's still awesome. And set in Ontario.
The Changeling (1980's movie, not the movie with Angelina Jolie) is sorta a Canadian film - kinda, maybe. The majority of it was filmed here, and it was financed by Canadian backers. It's set in the US though.
Annnd, there are more. But those were off the top of my head :D

And I looked up that Seance and it has that same goofy blurb in American Netflix too, when you hover over it. :)
