okay, i get netflix on two devices with the potential for two others and my roomate recently downloaded hulu. What are some good monstrous movies you've seen, the personal rating system only goes so far, some of my favorites.
Tv Series
Apparations, a wonderfully spooky exorcist series out of the uk, sadly i've only found one season but watched it in a night.
Most of the national geographic prehistoric series, their graphics, stories and how they put it all together with current science is delightful to watch for my palenotoligist potential child.
Fear itself, another series a little more psychological thrill than tales from the darkside.
Movies
Nuns with big guns...the monstrous part is the behavior that triggers the nuns to get mean and another example of how corrupt the roman catholic church can be.
Tokyo gore police, i've liked a lot of asian cinema and this is a gory collaboration of all it's aspects that make it a delightful break from american non spoof horror.
Satans little helper, a nice statement about where ultra violent video games can lead a kid and one hell of a charismatic serial killer with an awesome mask.
Exorcism, the possesion of Gail Bowers, it inspired the "i want to be exorcised" thread.
Labrynth and Repo the genetic opera, awesome on digital surround sound with wonderful stories!
The Hellraiser's and Prophecy's, classics for those who enjoy heaven/hell movies
House of Voices, a classically spooky ghost story
any others i should watch?

Well If you haven't seen Queen Of The Damned then that one should definitely be watched at some point.
It's not super scary or violent, but It is amazingly filmed, has an awesome soundtrack and is well cast with a good storyline :-)
It's one of my favorite films of all time.

The Queen of the Damned is actually not that great, it lacks that certain something, and if you ever read any Anne Rice book from the Vampire Chronicles, you will see why i state this. It would be awesome if Anne agreed to do the scenario as she did for Interview with the vampire. This way its empty, characters are flat and only thing that works in the movie is the music and sexy body of the Queen ( and she wasn't such a great choice for the role if you ask me, not really talented as an actress, but i guess they couldn't get a better one when Cruise didn't accept the role of Lestat).
