What have you got against horror? An Italian horror film is on my top ten list: Dario Argento's Suspiria.
Also, why are you bothering with Blockbuster Movies (some kind of rental scheme, I take it). That is so twentieth century. Most movies worth watching are out of copyright, by any reasonable definition. So why not simply get your movies using BitTorrent, which gives you access to more foreign movies than Blockbuster ever will?

El habitante incierto must be pretty obscure; I've never heard of it, and the only version of it I found on the Internet doesn't have English subtitles. But it has been released as a DVD in the US.

Uh! How did your fellow viewers look when they left the cinema? *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
A Dutch film I saw recently is Paul Verhoeven's De vierde Man. It's ceepy but not in a dark way, the predecessor of Basic Instinct.
BTW, I have ordered El habitante incierto. A bomb, H bomb, Minuteman / The names get more attractive / The decisions are made by NATO / The press call it British opinion -- The Three Johns
I guess I like my horror and violence to be highly aestheticized, like in Argento or The Shining. If it's done in a realistic way, I generally find it too disturbing to be fun.
Speaking of documentary-style horror, have you seen Cannibal Holocaust? I'd say that pushes the genre as far as it has ever gone. Definitely not recommended to Ronald Rutherford. Unlike And Soon the Darkness, this movie has a political message (but it contains one scene that I knew about that I skipped over).
And from Germany, we have Der Todesking and Schramm. Again, not recommended to Ronald. A bomb, H bomb, Minuteman / The names get more attractive / The decisions are made by NATO / The press call it British opinion -- The Three Johns
The way the "scheme" works is that they send me a DVD in the mail and I can either return by mail or take it to a local Blockbuster store and exchange one in store. Without going too much into my personal life: she gets to pick "blockbuster" or recent releases, while I get to choose more variety and not mainstream releases.
So for now it is working out pretty well. Rutherfordian ------------------------------ RDRutherford
I knew from marketing they had to somehow tie in their store locations to the online. Once that is done then they could kill Netflix. But Blockbuster has been bleeding red ink for a while.
Wednesday night when I went to exchange my DVD again to get 2009 (Korean Sci-Fi) there must have been a 100 disks to be sent back from the store. Rutherfordian ------------------------------ RDRutherford
