Rated 4.0/5 Stars my rating click to rate 1 2 3 4 5 3.6 \| 47 rating	Sauna Antti-Jussi Annila 2007 \| Drama, Feature, Horror Some spoilers I think the key to understanding this movie is the line (roughly) 'The monks found it when they got here'. Also important: the villagers practiced no religion and the 'God can not bear to look' line. I think the sauna predates Christianity, maybe even humanity. Think The Stone Tape. What they found wasn't redemption or damnation...maybe something worse. I thought it moved at a good pace; there was always something happening. Good movie.	9/22/2008
Rated 4.0/5 Stars my rating click to rate 1 2 3 4 5 4.4 \| 65 rating	The Chaser Hong-jin Na 2008 \| Action, Asian, Drama, Feature, Horror, Mystery, Thriller Bleak, darkly humorous, Korean thriller. Plays like a comedy of errors from hell.	9/22/2008
Rated 4.0/5 Stars my rating click to rate 1 2 3 4 5 3.5 \| 49 rating	Alien Raiders Ben Rock 2008 \| Action, Feature, Guest in Attendance, Sci Fi Of the four creature features (I don't think there are any others) showing at FF, this is perhaps the strongest. The other two (Feast 2, The Substitute and Jack Brooks Monster Slayer) were good but they were horror comedies. Alien Raiders is played straight and comes on stronger because of that. The large grocery store where it takes place is nicely claustrophobic. The monsters were good looking. Definitely worth catching.	9/22/2008
