Coisa Ruim (Bad Blood)

The Lumberjack from Bad Blood
I love a creepy horror flick and I have a growing appreciation for foreign films, so I ended up buying Bad Blood (Coisa Ruim), a Portuguese horror flick about a haunted house in a remote area inheirited by a city family. The movie has little gore, but relies on the little things I love -- footsteps upstairs when the sole person at home is downstairs, mysterious people appearing in the distance, etc. Things come to a boil when one of the family members is possessed and things start moving around on their own. It's not an exceptional movie, but it's not a bad one either.

I'm trying not to buy DVD's without seeing them first, but this one was on sale. In the first scene, I found out that it was worth the money as the above handsome bear appeared as a lumberjack chopping wood in the first scene and a few smaller appearances. He has no real speaking part and isn't listed in the credits. In the "making of.." extra, the writers state he was a local extra. He is definitely a good choice :)

It is, but before you rent it, you should know that he's only in the movie for two scenes. There is another cute bearded guy in the flick, but not constantly. :)
