31 Days of Horror! Day 1: Scourge

As much as I look forward to this month, somehow it always manages to sneak up on me!  No planning again this year, which means that I am going to go for the Netflix daily special.  What's that, you ask?  It means I may hit some wonderful finds, and some not so wonderful ones...

First up: Scourge.

An ancient pestilence called The Scourge has been set free in a small town after being entombed in a church's masonry for a century and a half. As bodies rapidly pile up, nothing stands between the spawning Scourge and the rest of the town except our young heroes Scott and Jessie who rediscover their love for each other in the process. 

Honestly, while watching this, I could swear it was made in the early '80's and not 2008.  The acting is...well, in typical b-horror movie style.  What gives this movie perks isn't the script, plot, or acting ability.  It's the creature that pretty much steals the show.  If you are fan of all the classic horror films, you'll gt a kick out of this one.  If you require a bit more substance, pick another.
