Ok, so I need to talk about Scare Me from @joshruben. Yes, yes, fun story, great acting, and the delivery of one specific line was genuinely terrifying, BUT! That's not what I want to talk about.
I want to talk about the GENIUS level of directing happening in it.

Ok, so if you don't know the plot, some folks are in a small cabin during a power outage. Bored, they tell each other scary stories. 90% of the movie takes place in one room. You are watching two people talking to each other in one small room. This should be boring.
It is frankly amazing how Scare Me remains visually interesting *the entire time*. You are never bored. You don't even realize that they're in the same room the whole time.
The characters move naturally from the couch to the chair to the floor, like people would as they're hanging out. But of course what's actually happening is the director giving you new things to look at.
It's so skilled you don't even realize it's happening until the end of the movie when you suddenly see a different room. Anyway, if you're at all interested in how that kind of thing is done, you have to watch it. Incredibly elegant.
