The Prodigy (2006)
Directed by William Kaufman
A professional assassin decides he needs a successor to his deadly business and takes a sadistic new kid under his wing. If the kid refuses, he will be killed. Tough choice, that. Tons of action, guns, explosions, and violence ensue. I know, it doesn't really sound like a horror movie, per se, but we've been told it actually has a very Carpenter-esque feel to it. In fact, it's been called "a crime thriller that plays like a horror movie", hence it's inclusion on this list. Check it out!
When Darkness Falls (2006)
Directed by Andears Nilsson
For some reason, even though it only has one title, this is actually two gay-themed horror stories on one DVD. What a deal, huh? In When Darkness Falls, Kevin invites his new boyfriend up to an isolated cabin for the weekend and said boyfriend goes along despite rumors of an evil cemetery nearby. Then, in Best of Care, Bill’s been taking care of Donny for a long time, longing for a life outside their home. When Bill gets a chance to do something different and perhaps change his lot one night, Donny won’t let it happen.
