Heathers (1988)
Teenage rebellion as a twisted riot
Cool girls play croquet in plaid skirts. A trenchcoat-wearing J.D. (Christian Slater) makes Winona blush with "Greetings and Salutations". So very. She drinks slushies; they flirt in a convenience store. They embrace murderous lust naked under the stars. Suburban teenagers trying to escape bland normality were blown away (like J.D!).

Elliot Smith: Either/Or
Tinny drums, a fuzzy needle drop, a guitar, and a sarcastic sheen open this musical masterpiece. We're having indie fun until Alameda when Elliott lifts the covers. He shows us the sad beautiful clown hiding behind Beatles- like melodies. His whispering, quivering vocals sound like a long-lost friend. Perfection.

The Attic
There is an old house that sits in the middle of the town of Mare. There are rumors that it is haunted by a witch or whatever in the attic. There has been various families who have tried to live there, but it seems that when it comes to going up the stairs into the attic to find something an eerie feeling comes over a person, but curiosity of the person takes over. The person looks around the dusty place and looks around and everything seems just like it should in an old attic and one thinks if it's cleaned up it would make a good study or something else and then something else happens. The person feels like they are being pulled into a dark corner and the more they try to move away from the force the person feels that they should try harder to make it back to the stairs that led to the attic and this feeling that something wants or needs to do something in this attic subsides till another day when that curiosity returns and back up the stairs to the attic and the person with broom in hand starts to sweep up the dust and cobwebs. That eerie feeling returns, and the person feels like someone, or thing is watching just minding their time till a decision is made. No one has ever completely cleaned that old attic for the fear that seems to take over to escape happens, but it seems there is always someone will return and find out what that eerie feeling is all about.
