Just finished my October Challenge with my final FTV, Offspring (2009).
Holy hell, is this guy a twisted writer. So far, I've seen The Girl Next Door, which was a totally depressing misogynistic tale of a 1950s family with a dark secret, and the guilt of never speaking out about it. I also watched The Woman, which was about another twisted family that keeps a savage girl they find in the woods. In Offspring, there's more savages, but these ones are violent instigators of brutal dismemberments. Seriously, that movie was fucked!
What do you think of Jack Ketchum? I'll be making an effort to see his other works. I want to see Red, but every time I searched for it, I only got streams for that shitty Bruce Willis movie.

Off Season is one of the most brutal books I've ever read. I wish that would have been made into a movie, but aparently somebody else owned the rights and weren't doing anything with it, so they made its sequel Offpring instead. Offspring is still great too, and the movie was decent. I liked the next one, The Woman, better, but I still haven't read that book.
The Girl Next Door put me into a depression for the whole week I was reading it. The movie didn't have quite the same punch, but it was still something I would probably not want to watch again, not because it was bad, it was just too fucked up.
Red is a great book, the movie's pretty good. As a dog lover, I could really identify with the main character and his cause. I felt really bad for him and was behind him the whole way.
The Lost is an awesome book and an awesome movie about a teenage sociopathic killer. Marc Senter's performance in the movie had a real Patrick Bateman vibe.
