Deadwax

Deadwax is not a masterpiece of the genre but, it sure was fun. I saw someone who didn't care much for it compare it to the old "masters of horror episode cigarette burns" (loved that one btw!) Not a bad way to look at the theme, it is in a nutshell just another story about someone paid to go find something that should not be found. However I (and my wife who also really enjoyed it) thought it was more like a twisted version of "High Fidelity" you got your whole obsessive nerd used record thing going on meets "The Ring" with its "you watch it you die" theme. Only here you listen... you die.

If youre maybe a bit older (40+ or a fan of music on vinyl) it's got the whole nostalgia for music that came on big vinyl discs going for it. And two if like me you're like me and more of a fan of the storytelling before the gore (don't worry there's more than a few splashes of blood and body parts across your tv screen) Add a bit if sci-fi with some far out, though based in real science theories, worked into the story, you might like this.

Better yet since the episodes are only like 18-20 mins long watch the first one. Due to its short time Deadwax pretty much hits the ground running, if you're not hooked in the first 10 minutes it's probably not your thing.
