Time to play catch up:

Boo was a nice little ghost flick with a spectacular ending.

Bumperkleef (aka Tailgate) is a solidly done Dutch thriller.

A somewhat unsympathetic family is on its way to the father's parents. On the way over, they manage to piss off a killer that sort of reminded me of Javier Bardem's character in No Country For Old Men. In the opening scene, we see what he is capable of, thus making it a bit disappointing that the film only had one kill.

However, there are good things about it as well. The confrontations are tension filled, built up by a good score. And near the end, it has a nice twist, reminiscent of Phone Booth and the only moment we see Kiefer Sutherland in it too. The actual end is a tad underwhelming, ending a minute too early, keeping us from seeing something that would have been predictable, yet add to the story and tension.
