FlixChatter Spotlight: The Red Riding Trilogy

I came across this when I overheard hubby playing the trailer on Apple site. I don't like scary movies, I'm not talking about horror which I detest, but even some intense mystery stuff would haunt me for days.

Recently acquiring a Blu Ray/Netflix player (for cheap), I’ve spent many a night since checking out Netflix’s Watch Instantly library.
