In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Stake Land (2010)
A horror adventure by Jim Mickle.
After a "vampire apocalypse", a vampire hunter takes an orphaned boy as an apprentice. They travel and pick up other people as they search for a place to live that is free of vampires.
As I've said before and will say again, I like elegant vampires in frilly shirts biting sweet young maidens, not coarse, animalistic blood suckers. Despite the poor quality of the vampires, this movie was actually cool. The style and soundtrack really worked together to invoke a post-apocalyptic setting. The characters were well done too. I'm rating this good because I liked watching it and it had some core elements that make up a good film.
