Creepy cult not really creepy
Sure enough, these secluded cults with weird rituals provide some creepiness and anxiety, but I felt that Cage seemed disjointed from it all (running around in a suite for some reason), and the cult almost leaned toward being goofy rather truly scary.Hippopotamus

A fair puzzler missing class
Nothing wrong with these low budget movies in a single location, where you'll grow eager to find out how it all came to be. The story is also reasonably well thought out and offers some layers near the end. But I found both the actors and direction missing intensity and depth.Matriarch
After an overdose, a woman retreats to her mother and hometown. But there are strange things going on, and noone seems to have aged.

Nice small-town cosmic horror
A nicely done movie with some cosmic horror and mystery, a lovely 'something is off' vibe, good 'rural town' atmosphere and a lead actress who manages to gain sympathy despite playing quite a nasty person. A nice treat indeed.In the Earth
Two scientists go deep into the woods to find a lost colleague, where they face mystical natural phenomena

Could have used some more focus and excitement
I like it when things get sciency, and it goes well with natural presentation and some slow burning. But in this case, it can be a little too dull, and the story lacked a focus. It felt like it invented itself as it went on.Killers of the Flower Moon
A tribe of Indians, wealthy because of the oil on their land, is overcome by of a plague of murders

Oscar material and it knows it
A slew of triple A actors are seemingly competing for who has the most acting prowess, almost up to the point of overacting. The story is one of those 'little known story that needs to be told' affairs. Undoubtedly a good movie - but there is something very self conscious and Oscar hungry about it.Movies found: 1030 | max movies per page: 5 | Showing: 46 - 50
