A pleasant fix of gloomy weirdness
I wonder if it's just because of the black and white that it reminded me of Eraserhead? Or was it also the sweaty claustrophobic cinematography, the insanity and otherworldlyness of it all? Who knows. It's a cult niche thing, but a worthy one for sure.King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
One man can claim the magic sword and challenge the evil king

Watch out for splinters
At times a majestic and grandiose movie that definitely has it's moments, but also has some distracting dissonants like the weird fast paced conversations and inconsistent character of Arthur himself. Sometimes he was sincere, sometimes a goofball. It failed to latch on, already I am forgetting it.Hunter Killer
American submarine is sent to rescue the Russian president... without starting a world war

Decent macho stuff
It tries a little too hard to be macho and has everyone talking in super tough guy one liners... all at the expense of realism and true tension. But what's left is still an entertaining, action-packed submarine movie for us to jerk off to the glorious American military.Into the Heart of the Sea
The 'true' story of Moby Dick, of whale hunters becoming hunted by a whale

Well made but not engaging enough
It has a nice look and feel to it, and it was clearly made with much love and dedication. But these grumpy and dirty men harpooning whales were hardly sympathetic, so their misfortune was hardly engaging. The thick arty layers of unnatural colors take away a sense or realism too.Brain Dead / Dead Alive
An exotic rat bite turn the dead into zombies. An dorky man and his girlfriend fight them with all their might.

A classic, but has lost some impact over the years
It reached new levels of splatter-gore when it came out, and it still is quite a bloodbath today. The humorous tone helps to make the somewhat campy effects acceptable, but prevents it from becoming really scary or gross.Malignant
After the brutal death of her husband, a woman starts to experience equally brutal murders in other people's homes

Uninspired horror saved by a pretty cool twist
For the first half I was just sad, fearing that James Wan has nothing more to offer than formulaic cliches and boring movie characters. And while this IS a big problem of this movie, I have to say the reveal/plot twist was great, put things on it's head and managed to redeem some of the movie.What We Do in the Shadows
Mockumentary about group of vampires trying to get by in daily life

Funny and unique
A sassy movie with a nice sense of humor a great atmosphere. Could have used some killer jokes though.Red Turtle, The
Adult animation about a man stranded on an island, and his attempts to escape appearantly being blocked by a large turtle.

Beautiful and intriguing animation
Drawn in a beautiful minimalist but expressive style, tastefully flavored with some supernatural elements and manages to make you curious even if nothing is being said. That's quite something, even if the open ended nature felt a little easy to me.Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities
A bunch of horror stories

Fun, not terrifying, dark tales for adults
While some of these stories can get quite gruesome - there's a lot of full frontal decaying corpses - the overall atmosphere is more akin towards mystery and dark fairy tales for adults, in terms of style and music. Two I found rather weak, but rest of them quite enjoyable.Gun Woman
A crippled man turns a meth woman into an assassin to avenge his past. Now - where to hide to gun?
Wittenberg

A bizarre and painfull plan. But will it work?
A rather sad movie with a lot of blood, suffering and necrophilia that provides an uncomfortable watch. The gun woman, however, does manage to drag you into the story, and make you anxious to see whether it all works out as planned.Movies found: 1048 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 501 - 510
