The Shade Shepherd is one of the most unique pictures of the year with a nice visual style, great 80's synth score and solid performances from our leads. If you're looking for something low-key and different then seek it out when it is released.
Keoma is another winner thanks to plenty of stylized action, memorable characters, and a story that works.
Some less demanding or experimental viewers will be elated by this, while others will shrug it off as ultra hip gainsaying within the confines of grief and loss.
The movie gets stranger as it goes along, reminding me a little bit of Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo (1970), which this movie emulates in a number of ways.
A really nifty little genre film with plenty of suspense and action, and it consistently surprised me and kept me on the edge of my seat.
Avengers: Endgame is everything you could ask for delivering unpredictable twists and turns, stunning spectacle and emotional moments.
The movie has a real nasty mean streak (which is a plus), and fans of brutal independent horror films would do well by seeking this out, as it went completely under the radar when it was originally released.
A globe trotting giallo from director Sergio Martino, who was a real pro at these types of films, The Case of the Scorpion's Tail holds water as a thriller and as a horror slasher, with some real doozy kills, particularly the first one and a little later with an eye-gouging scene that had me wincing.
Funny, moving and beautifully shot Penguins is an absolute joy to behold for all the family.
An ambitious little John Carpenter-esque genre film with an extremely limited budget, Black Site is something that might appeal to forgiving viewers who enjoy hard edged action and horror films from the '80s, though they'll have to spend quite a bit of goodwill to it due to its many shortcomings.
