Take an extreme body horror, mix it with a heavily social theme and you have a Palme d'Or winner :) It would be much better if the director didn't try…

Two brothers return to the cult they fled from years ago to discover that the group’s beliefs may be more sane than they once thought.

Started slow, ended up as one of the best cult movies I‘ve seen. If I was about to pick the single best thing about this movie, it would be how…

Though Kevin has evidenced 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher, there remains one still submerged who is set to materialize and dominate all the others. Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey, Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him — as well as everyone around him — as the walls between his compartments shatter apart.

McAvoy was outstanding in “Filth”, but here, having Shyamalan’s script, he is in a league of the best performances ever. Shyamalan was in a good form too when making this…

After getting in a car accident, a woman is held in a shelter with two men, who claim the outside world is affected by a widespread chemical attack.

Plagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself.

The first movie with Michael Shannon that I saw and think it’s the best performance of his. Also, this is a perfect example on how to make a movie in…

The film follows a petty rock band called the Winners, consisting of vocalist Joey Winner, bassist Jennifer, guitarist Tyler, drummer Sam, and French-Canadian roadie Hugo, along with their sleazy manager Jeff, as they tour across Canada and the USA after Jennifer is turned into a vampire by Queeny. Meanwhile, a vampire hunter who is afraid of the dark named Eddie Van Helsing quickly chases them down.

I was searching for something to watch when I stumbled upon this random movie. A vampire comedy with an old-school rock’n’roll ended up as one of my best obscure picks.…
