In trying to solve a series of unsolved murders, Sal Frieland stumbles onto a young woman who appears to have subverted the system and disappeared. She has no identity, no history and no record. Sal realizes it may not be the end of crime but the beginning. Known only as ‘The […]

A reminder that an experienced director could make a solid action movie on a Netflix budget. Stylish futuristic cinematography, well-developed characters and a relevant story.

The story of the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother to convince his billionaire grandfather Jean Paul Getty to pay the ransom.

A tasty underrated piece from Ridley Scott. My experience with his movies is a mixed bag. Some are absolute clichés, and some are quality movies, but never going too far…

Liam wakes from a car crash with no memory of who he is. As he makes his way into town to look for help, he finds only dead bodies, all with strange pale eyes. Liam’s first assessment is that a virus is present in the air, but he soon discovers the horrible truth: anyone who comes within a 50-foot radius of him dies instantly.

A very well-made sci-fi drama keeps the tension until the very end, and then, when the mystery has to be unfolded and many other movies fail, this one delivers an…

When her husband’s sex game goes wrong, Jessie (who is handcuffed to a bed in a remote lake house) faces warped visions, dark secrets and a dire choice.

After the beginning, I was up for an entertaining and tasty horror movie, but ended up with slow-burning psychological thriller. And it was good. It has some cheap scares and…

Dr. Steven Murphy is a renowned cardiovascular surgeon who presides over a spotless household with his wife and two children. Lurking at the margins of his idyllic suburban existence is Martin, a fatherless teen who insinuates himself into the doctor’s life in gradually unsettling ways.

A masterclass on how to mix absurd with horror. It has some bits of weird classical music which fits the movie’s atmosphere exceptionally well (the elevator scene literally gave me…

Paul is a down-on-his-luck screenwriter who picks up a drifter and offers him a place to stay. However, when the deranged stranger takes Paul hostage and forces him to write, their unhinged relationship brings buried secrets to light.

After the first minutes, I didn’t expect to give it a high rating, but here we go. Until the end, this looks like another story where a struggling writer goes…

An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company’s CEO from an idyllic but mysterious “wellness center” at a remote location in the Swiss Alps but soon suspects that the spa’s miraculous treatments are not what they seem.

Better than expected. Cinematography and camera work are amazing, acting is great and the story... While entertaining enough, it could have been more developed.

When Michèle, the CEO of a gaming software company, is attacked in her home by an unknown assailant, she refuses to let it alter her precisely ordered life. She manages crises involving family, all the while becoming engaged in a game of cat and mouse with her stalker.

A great European movie with an incredible Isabelle Huppert. The cinematography, the screenplay, everything is very controlled. It tried to be shocking a little too hard though, could have been…

Porter Wren is a Manhattan tabloid writer with an appetite for scandal. On the beat he sells murder, tragedy, and anything that passes for the truth. At home, he is a dedicated husband and father. But when Caroline, a seductive stranger asks him to dig into the unsolved murder of her filmmaker husband Simon, he is drawn into a very nasty case of sexual obsession and blackmail–one that threatens his job, his marriage, and his […]

I love movies like this. It doesn’t need a big budget, because it’s mysterious, stylish and well-acted. Tasty.

When aspiring model Jesse moves to Los Angeles, her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will take any means necessary to get what she has.

You gonna love it or hate it. I missed a better scenario, but still liked it. It‘s all about the style and the music and uhm.. fetish. Solid acting and…
