Heart of America: Home Room (2002)
May 15, 2018School Shooting
One thing you don't associate with Uwe Boll is someone angrily concerned with social issues. Made in the aftermath of Columbine, this is an early Boll film that is a surprisingly solid attempt to address the scourge of US school shootings
Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011)
Oct 15, 2013Animation/Tales of the Green Lantern Corps
Animated film that tells different stories of various members of the Green Lantern Corps (including two stories from Alan Moore). Another of the always worthwhile animated DC adaptations
The One I Love (2014)
Aug 9, 2015Married Couple Encounter Mysterious Doppelgangers
Going by the title you could easily dismiss this as an indie relationship drama (as I initially did) but what we instead get is a fascinatingly cryptic doppelganger film where a couple go on a retreat only to encounter idealised versions of themselves who seem intent on stealing their lives
High-Rise (2015)
Oct 17, 2015Residents of an Apartment Block Revert to Barbarism/J.G. Ballard Adaptation
Ben Wheatley's adaptation of J.G. Ballard's classic novel about the residents of a high-rise apartment block and their descent into barbarism. The film is rich with biting social allegory and is Wheatley's most accomplished to date
Us (2019)
Jun 1, 2019Doppelgangers
Jordan Peele's follow-up to the massive hit of Get Out. This is a doppelganger film where the metaphors that Peele is trying to make are not entirely clear but what you cannot deny is that he demonstrates considerable assurance as a genre director
Light of My Life (2019)
Aug 16, 2019The Aftermath of a Plague That Has Killed All Women
Casey Affleck, best known as an actor, directs, writes and stars in a post-holocaust film. Drawing much influence from The Road, this is a small, intimate tale of survival in a harsh world, Affleck does a surprisingly good job of delivering this with a good deal of understated subtlety
The Invisible Man (2020)
Mar 28, 2020Invisible Stalker
Blumhouse deliver an invisible man, although one that has nothing to do with H.G. Wells or the previous invisible man films. Indeed, this feels like an invisible man film that doesn't even want to be about an invisible man at all.
Shirley (2020)
Jun 12, 2020Horror Author Biopic
A biopic based on the life of horror and mystery writer Shirley Jackson, best known as the author of the novel that became The Haunting/The Haunting of Hill House. Elisabeth Moss goes mad with entertaining regard
