Red Lights (2012)
Rating: ★★★½
Jul 9, 2012Psychic Debunkers
Strong, well-written film from Buried director Rodrigo Cortes about investigators of psychic frauds encountering a possibly real example. This takes a welcomely sceptical, rationalist perspective, has a great cast and fine build-up but alas falls apart in a lame twist ending

The 2007 Inside in which a pregnant mother is pursued by a woman with a pair of scissors was one of the most brutal and harrowing viewing experiences amid the fad for so-called French Extremism. This is the English-language remake

The Titan (2018)
Rating: ★★
Apr 14, 2018Bio-Engineering Humans to Live on Titan
Conceptually highly ambitious SF film about humans being biologically modified in order to be able to live on Saturn's moon Titan. After a highly promising beginning, the film falls apart in a badly cliched unethical scientist and lab experiment amok ending

Paradise Hills (2019)
Rating: ★★
Dec 1, 2019Future Re-Education Facility
Nacho Vigalondo scripted film that seems like a mix between a girls' boarding school story and an SF film like The Island, all directed with amazingly over-ornamented costuming and design scheme not seen on screen since at least The Cell
