Caveat
2020

-Great example of minimalistic and quiet nightmarish storytelling
-Bonus-it's Irish!
-More emotionally uncomfortable than plot-driven
-Low budget film but excels at a claustrophobic ambience. Atmosphere first.

Monkey Man
2024
Mythic undertones inspired Hanuman
Gritty neon soaked film w/ heavy percussive soundtrack
Enhances the practical-feeling action and brutality.
Some uneven pacing
Once it does gets moving it's an engaging thrill ride.

The Relative Worlds
2019
Strong visuals laden with thin characters. Not sure what mechanic actually governs the relationships between the two realities. good action sequences save it from being a 6.

Memories
1996
A sci-fi trilogy:

Magnetic Rose is exactly within my wheelhouse. Engineers find an abandoned space station. A sci-fi ghost story. Surreal, atmospheric, and psychologically heavy.

Highly Recommended

Rurouni Kenshin

Excellent fight choreography for this adaptation of the manga. Satoh anchors the film with a strong lead performance and the film has atmospheric well-built visuals.

Cryptozoo
2021
Adult animated fantasy/Features mixed media collage animation w/stiff marionette like characters and creatures. Emotionally distant/Uneven pacing/Vibrant colors/Fest aspect is that it features some obscure creatures of myth.

The Innocents
2022
Slow-burn horror with psychically powered children. One issue was the length. At times the quiet tension is too quiet. Still, I enjoyed this portrayal of moral corrosion and abuse.

Blame!
2017

#Cyberpunk #scifi with a grim atmosphere and oppressive and alienating world building. Thin characters but I think the coldness is intentional. The film is more about a feeling and existential dread than plot.

Asura embeds the viewer in an urban hellscape in a visually intense story. Loved the portrayal of moral decay & societal collapse w/ gritty and oppressive imagery.

The House

Solid stop motion animated film. Each segment is bizarre and often grotesque. Very surreal and full of dark humor. Right up my alley! A very consistent anthology, which is certainly rare.

Crimes of the Future
2022

Mortenson's performance is restrained/Seydoux adds emotional depth but the snail's pace of this film was excruciating. I was too detached from the narrative.

Sisu
2023

Presented in a high-contrast gritty style, Sisu is an exceptional portrayal of gore and violence. It's mythic, not to be taken as a realistic occurrence, but one of legend. Tommila gives a stoic performance

Superior to the original/Loved the ways they expanded upon the lore/Full of nightmare-logic and an atmosphere as cold and bleak as the wintery setting in which much of the story takes place.

The Astronaut
2025

an atmosphere of dread rather than alien action/mostly takes place in a confined setting/effect of isolation and personal horror. Sadly, the build up is better than the resolution.

Enjoyable but not memorable.

Hidden gem! A #swashbuckling cape and sword revenge tale full of the tropes fans of the genre enjoy. I felt immersed in the period setting with the costumes, locations, and performances.

Highly recommended

I loved the fragmented plotting, atmospherically dreamlike. A washed out green palette enhances the strange visuals provided by outstanding (especially for the budget) practical effects.

A half season crammed into two hours. Strong production values and enjoyable battle scenes. I don't think anyone that hasn't watched the series would enjoy it. I did but not as much as I'd hoped.

Full of spectacle and fun! CGI effects aren't always convincing but still visually entertaining. If you're in the mood for a sci-fi fantasy with wuxia swordplay, here it is!

Although never stated when the film is set, the story occurs within a Puritan like culture ruled by an overbearing pastor. Women are second class citizens.
