Inconsistencies based on expectations going into movie based on previous films from the filmmakers and general Internet hype, as I reward pleasant surprises and penalize disappointments.Wyrmwood - old school fun zombie movie from Australia, made by small group over 4 years on weekendsJohn Wick - fun hyper real kinetic shooter. Gun-fu bullet balletForce Majeure - character and relationship story after a traumatic incidentSpring - an unusual love story in Italy with a touch of evolutionary monstersEverly - clever splatterfest starring Selma Hayek almost entirely in one roomTale of the Princess Kaguya - Studio Ghibli Classic. Fairy tale until twist endingThe Guest - great combination between soldier coming home and Universal Soldier kind of movieLet Us Prey - well executed Scottish police station siege movie with flawed characters each with their own story leading them to the same placeBros Before Hos - incredibly fun and unusual raunchy/juvenile romance filmTown that Dreaded Sundown - interesting horror murder mysteryIn Order of Disappearance - entertaining intertwined father’s revenge filmThe Absent One - worthy sequel to Keeper of Lost Causes. Danish detective dramaTokyo Tribe - entertaining rap musical gang war with martial arts, guns, and even a tankElectric Boogaloo - great documentary on Cannon filmsThe Tribe - interesting Ukrainian sign language movie I am Here - Kim Bassinger as middle aged woman desperate for a childThe Stranger - character study gradual reveal vampire movie of sacrificeRedeemer - great fight scenes wrapped in story of redemption and revengeNightcrawler - interesting movie about enterprising freelancer shooting news stories at night It Follows - horror movie around sexWhispers Behind The Wall - another sex/horror movieCub - solid Belgian scouts in the woods serial killer story with a twist fitting its name, characters should probably be more empatheticOpen Windows - high concept movie taking place on computer screenGoodnight Mommy - torture movie with kids and motherCloser to God - what if human cloning plus monsterWaste Land - descent into insanity of a cop who becomes paranoidWastelander Panda - obvious low budget people in panda suits that is actually a pretty charming fableFrom the Dark - run of the mill horrorKung Fu Elliot - documentary of delusional amateur Canadian film maker. Quite sad. The Incident - too slow of a mind numbing buildup before ending that ties things togetherI am Trash - all the horrible Korean sex crimes thrown into one strange familyABCs of Death 2 - not as shocking as the first. Mildly entertaining beginning and end with some weaker stories in betweenTusk - OK horror movie, character studyHardkor Disco - semi pointless revenge movie Man in the Orange Jacket - pointless class revenge movieVHS Viral
