Always a powerhouse performance from Denzil. Despite the material, the messege about health care in America hits home.

Good film from Hormoine Korine, beautiful women, an excellent music score and plenty of debauchery.

It isn't vintage Romero, but just juxtapose the subject matter with Covid 19: the only thing the government hasn't or didn't do was bring the military in and gun people down when we (the British people) weren't going to get locked in our homes. That was the rhetoric from the political institution miles, and miles away.

Standard slasher that is elevated by Clark's directing and the nice twist at the end. No explanation of who the killer is. The opening sequence inspired John Carpenter for Halloween.

Early Wes Craven effort, with primitive being vs. Suburban family and the resources to cater for that in the middle of nowhere. Wes Craven's direction throughout in creating the tension and then the carnage is confident. Also the photography in bringing the primitive rocks and surrounds to life. Wes Craven would later become one of the world's most respected horror directors with A Nightmare On Elm Street.

Takachi Miike milestone in Asian horror and psychological manipulation. Two work colleagues set up a fake audition, and one of the men wants to settle down after the tragic death of his wife. Takachi's direction is excellent, music, when you first see the young lady who he picks, she is pretty, shy, innocent, but you look beyond that, and all he'll breaks loose. I would also recommend "Ichi The Killer".

Stanley Kubrick's best film to date, not too far behind The Shining.

Raw and relentless from director Larry Clarke (Kids), he understands this material. And what is more brutal, Bully is based on real events.

Sexy Beast rises above your average British gangster genre, due to its performances - particularly a thunderous role by Ben Kingsley, spraying out saliva-drenched variations of the F-word, like anti-aircraft gun fodder. Sexy Beast is enjoyable, but uneven.

Kinetically directed by Danny Boyle, good photography and creative production design make this post-apocalyptic political and humanist drama very interesting. The only problem with 28 Days Later is when the group get to the Army Barracks led by Christopher Eccleston, the quality and substance declines with idiotic soldiers acting like their in the Gestapo.
