Expands on the equally genius Resolution to craft an immersive experience that challengers our relationships to fictional worlds. And taken by itself it still has plenty to say about family and real-world assimilating after traumatic upbringings which feels painfully real, whilst being plenty scary in that ethereal way. 2. Annihilation One of the best body horror and sci-fi films I've seen in a while. Natalie Portman and the rest of the cast do incredible work here, and like The Endless, it manages to be scary in extremely weird ways and I always love that. 3. Deadpool 2 The whole X-Force sequence is the hardest I've laughed at a movie probably since Shaun of the Dead. Everything about it is pure genius. I'm really thankful they expanded the plot a lot more this time around, and didn't just take place on a bridge for what felt like 75% of the movie. Cable and Domino are so much fun, and I'm not really that big a fan of Cable in the comics but I enjoyed his arc here and I like that they did take him seriously as a threat even with a few funny jabs at him here and there. Russell as a villain maybe was a little weak, but it didn't really detract from the film too much. I rarely find most comedy films that funny, but Deadpool 2 is a rare laugh-a-second film and I can't wait to rewatch it. 4. Incident in a Ghost Land Production issues aside, Incident in a Ghost Land is a film that made me feel nasty, crazy, and sick to my stomach. It really plays into the psychological aspect and has a twist I did not see coming which threw me for one of the biggest god-damn loops of my life. The two main girls do incredible work in it and make the film as good as it is. 5. Searching The "films that take place on a computer screen" genre can often feel gimmicky, but Searching is masterful in its direction, and John Cho's desperation, anger, love, and sadness while keep you glued to your screen, and you'll find yourself investigating and making conclusions too as the film runs on. 6. Thoroughbreds Love the set design of this film. It may be too quirky for some but I think it gives the film a certain creepiness to it that borders on horror even though it really isn't. The film also has a posthumous Anton Yelchin appearance and naturally he's great here. 7. Avengers: Infinity War Became my favorite MCU film. Thanos is compelling, and it juggles many characters and plots without ever feeling bloated. The snap is a legendary film moment that I'm glad I saw in theaters and I don't say that too often. 8. Upgrade Slick and stylized as hell. The action scenes are really well-directed and I love the kinetic and fluid feel of them. Good use of futuristic use of technology that feels like a Black Mirror episode. 9. Isle of Dogs The animation style is extremely charming and I love the characters, there are some well-done funny moments and action scenes too. 10. Unsane Claire Foy does an excellent job here, and the film being shot with an IPhone gives the film an intimate, claustrophobic, and frenetic atmosphere, and it's portrayal of mental health and paranoia will give you nightmares for sure. --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://i.imgtc.com/3qwvxhc.jpg <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:914089931] in Post topic...
