10s Movies
Hereditary [2018]
Hereditary features a very well-thought-out story and incredible character development. This is not your usual jump-scare horror movie but a visceral and haunting tragedy with overwhelming black humor undertones.
Get on Up [2014]
With a stellar performance of Chadwick Boseman as James Brown, Get on Up is a fun biopic with a lot of music and non-linear storytelling worth watching.
The Best of Enemies [2019]
Based on a true story, this is one of those dramas with a really good and engaging atmosphere. The story unfolds matter-of-factly, without melodramatic moments or forced scenes. And it is a crazy story, a story that might seem stranger than fiction, but it is nevertheless true.
The Pack [2015]
To complete the list of animals that can attack and kill you in Australia, The Pack adds vicious and bloodthirsty wild dogs. This is an effective little horror movie featuring a family trapped on their farm by, you guessed it, a pack of wild dogs.
Teleios [2017]
One of the principal themes of Teleios or Beyond the Trek revolves around the definition of what it means to be human. The story seems familiar and yet intriguing, reminiscent of Star Trek. This is not a space opera with huge battleships or aliens but more of a philosophical slow-burner working within the limits of the low budget.
Reality AKA Réalité [2014]
Tired of movies that all look and feel the same? You want to try something new and different? Check out Reality, a French/Belgian slow-burning comedy that will break your mind. This is a perfect movie if you’re having people over and want to blow their minds or engage them in conversation.
The Babysitter [2017]
If you’re hungry for those old school and bloody slashers of the eighties, The Babysitter will satisfy all your murderous desires. It’s delightfully blood-squirting gory, sexy and pacy, with a lot of humor.
The Gentlemen [2019]
This latest Guy Ritchie British crime movie is not a return to his best but it’s still a damn fine movie. Especially when you consider the cast and the story.
Cold Comes The Night [2013]
Perfect for one viewing, Cold Comes The Night is a neo-noir crime thriller in the vein of the Coen brothers movies starring Bryan Cranston and Alice Eve.
Crawl [2019]
Fast-paced, happening in real-time, and taking place during a hurricane, Crawl is one of those mindlessly entertaining movies. But with alligators.
Boar [2017]
A flawed but entertaining horror-comedy about a giant boar killing people in the Australian outback with familiar Aussie actors and decent special effects.
