Movie toplist: 1001 to 1025
Alone
"Fans of Shutter should really try and find this film as there is little that can disappoint them."
Afro Samurai: Resurrection
"If you're up for some good solid fun and don't have too much trouble neglecting the grating dub and soundtrack, there is plenty of amusement to be had from this film."
Ip Man 3
"Wilson Yip did well to wait a couple of years before making this third instalment. Yip Man 3 is a worthy successor, in every way possible."
Hole in the Sky
"Hole In The Sky is slow-paced cinema. There isn't much happening in terms of dramatic events, the characters are rigid and introvert and odd behavior is often taken for granted."
St. John's Wort
"It is far from a perfect film, maybe not a film that will stay with you for a very long time, but it sure sticks out from the rest."
The Unforgiving
"If you're up for a no-bullshit horror/thriller, you can't really go wrong with The Unforgiving."
Gratitude
"The soundtrack and visuals wrap themselves around the audience like a warm blanket while the drama slowly unfolds and runs its course. Fans of the genre will feel right at home"
Seventh Moon
"It's a shame that Sanchez couldn't get the camera work right, otherwise Seventh Moon could've been a contender of films like [Rec] and Blair Witch."
Tamami: The Baby's Curse
"It sports a cool main character, some nice camera work and very atmospheric and detailed styling."
Ghost in the Shell 2.0
"It was a while since I last watched Ghost in the Shell, but the film still feels like a dream."
This Must Be the Place
"This Must Be The Place is a lovely mix of comedy, absurdity and human drama, featuring a strong lead and a memorable cast of secondary characters."
The Collector
"The pacing is fast, the tension strong and the concept fun enough to make it a lovely little genre film."
Women Play Twice
"Considering the film as a whole it's not that much different from a normal feature-length Japanese drama, though the change in characters and perspectives do add some welcome variation."
Batman: Gotham Knight
"The animation is top-notch, the art styles are bold and out there, and with six separate stories to tell there's plenty of variation. Batman fares well in anime land."
Butterfly
"The stylish cinematography, the beautiful soundtrack, and two amazing central performances make this a lively and empathic LGBTQ+ romance."
In Love with the Dead
"In Love With The Dead is a neat little genre film that thrives on atmosphere, providing a solid dramatic base overlaid with dark and brooding sentiments."
Harry Brown
"Harry Brown has quite a lot to offer. Visually strong, aided by a great soundtrack and a more than solid cast, it's a grim film that presents itself way better than most of the competition."
Snow White: The Sequel
"The film is pretty short and rightfully so. A joke can only be stretched that far, and when you start getting used to the tone of the film the fun slowly fades."
Hold Up Down
"The comedy is spot on, the cinematography is solid, the film works up to a strong crescendo and there are some very memorable scenes scattered throughout."
The Seaside Motel
"It's definitely not the best entry in the genre, but it's a very welcome addition for those craving fresh meat."
CJ7
"A film that could charm you as easily as it could disappoint you. Chow is enough of a director to pull it off, but those wanting another typical Chow comedy will be left with empty hands."
White Panic
"All in all White Panic is a great calling card for director Shugo Fujii (who you might already know from Living Hell)."
7 Days
"Les 7 Jour du Talion is another great entry in the Francophone wave of modern horror films."
Loved Gun
"Loved Gun is a moody crime flick, built on an excellent cast and enriched with a layer of comedic touches, aptly hidden behind a veil of introspection and subdued stylistic choices."
Leaving Me, Loving You
"Wonderful cinematography, lush sets and two strong actors make this film. You have to wade through a few mushy parts, mostly in the beginning, after that it's all good."
