8/10. If someone had told me five years ago that I’d go to the cinema to see a film about the election of a new Pope rather than a comic-book movie, I would have laughed at them, but, world wonder, it's true. Conclave is an unexpectedly gripping, atmospheric and compelling film set in the Vatican where isolated…

7/10. A decent and realistic teacher psycho drama from Germany. The protagonist is a new teacher who has just started at a new school, but soon starts stealing and becomes a target. She had a hidden camera, she knows who the culprit is! A prime example of a man wanting to get justice and solve a fairly straightforward…

A charming Egyptologist on the trail of ancient secrets and dangerous mysteries. A synopsis where you can only trust the conjunction, and Franklin J. Schaffner didn’t direct the film; he embalmed it, and not even the romantic subplot with Ahmed Dracula can save it (as one critic aptly noted, Langella had the charm of…

The psychological horror soon turns surreal, with the imprisoned psychopath murdering through others. He uses dreams and hypnosis to do this. Danny may be a good guy, but he's a moron, so when he spots Laura, the Sleeping Beauty, in the hospital and hears that she's about to become an experimental subject, he decides…

There's a monster killing in the city, and the first massacres convinced me that a xenomorph had jumped in. Too bad they showed its form afterwards. It had a leaky tongue instead of a second set of jaws, but otherwise the inspiration, including the slime, was clear, and I quite like it. Also, there's one nice…

What does a fox do when it gets its paw caught in irons? It bites it off. So much for the character of Furiosa. Otherwise, I was grossly underwhelmed by the first half and had to suffer through it. I understand that it was supposed to be about the development of the main character and her preparation for revenge, but…

Preparing for war isn't just, Hey, let's do it! There are agreements, intrigues, offers, threats. I'm sure some would like every episode to feel like the fourth, but anyone who's read “A Song of Ice and Fire” knows that Martin doesn't write nonstop action. And one of my favorites, “A Feast for Crows”, is intrigue from…

Mona Lisa escapes from an insane asylum and falls into the clutches of the scheming Bonnie, a stripper who neglects her eleven-year-old son Charles. When Bonnie discovers the gift that Mona possesses, she decides to keep her for as long as possible. Meanwhile, she befriends her son, who for the first time gains a…

A variation on Slither, with parasitic lampreys instead of slugs. They have nothing to eat, so they'll take the blood of humans as their reward. Of course, this is a typical product of The Asylum studio, something you should know before watching it to avoid possible disappointment. A town in peril, a stubborn mayor …

Honestly, I’m not even sure what I’m watching anymore—but I know I like it, whatever it is. I’m a bit lost with the whole time-space thing (like how did a dead girl grow up and have a daughter?), but hopefully, the Thai creators will unravel it with some wild plot twist. / Lesson learned: Not every closet leads to…
