- Calibre
This film is a perfect thriller at every level built upon a series of slow building, escalating sequences and a fantastic example of what can be done with limited resources. Jack Lowden and Martin McCann have acted brilliantly in the lead roles with Mark Gyori’s sharp cinematography.
- 1922
This is a film based on the novel by Stephen King set in 1922 on a farm in Nebraska and the story revolves around the intense conflict within a family leading to its destruction. Killing is easy but it’s the living with it afterward that’s hard. A murder tale so one can expect plenty of horrific visuals, gore and insanity.

A well blended mix of comedy, horror and social commentary by director Macon Blair. The story is about how a woman after being burglarized is depressed and along with her obnoxious neighbor sets out to find the thieves but find themselves up against a group of dangerous crimainals.

- Set It Up
The Plot follows two under- appreciated interns scheming to make their horrible bosses fall in love in order to get some precious free time away from their demanding jobs.

- Apostle
An absolute gift for those who enjoy watching horror movies. Apostle is an ultimate absorbing movie with beautiful acting and there was never a dull moment throughout the movie. The story revolves around a man (Dan stevens)on a hunt to save his kidnapped sister lands in an island ruled by a mysterious cult in Apostle, a horror film written and directed by Gareth Evans. The movie takes viewers on a slow-burn journey before letting loose with some repulsively brutal violence and a satisfyingly insane finale.
Fantastic performance by Sandra Bullock as a mother attempting to keep her kids safe amid an invasion by extraterrestrial entities who will kill anyone that looks at them. An emotional and keep-you-on-edge plot that kept your interest till the very end. I was disappointed when the movie ended.

A movie on Anorexia, setting an alarm bell though a rather disturbing movie about eating disorders and what it does to people around them .
