Excellent fucking psycho stuff, where the director shows a great amount of talent. The sound work, the images, tge creepy atmosphere, and the resolution are all at a very high level. The director might be on something, but his perverse imagination is welcome in horror! 8/10.

Interesting idea and visuals, but I expected more from André Øvredal. It's a shame that he leaves everything to the viewers' imagination; I was quite curious about what could have happened in the middle of the tunnel. It could have been epic, but the director chose a more modest path, one that doesn't really work for me. 6/10.

A solid crime thriller starring the brilliant and good-looking Carey Mulligan, who at 36 looks great. The protagonist is traumatized by a tragic event from the past and seeks revenge on all men who abuse women under the influence of alcohol. The concept is great and it's a bit of a shame that the film avoids violence, as in a few scenes it clearly called for it, but it seems to be aimed at academic awards, so maybe that's why. The film flows at a good pace, can be funny in certain scenes, occasionally creates a decent psycho atmosphere, and the ending is definitely unexpected, although not entirely satisfying. A decent film that captivates more with its story, actors, and atmosphere, and if it didn't shy away from brutality, it would be even better.

Dragon fantasy in amazing CGI animation with everything that belongs to it. A feature length movie would be welcome. Awesome! 8/10.

Netflix is starting this year quite promisingly with the adaptation of the legendary thief Lupin, brilliantly portrayed by Omar Sy. The opening heist at the Louvre is absolutely perfect, and it's a bit disappointing that the series doesn't stick to that style. Instead, it focuses on investigation and pursuit of the truth. But as a crime drama, it works decently well. Omar Sy brilliantly outsmarts the police and handles everything with ease. The show is fast-paced, entertaining, and smart. There are allegedly two more episodes to come, which are currently unavailable, so hopefully they will be released soon.

Decent Danish thriller with elements of exploitation! Merciless businesswomen kidnap young women for their bio-hacking experiment to suppress the aging process, and they carry it out in an underground medical facility where the women are kept in cages like animals. It’s shot very nicely, with decent performances (the protagonist is naturally incredibly attractive, so the viewer cheers for her a lot), and the tension works as well. Breeder picks up nicely in the last half hour, though it's disappointing that gore was relatively spared. It rather plays on a psychological string, but that's how Martyrs was as well. I slightly overrate it, since nothing has come out from my favorite subgenre for a long time, and Breeder is definitely decent. Story***, Action***, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment****, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Tension****. 7/10.

A hallucinogenic, dreamlike, captivating, and quite entertaining film starring Justin Long. He  takes a mysterious drug at a party and goes on a crazy trip. Roaming through rooms, alternative dimensions, hallucinations, and a somewhat fantastical view of the world. Once the dealer played Ronnie Gene Blevins comes into the scene (he is simply exemplary and terrifying), things take a rather decent turn. Decent. Story****, Action***, Humor**, Violence*, Entertainment****, Music***, Visual****, Atmosphere****, Tension***. 6/10.

A strong erotic drama on the edge of sexploitation, with a sometimes uncomfortable, authentic, hopeless and very realistically portrayed insight into today's prostitution. The story focuses on the beautiful 19-year-old Laura, she is in school, but lacks the money to pay for everything and so she tries this "last" option of sex for money. This leads to an uncontrollable and fateful spiral, where we see the protagonist going from one apartment to another and doing quite naughty things. Nudity is shown in all its beauty and it may be uncomfortable for some female viewers. France is once again on form. Story****, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment****, Music***, Visual***, Atmosphere****, Tension***. 7.5/10.

Nice atmosphere and a good-looking villain, but that's pretty much it. It looks good, but more drive wouldn't hurt. 6/10.

The animation is very good at the level of Disney and Pixar, but the story didn't really interest me and the humor is absent, which is the most disappointing. However, the different monsters are great and the finale is nicely action-packed and grand at the same time. The final plot twist is also interesting and well-thought-out. Better than the third one. Story***, Action***, Humor>No, Violence>No, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere***, Tension*. 6/10.
