Never remotely scary but there are some solid laughs, a decent amount of over-the-top gore, and a grotesque scene featuring a zombie penis.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Osgood Perkins
Cast: Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Boynton, Emma Roberts, James Remar, Lauren Holly

Although neither scary nor creepy (despite its "horror" classification), the movie is a puzzle whose picture fails to snap into focus until the final piece is in place.

Unfortunately, a worthy message doesn’t necessarily equate to a good movie and, in this case, the inequality is evident.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Nudity, Sexual Content, Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: Luca Guardagnino
Cast: Matthias Schoenarts, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Dakota Johnson

Despite a strong cast, gorgeous cinematography, and a suffocating sense of sexual tension, this movie takes far too long to get off the ground.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs, Violence)
Genre: Drama
Director: Jean-Marc Vallee
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, Chris Cooper, Judah Lewis, Heather Lind

The production is uncomfortable and artificial, lacking internal logic and tonal consistency.

"Eye in the Sky" is compelling, offering the best elements of a drama and a thriller.

"Creative Control" looks more interesting than it is

Without jettisoning the tropes and clichés of the disaster film genre ,"The Wave" provides a little more intelligence and drama.

"Son of Saul" is a powerful achievement but I don’t think I could sit through it more than once.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Nudity, Sexual Content)

Charlie Kaufman at his best and worst, but at the very least a discussion-worthy animated feature.
