Ingrid Goes West, 2017
Nobody plays the scary weirdo like Aubrey Plaza. This movie was disturbing on many levels.

Pretty standard man vs nature story. I know it’s based on a true story but the last 15 minutes or so were way to schmaltzy for me.
A surprisingly candid Spielberg opens up about his early years but the film gets a little spotty covering the later years. It’s hard not be impressed by what he has created over the last 40+ years.
What a great twist on the home invasion genre. I was taken aback at how tense this movie was. I really got into it. A real treat for horror fans.
The most realistic portrayal of teenage boys since probably River’s Edge. A very strong feature debut from director Kevin Phillips.
The ultimate movie endurance test. It really tried my patience but I made it to the end. I have no idea what happened.
Really well made and acted revenge thriller. The on-screen body count was something I haven’t seen before.
I liked it a lot but it falls into the typical Stephen King formula – good first half, terrible last 10 minutes.
Fantastic practical effects, so-so story. It was hard to figure out the lead’s power set exactly, every few minutes she had some new disgusting way to kill people.
I different take on a typical hostage movie, The filmmakers sure loved their levitating gimmick.
Very unique story about creativity and the need to find your own voice. Great art direction on the interior cardboard labyrinth.

The jokes mostly fell flat but there was some very unique zombie kills.
A pretty much middle of the road home invasion thriller. Doesn’t bring anything new to the genre.
