A wonderful documentary about the 1970s experiment to raise a chimpanzee as a human child and teach him sign language. Heartbreaking stuff.

Drive (d. Nicolas Winding Refn)

I was totally blown away by every aspect of this movie. I am so mad I didn’t see it in a theater. Without a doubt my favorite movie of 2011.

The Woman (d. Lucky McKee)

Very odd yet compelling sequel to The Offspring. Actress Pollyanna McIntosh is so good. Director Lucky McKee did it again. I loved this movie.

Stake Land (d. Jim Mickle)

Vampire apocalypse as an art house drama. It completely blew me away. Top notch baddassery from star and co-writer Nick Damici.

The Innkeepers (d. Ti West)

Nobody does tense and creepy these days better than Ti West (HOUSE OF THE DEVIL). The 2 leads were believable and funny. I really loved this movie.

Attack The Block (d. Joe Cornish)

Aliens decide to invade one of the toughest neighborhoods in England. Bad idea. Lots of fun to watch and the creature design was very cool.

HONORABLE MENTION

Rubber (d. Quentin Dupieux)

Yes, this movie is about a tire with psychic abilities, but there’s a lot more going on than one would expect from a B-grade horror movie.

Nobody does tense and creepy these days better than Ti West (HOUSE OF THE DEVIL). The 2 leads were believable and funny. I really loved this movie.

I like the first 2 movies a lot, but part 3 should be avoided. Everyone involved seemed like they were just going through the motions.

A rare remake that is far superior than the original. Rooney Mara was fantastic and David Fincher‘s direction was exceptional. A must see.
