An Alaskan town is plunged into darkness for a month. That is scary on its own, but the town is attacked by a gang of vampires. And they feast best when there is no sunlight. The people in the town have to survive those 30 days of night, without being victimized by the bloodthirsty vampires. A seriously underrated film.
An Ozark Mountain girl hacks through dangerous social terrain as she hunts down her drug-dealing father, while trying to keep her family intact. Jennifer Lawrence’s big break in a small indie film. “Winter’s Bone” will grab your attention and never lets go.
A shady lawyer attempts a Christmas Eve crime, hoping to swindle the local mob out of some money. But his partner, a strip club owner, might have different plans for the cash. It’s John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton that make this movie. It’s a dark comedy with a hint of film noir. Not appreciated enough.
Set in a future where a failed climate-change experiment kills all life on the plnet except for a lucky few who boarded the Snowpieercer, a train that travels around the globe where glass system emerges. Lots of social commentary and one of the most surprising and original films I have seen the past 20 years.
Wyoming winter, a bounty hunter and his prisoner find shelter in a cabin currently inhabited by a collection of nefarious characters. Most of the film is set in this cabin, with strong dialogue and mysterious, interesting, extraordinary characters. Tarantino did a good job.
