The Spirit (2008)
Jan 11, 2009Comic-Book Superhero
A real head-scratcher. Legendary comic-book writer Frank Miller directs an adaptation of the famous Will Eisner comic-book. A completely madcap film that deserves to be rediscovered as a cult classic
Bird Box (2018)
Feb 9, 2019Mysterious Catastrophe After Which People Are Forced to Not Look Outside

Glass (2019)
Apr 13, 2019Ordinary Superhero and Villains
Unbreakable was M. Night Shyamalan's everyday superhero film. Here he merges the characters from Unbreakable and Split to create his own shared universe. This could in effect be the kitchen sink version of The Avengers
Abominable (2019)
Dec 8, 2019Animation/Cute Yeti
Animated film in which a girl befriends a Yeti. Essentially a rewrite of E.T. that never much rises out of banal formula. On the other hand, I do have an issue with a children's film pushing blatant political propaganda
Run. (2020)
Jan 24, 2021Wheelchair-Ridden Teen Imprisoned by a Psycho Mother
Well constructed thriller where a wheelchair-confined teenager discovers that her mother is up to sinister purpose and attempts to escape despite her lack of mobility
Hold Your Breath (2024)
May 24, 2026Possibly Imagined Horrors in the Dust Bowl
This has quite a few similarities to the underrated The Wind with Sarah Paulson as a mother in the 1930s Dustbowl seeing possible supernatural figures amid the dust storms, which could just as easily be fraying sanity
