The Neon Demon (2016)

 
 
When an aspiring model moves to Los Angeles, her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will take any means necessary to get what she has.
 
Visually gorgeous and mesmerizing tale that takes its view of the beauty industry to a morbid and slightly ironic extreme.

Dark Shadows (2012)


An imprisoned vampire is set free and returns to his ancestral home, where his dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection.
Loving and ironic homage to a popular 60s TV series which, however, can hardly be understood by those who haven't seen the original.
Maltin**1/2: "Amusing spin on the vintage daytime TV drama created by Dan Curtis (with cameos by the original stars). Depp seems to be having fun, but the film never reaches the comic heights one might hope for. Rick Heinrichs' lavish production is a real plus."
