It Comes at Night (2017)

Secure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, a man has established a tenuous domestic order with his wife and son. Then a desperate young family arrives seeking refuge.

Dark and effective post-apocalyptic drama is more focused on the psychological repercussions of a (vaguely sketched) catastrophe than on any horror tropes; although a strong effort, its elliptical tale-telling does diminish its impact.

Logan Lucky (2017)

Two brothers attempt to pull off a heist during a NASCAR race in North Carolina.

As to be expected by this director, this movie is well executed with a good script and a prime ensemble of actors, has humor and some suspense, but who needs yet another heist movie? 

The House That Jack Built (2018)

The story follows Jack, a highly intelligent serial killer, over the course of twelve years, and depicts the murders that really develop his inner madman.

Beyond the serial killer portrait and some truly disturbing scenes this is an excellently complex exploration of human existence and the frailty and ambiguity of art - and a self-critical reflection of von Trier's previous œuvre.

Hold the Dark (2018)

After the deaths of three children suspected to be killed by wolves, a writer is hired by the mother of a missing six-year-old boy to track down and locate their son in the Alaskan wilderness.

Atmospherically dark and violent drama with great landscape cinematography and excellent cast ultimately disappoints by refusing to give any explanation or sense to what's going on.

After reading the book that does deliver more explanation to the plot and motives of the protagonists and rewatching the movie it is obvious that it was deliberately made to leave the audience puzzled.

The Discovery (2017)

Two years after the afterlife is scientifically proven, a man attempts to help a young woman break away from her dark past.

An intriguing premise is muddled by a half-hearted treatment and a disappointing ending, and the central romance between Mara and Segel is simply mismatched.

The Runaways (2010)

A coming-of-age biographical film about the 1970s teenage all-girl rock band The Runaways.

The movie has a good cast and some accurate period detail and emphasizes the conflicts within the band, but is slow-paced and hardly captures the thrill and excitement of an up-and-coming rock'n'roll band.

Maltin***: "Although the genre is well worn, this telling seems genuine and fresh; Fanning and Shannon are exceptionally good...Impressive feature debut for Sigismondi..."

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

A woman rebels against a tyrannical ruler in post apocalyptic Australia in search for her homeland with the help of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic worshiper, and a drifter named Max.

An amazing action fantasy, professionally made in all departments, creating a mad apocalyptic world with a cast of interesting characters and showcasing some of the best action sequences ever seen on screen; it not only tops all previous attempts in the series, but probably will be the litmus test for future action movies to come.
