The Queen's Gambit (2020)
Orphaned at 9, prodigious introvert Beth Harmon discovers and masters the game of chess in 1960s USA. But, child stardom comes at a price.
Top-notch TV production convinces with great period detail and managing to create a compelling story on an unusual topic (chess), but it's mainly Anya Taylor-Joy's compelling performance that made this TV mini-series so successful.
Stridulum (1979)
The soul of a young girl with telekinetic powers becomes the prize in a fight between forces of God and the Devil.
After an interesting Jodorowsky-like opening sequence this star-studded horror flick descends into a wildly incohesive Omen wannabee; some weird sequences do make it watchable, though.
Halliwell (no star): "Fussy direction, minimal acting and a plot that makes little sense combine to create an incoherent movie."
Maltin**: "...this passable time-killer wastes a good cast in yet another OMEN rip-off; too bad Huston or Peckinpah couldn't have directed as well."
