Darkly comedic, but also oozing with originality, this is something you can't miss if you like 'weird/obscure' movies!

- DirectorRobert EggersStarsAnya Taylor-JoyRalph InesonKate DickieA family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.Definitely not everyones cup of tea because of how slow it can be, but it's superbly made!
- DirectorJoel EdgertonStarsJason BatemanRebecca HallJoel EdgertonA married couple, Simon and Robyn, run into Gordo, an old classmate. Things take a turn when Gordo begins to drop in unannounced at their house and inundates them with mysterious gifts.A rare gem and a great directorial debut!
- DirectorJulia DucournauStarsGarance MarillierElla RumpfRabah Nait OufellaA young woman, studying to be a vet, develops a craving for human flesh.One of my favorite movies of the year (2017 USA Release). It's stylish as hell and shot beautifully. Easily one of the better cannibalism movies out there. Head into the movie with a more dramatic mindset than straight out carnage! Great movie
- DirectorScott CooperStarsScott ShepherdRosamund PikeAva CooperIn 1892, a legendary Army Captain reluctantly agrees to escort a Cheyenne chief and his family through dangerous territory.Predictable but enjoyable! Good music too!

- DirectorJeremy SaulnierStarsJeffrey WrightAlexander SkarsgårdJames Badge DaleAfter the deaths of three children suspected to be killed by wolves, writer Russell Core is hired by the mother of a missing six-year-old boy to track down and locate her son in the Alaskan wilderness.Doesn't quite live up to expectations, but this does provide an eerie and chilly atmosphere. Expect to be asking questions when this one ends.
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsJake GyllenhaalMélanie LaurentSarah GadonA man seeks out his exact look-alike after spotting him in a movie.A total mind bending. Certainly not for everyone. This one isn't easy to swallow.
- DirectorBong Joon HoStarsTilda SwintonPaul DanoAhn Seo-hyunA young girl risks everything to prevent a powerful, multinational company from kidnapping her best friend - a fascinating beast named Okja.An usual mix of bizarre action and important Themes. Bong has created another solid film, this time about the horrors of capitalism. 7/10
- DirectorJaco Van DormaelStarsJared LetoSarah PolleyDiane KrugerA boy stands on a station platform as a train is about to leave. Should he go with his mother or stay with his father? Infinite possibilities arise from this decision. As long as he doesn't choose, anything is possible.An interesting sci-fi drama that explores the life of the last mortal on earth! 7/10

- DirectorDavid MichôdStarsBrad PittDaniel BettsJohn MagaroAn idiosyncratic general confronts opposition from enemies, allies, and bureaucrats while leading a massive rebuilding operation in Afghanistan.Disappointing after a great trailer, Brad Pitt makes the most of this military satire. If only it knew how to focus on a single tone vs shifting around from satire, war horror, to political drama. Fails to leave a lasting impression. 6/10
- DirectorNicolas PesceStarsKika MagalhãesWill BrillOlivia BondIn their secluded farmhouse, a mother (a former surgeon) teaches her daughter, Francisca, anatomy, and how life and death are not to be feared. One afternoon, a mysterious visitor shatters the idyll of their family life, and deeply traumatises Francisca, but also awakens curiosities. Years later, Francisca clings to her increasingly distant father, but the trauma she sustained reawaken when her desire to connect with the world around her takes on a dark form.A Slow Drama-Horror. Probably only for users who can appreciate a slow burn. A brief 76 minutes!

If you like goofy, over the top concept movies...this should satisfy. Otherwise, avoid!
