Uncle Tony, Three Fools And The Secret Service

 
Documentary focussing on the unfairness generated by being in the grip of a communist regime that takes great care to never be a political film regardless of the fact that this is where the more interesting story lies.

Citadel

 
Plausibly suggests that supernatural terrors are a manifestation of very real fears, up until the point a priest farts out a clunky bit of exposition that plunges everything down into unfathomable levels of catatonic idiocy.

ABCs Of Death 2

 
The films are less concerned with the act of death and more with the concept this time around. No real stinkers, a lot more stuck at 'quite interesting' and only a handful of real standouts - namely A, B, F, G, V and Z. Particularly Z.
 

Only Lovers Left Alive

 
A doomed heroin romance cloaked in vampirism that forced me into a hypnagogic state. Which is a nice way of saying I kept dozing off.

[REC] 4: Apocalypse [[REC] 4: Apocalipsis]

 
A tepid end to the franchise that abandons all the inventive flair built up by previous sequels opting instead for a below average zombie-infection-on-a-boat story with precisely none of the apocalypse promised by the title.

A series of half remembered public information films rendered alien and unsettling by an incessant soundtrack of heavy synth doom.
