Love Of Your Life (2026) Potent drama anchored by Margaret Qualley's discreet joy and aching pain as nurse who finds married harmony ripped apart by Covid pandemic, and escapes to Europe to endure sorrow. With easy visual style, arc of recovery is told through earthy emotion and palpable sense of loss.
Deep Water (2026) Disaster movie setup sees stolid co-pilot Aaron Eckhart and passenger stereotypes crash into Pacific Ocean where survivors are surrounded by increasingly ravenous sharks. Rapidly devouring cast, efficiently staged action revels in absurdist rhythms before running out of ideas and energy.
Svaniti nella notte (Vanished Into The Night) (2024) Blandly realised thriller sees under pressure Riccardo Scamarcio reunite with estranged wife Annabelle Wallis when their young children are kidnapped. Mid section sleight of hand promises tension, yet narrative lapses provide few surprises.
If I Stay (2014) Blunt melodrama sees aspiring teen cellist Chloë Grace Moretz in hospital coma after family car crash and hovering between life and death. Sweeping romance with a hopeful rocker never convinces, though performances are solid and celebration of music is enjoyably realized.
Insidious (2010) Plain visuals guide bluntly conceived story structure which finds demonic presence latching on to sensitive Rose Byrne and initially skeptical Patrick Wilson's young son. With sparks of humor amid mix of controlled suspense and jump scares, result is scatter shot effectiveness.
Killing Them Softly (2012) Deliberately paced thriller sees low-level thieves Scoot McNairy and Ben Mendelsohn rob mafia card game before hitman Brad Pitt exacts retribution. Strains social and political relevance with lengthy, theatrically styled dialogue interspersed with abrupt bouts of violence.
'Salem's Lot (2024) Brisk pace quickly jettisons world building as novelist Lewis Pullman finds childhood hometown is base for newly arrived vampire. Battling undead contamination, story rushes through action beats with solid cast yet leaves no room to sustain character or suspense.
