The First Omen (2024) Leaning heavily on smoky 1970s atmosphere and bursts of striking horror imagery, innocent nun Nell Tiger Free joins Rome orphanage only to suspect a cruel conspiracy attempting to conceive the antichrist. Effectively unstable lead and considered approach towards inevitable conclusion.

Princess Mononoke (1997) Expansively scaled fantasy adventure marries violent action with mystical eccentricities as young prince journeys west to overcome curse only to find endless battle between humans and nature. Strong female protagonists provide enduring character and thematic resonance.

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025) Solid production aids plainly told revenge, as engaging nanny Maika Monroe enters suburban life of busy lawyer Mary Elizabeth Winstead, gradually destabilizing family unit. Tension bubbles without really taking grip, lacking sense of wit and thrills to elevate genre revelations.

Dear Brigitte (1965) Amiably undisciplined comedy revolves around artistically inclined professor James Stewart and more practical Glynis Johns as young son is revealed as math genius with penchant for predicting racetrack winners and obsessed with Brigitte Bardot. Minor effort quickly flounders.

The Woman In Cabin 10 (2025) Ponderous pace drains attempts at tension and mystery as investigative reporter Keira Knightley accepts invitation to travel on superyacht with wealthy philanthropists only to be disbelieved when she claims guest has fallen overboard. Solid cast and production, yet lacks embracing style.

Fehér isten (White God) (2014) Gritty, bracing urban fairytale sees conflicted teen Zsófia Psotta growing up fast as anxious search for her abandoned dog eventually leads to instinctive, bloody revolt by city's mistreated canines. Unflinching vérité aesthetic combines with compellingly staged production for vivid results.

Late Night With The Devil (2023) Acute design and intelligent staging persuasively establish found footage from 1970s U.S. late night TV talk show, accentuating enjoyably dark humor as edgy host David Dastmalchian invites evil live on air. Concept strains drama yet delivers on fierce revelations.

Longlegs (2023) Severe, styled visuals create unnerving setting for narrative slipping between serial killer pursuit and supernatural contamination as intense FBI Agent Maika Monroe uncovers personal link with demonically hyped suspect Nicholas Cage. Maintains dark wit amid anxious cruelty.
