• The Grudge 2004

• The Face of an Angel 2014

  Random hodgepodge of stuff about Meredith Kercher, a Briton murdered in Italy. Based on a tabloid writer’s book, so you get what you pay for.

• Até Que o Porno nos Separe 2018

  More Refn weirdness, dedicated to Alejandro Jodorowski. Bangkok Dangerous-ly dark.
