More like The Crucible in a morgue. Salem dudes tortured a innocent girl in the 17th century, so her body gets bounced around modern times, until someone takes a peek and gets brutally murdered by other corpses.
-
My god, the CGI face is so bad! Smack in the middle of the uncanny valley. Mixing it up with real actors of the calibre of Will Smith and Mary Elizabeth Winstead only makes it more cartoonish, but not in a good way like Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.

Was that a Werner Herzog picture as the ersatz Hitler figure?

This is either one of the most subversive medium budget Hollywood films, or its yet another one “hero escorts kid that saves the world”. I’m no exactly sure, let’s go with the bland and safe option, because the alternative is unimaginable. I kept searching for the Chinese producers but they never came. This has no CCCP money, but includes Chinese Red Army imagery.

This is a Mexican, not a Mexican’t. Just the right amount of silly over-the-top B-movie schlock, mixed with hardcore politics. Canonically a part of the Spy Kids universe.
-
A bog-standard biopic about a very interesting story of CIA drug dealings, basically vindicated by internal CIA investigations. Of course the guy that re-broke the story killed himself with seven shots on the back…
-
This is too tasteless for me to be angry about the Israel-Palestine relations portrayed here. It’s all about dick jokes and codpieces.
-
A modern black-as-hell film noir, set in Chicago, decades before Spotlight. For a courtroom drama with people talking, it has some cinematic aerial shots, panning from downtown to the wrong side of the tracks.

I originally saw this many years ago, but there were many images etched into my brain, particularly eating the live octopus and the fight scene in the corridor with the hammer.
-
Oh my lord, a bit part for Léa Seydoux? Mike Meyers in a non-comedic role, post-The Love Guru? Fucking Eli Roth, man! What kind of crazy casting is this?
-
One of the latest ZAZ-like films, made by the last Z of the bunch. This is a less risqué version of The Cannonball Run, with less crazy casting. Amy Smart as the helicopter pilot is as much as they go.

In space, no one can hear you mix body horror with a lot of other cinematic references in a fast paced action film. A great film all around.
