    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

    ★★★★

    I don’t think any of the other Texas Chainsaw sequels are quite this unhinged. A candy colored nightmare where everyone’s screaming and Leatherface pops a boner with a chainsaw. What more could you want?

  • Furious

    Furious

    ★★★★

    Furious is the kind of movie you’d wake up to in the middle of the night and wonder if you were still dreaming. A low budget martial arts phantasmagoria featuring a cackling villain, a whispering statue, and lots of chickens.

    Knights of Sidonia: Love Woven in the Stars

    ★★★

    Love Woven in the Stars is the epilogue to the Knights of Sidonia TV anime that premiered on Netflix nearly 8 years ago. It was long rumored there would be a third season that would adapt the final five volumes of the manga series, but Polygon Pictures opted for a theatrical finale instead. It’s a satisfying enough conclusion that does a mostly decent job of wrapping things up.

    Ghost Hound

    ★★★★

    Ghost Hound is basically Ryūtarō Nakamura and Chiaki J. Konaka’s Twin Peaks. It’s an ambitious TV anime chock full of ideas tied to ghosts, paranormal occurrences, out-of-body experiences, religious cults, and the like.

    It explores the small town of Suiten through the eyes of three boys who each suffered through a personal trauma in their childhood. They investigate the strange occurrences in their town together and how they might be related to their pasts. 

    Ghost Hound isn’t going to be…
