Shin Godzilla 2016
I think whilst Godzilla Minus One succeeds on a technical level, Shin Godzilla excels with its structure, pacing, and a greater understanding of the themes it wants to explore.

The film finds perfect balance in being one of the funniest and one of the most horrible of this year. I was not expecting this film to be so unbeliveably gross. I find sometimes with twisted thrillers/ A24-core THEMED horror movies, that I always want them to go a bit further with the content. This did not disappoint.
