The Substance 2024
Utterly absurd and completely unforgiving, a landmark of 2020s cinema that much like the titular drug, is an addictive experience to be engaged with.
A deranged combination of forms. On one hand paying tribute to the body horror of Cronenberg and the disgusting, mind-bending practical effects of The Thing, and on the other hand showing shades of Kubrick through the uncanny camera work, set design, and disturbing characters.

Trap 2024
No you are not dreaming. Yes I have rated an M. Night film this high. Trap is such a goofy ride. It takes a concept like Hitchcock did with Rope and spins it into an enthralling cat and mouse. The joy is not in who done it, but will they get caught. Great premise, brilliantly executed. It sets up like a Hitman level and edges forwards with tension in spite of its hilariously off beat humour. I was completely engulfed by…
