Sci Fi Thriller Movies Persepolis Graphic NovelAug 13, 2016 at 1804. LesserKnown Hollywood Movies For Everyone To Binge On This Long Weekend. Aditya Varma. In celebration of the new, profane animated comedy Sausage Party, weve assembled our own picks for the five best Rrated animated movies. See how well critics are rating the Best Movies of All Time Page 2. Sci Fi Thriller Movies Persepolis ' title='Sci Fi Thriller Movies Persepolis ' />Its very hard for any subtitled film to break through in English speaking countries. In many ways you could argue that all foreign language films are underappreciated. Even the ones you assume that everyone must have heard of Oldboy, The Raid, etc. But for every cross over hit meaning its getting a Hollywood remake there are a ton of incredible films from around the world which charm and amaze a select few, and didnt garner the wide spread appreciation they undoubtedly deserve. So without further ado, here are 2. Horse racing Ice hockey Karate Olympics Racing Motorsport Baseball is a batandball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal is to score. Sci Fi Thriller Movies Persepolis BookI Saw the Devil Korea, 2. This is the tale of revenge, murder, and how the lines between good and evil can blur so much you can no longer tell where one begins and the other ends except that they both end in shocking violence. Master director Kim Jee Woon crafted this stunningly executed tale of a psychopathic killer with no morals, who is relentlessly tracked by a cop with a personal vendetta, and no desire to see justice down by the letter of the law. If you thought the Vengeance trilogy was the last word in this subject, then think again I Saw the Devil turns revenge films inside out, and pushes the traditional cops and criminals genre into incredible new territory to boot. Its a hard and brutal watch, but the violence always informs, and is never simply to titillate. Incendies Canada, 2. Described by one than one critic as a masterpiece, this offering from Quebecois cinema is fully deserving of the praise. Told partly in flashbacks, Incendies traces the life Nawal Marwan, an immigrant to Canada, who dies of a stroke leaving behind the mystery of her past. Her twin children travel to the Middle East to unravel her secrets, while we as an audience discover the truth about how it is to survive in a country wracked by civil war, and in a culture utterly alien to us in the West. Incendies is a film which will stay with you long after the end credits, as secret adoptions, assassinations, extremists, and brutal prison regimes all play their part. It also challenges the viewers to cast aside many of their assumptions about right and wrong, as well as questioning the doctrine of fate many of us believe in. Dorm Thailand, 2. Beautifully shot, designed, and acted, this chilling horror tale about a young boy sent to a creepy boarding school is as much about emotional nuance as it is about scaring the bejesus out of you. An almost spiritual cousin to the similarly themed The Devils Backbone, Dorm also plays with the intense sense of isolation and loneliness you experience as a child, cut off from family and forced to confront horrors far beyond your experience. Cult Horror Cartoons The Drawn Together Cartoon: The Cartoon!. While incredibly atmospheric and suitably scary, theres so much character work in this film it rises above beyond most tacky horror movies, and into the category of excellent films that demand to be seen. Tell No One France, 2. Years after a successful doctors wife is murdered, he receives an email from her, kick starting an unstoppable chain of events that will leave the viewer bewildered and breathless. Based on an American novel by Harlen Coben, this is for my money the perfect example of how to not only craft a brilliant and tense mystery thriller, but also adapt and improve upon an already brilliant book. Its a film with big heart, and unstoppable adrenaline once Dr Alexandre Beck is strongly implicated in a double homicide of which he has no knowledge the pace never relents, and the mystery of his wifes murder only deepens. Its engrossing, twisting, and ultimately incredibly satisfying, plus features in Dr Becks briard one of the most loveable canine sidekicks in decades. If you dont believe me, just ask Michael Caine, who rates it in his top ten movies of all timeDead Snow Norway, 2. As endless computer game modes have shown, who doesnt love zombie Nazis Or is that Nazi zombiesA mix of high camp, every horror beat you can imagine, and a ludicrous amount of blood and gore, Dead Snow is nothing new, but that doesnt stop it being a joyfully chaotic and often quite scary horror film, and one which sadly is never much regarded beyond its premise. For those who take the time to watch it though, youll be rewarded with a love letter to old school horror special effects, great action scenes, and some excellent kills. Soul Boy Kenya, 2. A perfect example of an engaging, inventive film which could have only been produced abroad, Soul Boy tells the story of a young slum boy from Nairobi and his quest to restore his fathers stolen soul. Produced, directed, and starring first time film makers from the same Kibera slum it is set in, the film came about under the mentorship of German director Tom Twyker Run Lola Run and Cloud Atlas as a way of giving underprivileged Kenyans the skills to make cinema. It taps into many Kenyan myths, but does so in a way that is incredibly inclusive for a wider audience. Its a pulsating movie which never lets up as you follow young Abila on his quest to reconnect with his father, and explore his local environment. Its a shame that it only gained limited release in the UK, as its simply brilliant. Cargo Switzerland, 2. I cant say Im aware of many Swiss sci fi films, so that alone should make this sadly underrated 2. Luckily for those that do take the time though, youll discover a surprisingly thoughtful space thriller. Set in a future where Earth is abandoned, with the rich living on a new planet and the rest of us in orbiting space stations, Cargo follows the journey of Dr. Laura Portmann, who is making the eight year journey to Rhea to meet her sister. What she finds instead is a terrorist threat, unexplained mysteries, and an apparent stowaway on board. With hints of Event Horizon about it, Cargo instead focuses on what scientists term space craziness, and poses intriguing questions about just what all that time up there will do to us. Special Forces France, 2. For those who think action cinema is the domain of Hollywood, with occasional guest appearances from Hong Kong, then I highly recommend you watch this recent French effort. With a cast which would be the envy of any English language production, Special Forces pits Diane Krugers crusading journalist against a brutal Afghan warlord, leading to her capture and the French governments decision to send a special forces team led by Djimon Hounsou to rescue her. What follows is nail biting tension as the outmatched team desperately fight a rear guard action across the inhospitable landscape in order to save their mission. Superb action, moving characterisation, and excellent performances mark Special Forces as a cut above the average war film, and a sign that French cinema can more than match Hollywood. Rare Exports A Christmas Tale Finland, 2. Recently while away for Christmas, a guy asked a group of us if we wanted to watch a film. He then proceeded to tell us about this amazing film hed heard about featuring a killermonster Santa. It was then that I knew Rare Exports was going to be a future cult classic. A pretty bat shit mental Finnish folk tale, Rare Exports harks back to the darker roots of St Nick, and works as both a re imagination and clever deconstruction of the Santa Claus myth that has children the world over leaving out drinks and snacks for Father Christmas, while also never questioning the reality of something visiting you down the chimney at night. A dark horror fantasy held together by a well played father son dynamic, Rare Exports is just the sort of Christmas film we should all be enjoying. Innocence France, 2. Set in an isolated boarding school deep in a dense forest, with seemingly no way out, and arrivals via coffins, Innocence tackles the delicate subject of puberty and sexual awareness. The title says it all however as just how innocent this film is lies in the perception of the viewer.
