Black Bag
This is very skillful genre filmmaking, with an understated, no-nonsense, flair. It’s a pleasure to watch.

It is entertaining seeing this maniac try to think himself out of trouble for a while, because it isn’t until later that its flaws take over

Oddity
This isn’t a story about twists and turns; this is about a mood. Even when I saw a reveal coming, I was entertained by the how.

Longlegs
Osgood Perkins effectively generates tension in individual scenes, but can’t quite sustain it throughout.

The Watchers
The movie itself isn’t particularly scary, but the setup, unsettling location and pacing went a long way in keeping my attention.
