| Xtro used to stare at me frequently from the video rental store shelves when I was a teenager but somehow managed to always avoid my VHS player. Until now.
This thing is completely bonkers, makes no sense at all and features as much bad taste as it can fit into its running time. And that's what makes it so entertaining. It's a beautiful mess. |
| Pretty unique and captivating exploitation movie that constantly swings between dark humour and pure nihilism. That final scene though, bloody hell… |
| Enjoyable British bank heist movie with a solid cast, some great lines and a stiff upper lip. |
| It probably worked better on stage, but once the layers start adding up it gets pretty frenetic and hilarious on film too. The cast pulls it off like clockwork. |
| Delightful and witty subversion of the good old whodunnit with a fantastic cast. Great fun. |
| A endless Matryoshka doll of seemingly lost movie fragments and magnificent titles that feels like being inside the head of David Lynch on shrooms. And that's a good thing. |
| Terrorism as a tool for capital or politics. Plus ça change… |
| Take one layer of melancholy, add one layer of high-anxiety. Mix. Then hold your breath for 2 hours. Superb. |
| Weird, unsettling and ambiguous slow-burner with a dream-like atmosphere. It's not perfect but it's highly effective at keeping you guessing at where the frontier between reality and delusion lies. |
| Silly and over the top B-movie fun with a great cast and a proper cameo by Stan Lee. Good stuff. |
