As a cautionary tale this 2014 horror film, It Follows, written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, could be called the ultimate std movie and it definitely creeps you out after watching. While this film could be seen as the apex of sexual contraception, although the director stated in an interview that even protected/safe sex would not stop the “disease” from spreading.

Written and directed by Alex Garland, the 2015 science fiction film Ex Machina feels a little like “Frankenstein Meets Bluebeard.” This is Garland’s first time in the “big chair” but his name may seem familiar to fans of horror and science fiction. Alex wrote the brilliant 28 Days Later, Sunshine and Never Let Me Go which are just three cinematic treats from this man’s pen.

Written and directed by John Maclean (his first feature length film) this 2015 movie stars Michael Fassbender and Jodi Smit-McPhee and the film can be best described as a whimsical western. Slow West has been somewhat oddly listed as an action thriller and western on IMDb. This over two hour long blackly comic romance story definitely does not fall into action thriller territory, despite its sizable body count.

Unfriended, the 2015 cyber-bulling horror film written by Nelson Greaves and directed by Levan Gabriadze could be called a version of Paranormal Activity on a laptop. Indeed the film works best when viewed, via stream, download or DVD on a laptop, since almost all of the action takes place on a computer screen/monitor via the auspices of Skype.

Written, directed, and starring, Jon Favreau, Chef is the 2014 film that could and did make the world fall in love with the food and the man who brought this small budget independent film to life.

Directed and co-written by Kristian Levring (the other writer was Anders Thomas Jensen)The Salvation is a Danish western that holds the cheese with its reimagining of those Sergio Leone Spaghetti Westerns from the 1960s. However, where Leone’s western tales were epic opera, Levring’s offering is more of a two note aria.
