Would You Rather
(2012)
|
Kat Halstead
|
There's an interesting premise at the heart of this fairly derivative horror that leans into the "torture porn" sub-genre with disturbing and gruesome effect.

Jose Solís

This Swedish dramedy, based on a bestselling book, works beautifully as a story about reinvention, but also acts as a reminder that life doesn't begin or end when other people decide it should.

Animal Farm

Transforming George Orwell's cautionary tale into a barnyard romp must have been a beast, and while this animated take isn't exactly a hog-wild time, it does get the pigs' pointed lesson across.
