A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
The world's first Iranian vampire western, Ana Lily Amipour's black-and-white debut feature A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night has quickly become one of the most talked-about films of the year. It may have its flaws, but it's definitely a decent attempt by a debutant director.
The Rover
David Michod's highly anticipated follow-up to Animal Kingdom is not only a gritty and intense post-apocalyptic drama, but also a really interesting character study. Bolstered by strong performances by Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce, The Rover explains the true meaning of 'Survival of the Fittest'.
It Follows
Highly entertaining and hair-raisingly scary, David Robert Mitchell's sophomore effort It Follows may be one of the most satisfying chillers of 2014, and one of the best teen horrors of the decade.
Housebound
Filled with twists and turns, Gerard Johnstone's debut feature intelligently plays with horror tropes and makes them its own. Housebound is one of those rare horror-comedies that are hilarious and creepy at the same time.
White God
Fierce and beautiful, Kornél Mundruczó's Cannes award-winning White God serves as an allegory for cultural and political tensions in contemporary Europe. Plus, it includes one of the most unforgettable scenes ever depicted upon public screen.
