Stopmotion, a blend of live-action and stop-motion animation, is marketed as a horror film, and to some extent, that is true.

“Natural City” lacks the captivating atmosphere, depth, ambivalence, and philosophical undertones of Ridley Scott’s masterpiece.

The film begins as a story of unhappy love, then transforms into a spy thriller with road movie elements, and ends as a science fiction warning.

The film opens with a sequence of Edgar Allan Poe searching through a tomb to confirm the existence of ghosts.

One cannot miss the subtle satire in Warm Greetings from Earth on both human foibles and Czechoslovak socialism.

Blue Sunshine is poorly acted, badly written, and even worse directed. It’s impossible to hold back laughter.

Indeed, Baskin looks like what Lucio Fulci’s work might have been if the Italian director had larger budgets and better technology.

The film’s ambivalent tone is one of its greatest strengths.

“Humanist Vampire” is more than just an exercise in blending styles and creating atmosphere; it has a deeper meaning beneath it all.

The inventive world-building is the greatest asset of “Vesper.” The post-apocalyptic reality is exceptionally convincing, almost alive.
