The Others (2001)

Regression (2015)

A detective and a psychoanalyst uncover evidence of a satanic cult while investigating the rape of a young woman.

Despite a good cast and the attempt to create some atmosphere this movie disappoints with an absurdly contrived plot and indecisive direction.

New acquisition: Mar adentro (2004)

Agora (2009)

In Roman Egypt, a slave who turns to the rising tide of Christianity in the hope of pursuing freedom falls in love with his mistress, the famous philosophy and mathematics professor Hypatia of Alexandria.

Despite of all well intentions in production and performance the highly rousing biography of the historic Hypatia is buttered down to a sword and sandal spectacle.

Maltin**: "Potentially interesting tale of science and humanism in conflict with religious intolerance (with obvious to the present day) is too simplistic and melodramatic to make an impression."

New acquisition: Tesis (1996)

Wanted to see this one for quite a while.
