Antiviral (2012)


 

A thriving industry sells celebrity illnesses to their obsessed fans. Employee Syd March's attempts to exploit the system backfire when they involve him in a potentially deadly mystery.

A truly dystopian vision presents a future in which capitalist interests have created a market for body modification and the spread of viruses; well made and photographed in clinical whites enhancing the horror of the goings-on and the truly devastating ending.

Get Out (2017)



A young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)



A mother personally challenges the local authorities to solve her daughter's murder when they fail to catch the culprit.
