All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)

 

A group of high-schoolers invite Mandy Lane, an innocent, desirable girl, to a weekend party on a secluded ranch. While the festivities rage on, the number of revelers begins to drop mysteriously. 

Standard slasher horror flick with the usual cast of displeasant teenagers ends with an unprepared and silly twist.

Maltin*1/2: "Variation on a typical slasher film is boring and its characters obnoxious until a (sick) twist at the end, if you last that long. Mandy's character isn't explained or explored." 

Monsters (2010)

Six years after Earth has suffered an alien invasion, a cynical journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through an infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the U.S. border.

Refreshingly idiosyncratic sci-fi road movie uses the term aliens in both senses of the word (the USA even has built a large wall on the Mexican border!), but the low budget shows with the monster scenes held mostly in dark, and the human interest in the story is quite limited.

Maltin**1/2: "Unusually conceived, ultra-low-budget is surprisingly intelligent and occasionally suspenseful, though it's overlong, inconclusive, and the acting level varies sharply. Still, an impressive debut..."

Pound of Flesh (2010)

A popular college professor and confirmed sensualist, provides scholarships for gorgeous college girls through an escort service, whose satisfied clients include the chairman of the school board, the chief of police, and even the Mayor of their idyllic college town.
