A Body to Live In
(2025)
|
Benjamin Franz
|
While a heady experience, this should only be viewed by those of an iron constitution and an insatiable curiosity of adult age.

Pariah
(1998)
|
Michael Talbot-Haynes
|
Pariah follows the path of pure grindhouse; it is not tame in any form. While technically a revenge film, it is also a highly venomous horror picture.

Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild
(2008)
|
Alan Ng
|
It's an unapologetic, joke-per-minute sex comedy that refuses to tone itself down. It’s outrageous, wildly specific, and completely committed to the bit.

One of the Good Ones
(2026)
|
Alan Ng
|
By the time One of the Good Ones reaches the endgame, it’s a grimy, straight-ahead corruption story where the question isn’t whether the system is dirty. The real quandary is what it costs the one guy trying to scrub it clean.

Visually sumptuous and brilliantly filled with black humour, Influencers doesn’t pretend to be a healthy genre film. It’s cinematic satiric fun on the level of a Punch and Judy show.

First, it educates. The film goes deep while also only scratching the surface of the lives of little people... Second, it asks tough questions and presents arguments on both sides.

All is Fine in ’89 doesn’t add anything new to our recollection of the time. For those not already intimately familiar with the 80s, the film offers an accurate, if grim, window on what it was like to be a young adult then.
