Green Room

*Top Recommendation

I love this movie, its an intense isolated neo-grindhouse thriller,
a down on their luck punk band accept an offer to play a venue filled with Nazis, while there things go awry and they are left fighting for their lives in the venues Green Room.

Kristy (2014)    

*Top Recommendation

Kristy is a great straight-forward slasher film, 
If you like this sub-genre I cannot recommend it enough.

The Dirties (2013)

Found Footage film about two boys creating a student project for their filmmaking class about school shootings. It approaches a very sensitive subject masterfully and for the first half is endearing and funny and in the second half is anything but that. 
One of , if not the best film covering the psychosocial issues which result in mass shootings.

VFW

Vietnam vets fight off a horde of crazed drug addicts.
If you like The Warriors you will love this. Feels like it was made in the 80's, everything from its synth soundtrack, grainy VHS filter and gritty violence make it sit right at home with the great grindhouse movies of that decade.

Bound To Vengeance

A young woman is kidnapped and gets the upper hand on her captor, forcing him to guide her on her revenge quest to find the locations of the other women he has trafficked. 

Run, Hide, Fight (2020)

School shooting movie that's basically die hard in a school.

Ok, ok, hold on, bare with me on this one, if you've heard anything about this movie you know the people who produced it are pieces of shit and there is a fair bit of alt-right propaganda in it but.....I really liked it, it would have gotten a five from me easily if its political messaging wasn't so stupid, as a film, as entertainment , I had a good time, sue me. it annoys me that they shoved that stuff in there because without it, it would be a much, much better movie.

Raze

Grindhouse action film starring Zoe Bell about women who have been kidnapped by a shady organisation and forced to fight each other to the death. it's really good up until the last three minutes, still worth checking out. Zoe Bell is a badass in it.

Open 24 Hours

Straight forward isolated slasher flick,
while it has its problems I enjoyed it

Emelie (2015)
