After beguiling the world with its first installment, the Jurassic films series has delivered four straight duds, mostly awful.

The Beach author, Alex Garland's second feature as director (after moving through some prominent screen-writing with Danny Boyle) Annihilation, was everything this empty and wildly overrated first film was claimed to be. Only Oscar Isaac and elements of the production design shine.

Like with Jason Statham movies, I'm the connoisseur when it comes to that titanic body of work, Liam Neeson movies. This is a very high entry, bolstered by great acting and characterizations from Neeson and the always brilliant Ed Harris.

Memorable, timely, atmospheric and thought provoking entry into the modern horror cannon directed by David Robert Mitchell.

There's no doubt South African director Neill Blomkamp fell away a bit with his follow up to District 9 but I still had a lot of time for Elysium, this, his next project was an unmitigated disaster. Fair play to him for actually making money with such a terrible and inexplicable film but it's far too close to the awfulness of the latter Transformer movies.
