Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%
Directors: Merlin Crossingham & Nick Park
Runtime: 79 minutes
Age rating: PG
Although it narrowly missed out on the Oscar for Best Animated Feature to the film Flow, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl remains a crowd-pleaser, drawing acclaim for its storytelling and animation quality. Reviving the iconic duo sixteen years after their last adventure in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), this installment pits Wallace and Gromit against the infamous Feathers McGraw, who is back to exact his revenge after years behind bars.
This time, Wallace introduces a new tech-savvy gnome to their household, but Gromit soon realizes that relying too much on technology can lead to unintended consequences. The escalating autonomy of the gnomes intertwines ominously with Feathers’ vendetta, adding layers to the narrative that charm and fascinate viewers.
His House (2020)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%
Director: Remi Weekes
Runtime: 93 minutes
Age rating: N/A
Premiering in 2020, His House has not only sustained its perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating but has carved its place as a haunting meditation on identity and migration, interweaving supernatural elements with poignant real-world issues. The narrative follows a couple escaping from the violence in South Sudan as they seek refuge in a quaint English town, where they confront eerie occurrences that hint at the darker aspects of their community and their own personal turmoil.
Creep 2 (2017)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%
Director: Patrick Brice
Runtime: 78 minutes
Age rating: R
I can still recall the unsettling impact of the original Creep, which introduced audiences to an unhinged serial killer. In this gripping sequel, Creep 2, the tension escalates as the killer sets sights on a female videographer. With found-footage horror often igniting deep-seated fears, this installment manages to pull viewers back into its chilling narrative with skillful storytelling.
Us and Them (2018)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%
Director: Rene Liu
Runtime: 120 minutes
Age rating: R
In my quest for transcendent cinematic experiences, Us and Them represents the kind of profound artistry that international films can deliver. This romantic drama from China, helmed by the multi-talented Rene Liu, unfolds a poignant story of love and longing against the backdrop of significant social changes. A brief yet impactful encounter on a train spirals into a whirlwind romance, as the protagonists grapple with their ambitions amidst the complexities of young love, painting a vivid picture of an era marked by transformation.
