Black Box (2020)

A father who lost his memory in an accident begins to doubt his own identity.

'Black Box' is a sci-fi horror film that maintains interest quite effectively. The moment when the causes of the mystery are explained is, as usual, the moment when the film appears banal and uninteresting, but it does not cancel the positive effect built up until then.

Director:  Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour      
With: Mamoudou Athie, Phylicia Rashad, Amanda Christine, Tosin Morohunfola

Rating: 7/10

Underwater (2020)

A group of oceanic researchers try to survive in an underwater complex after the construction is affected by an earthquake.

"Underwater" is a horror with monsters, where the source of the horrors is not from space, but from the still unexplored marine world. The film touches on themes such as natural things that should not be touched, modified by human life, but it mainly is an effective and well-made creature feature.

Director:  William Eubank   
With: Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassel, Mamoudou Athie, T.J. Miller, Jessica Henwick, John Gallagher Jr.
