Nope (2022)

A brother and sister try to save their horse farm by filming genuine UFO activity.

'Nope' is a successful experimental attempt by Jordan Peele in the science fiction genre. The thriller and sci-fi elements are moderate, but the dynamic of the characters is interesting and multidimensional and the main strong feature of the film.

Director:  Jordan Peele  

With: Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Brandon Perea, Michael Wincott, Keith David, Steven Yeun

Rating: 7.6/10

Mayhem (2017)

Derek is mistreated at the law firm where he works, on the same day that a virus that cancels any inhibitions is released into the building.

'Mayhem' is a horror-comedy film that tries using a light satire to make fun of troubling human realities based on the hidden thoughts that all human beings have in common but don't act upon. The filmmakers made it easy to figure out who the "bad guys" are supposed to be and who can be forgiven after all their uncontrollable acts. The fast action takes no time-out and no character has an iota of forgiveness left in them.

Director:  Joe Lynch    

With: Steven Yeun, Samara Weaving, Steven Brand, Caroline Chikezie, Kerry Fox, Dallas Roberts, Mark Frost

Rating: 8/10
