Cold In July (2014)

A family man accidentally kills a thief caught in the act, and the event takes him down unexpected paths.

'Cold In July' is a thriller that does not follow the expected steps of the genre. It starts almost mundane and predictable, but things change in an extremel way long before the halfway point of the film. Well made and well carried by a trio of interestingly chosen actors, with Sam Shepard in one of the last captivating roles before leaving this world too early.

Director:  Jim Mickle   
With: Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard, Don Johnson, Vinessa Shaw

Rating: 8.4/10

Family Blood (2018)

A former drug addict tries to keep her family together, even after a supernatural kind of addict changes her fate.

'Family Blood' is a horror film, strongly mixed with drama, but sorta weak drama. Things take interesting turns from time to time, but the viewer's frustration is inevitable.

Regia:  Sonny Mallhi      
Cu: Vinessa Shaw, James Ransone, Colin Ford, Ajiona Alexus

Rating: 6/10
