We all have that one movie (or several) that we just want people to watch. It’s so good that you don’t want to ruin it by trying to describe it. Or it has such glorious twists and turns that you don’t want to ruin it with a simplified version of a retelling. Below is the Kali Krew’s movies that we just want you to freaking watch.
Lilyn Says Watch It!
The Perfection
“Because it never quite goes where you think it’s going to go and it’s mostly amazing”
GracieKat Says Watch It!
Frailty
“This was a random grab and oh my Cthulhu it was amazing. So low-key but damn. And Matthew McConaughey has never been so creepy or so hot”
Nico Says Watch It!
Us
“Her voice!!!!”
Tracy Says Watch It!
The Bad Batch
“Bizarre post-apocalyptic movie (with cannibals!) that I’m quite sure others will hate. But I loved it!”
Olly Says Watch It!
Videodrome
“Videodrome, despite being over 35 years old, it’s still very relevant. It has great practical effects and it will fuck you up”
Sam Says Watch It!
Ex Machina
“It’s just so low-key unsettling and unexpected. Great acting, great premise, great execution.”
Sammy Says Watch It!
The Cell
“For its storyline but also the visuals and cinematography AND. THE. COSTUMES.”
JB Rockwell Says Watch It!
Prospect
“It’s very stripped back and simple–I love that. Also, some of the best and most varied spacesuit/envirosuit design I’ve ever seen”
Mike J. Says Watch It!
The Big Lebowski
Tiny Tentacle Says Watch It!
The Orphanage
“It was the first movie I watched that sucker punched me in the feels and it was mean!”
So, how about you guys? What movies have you watched and just blew your mind so much that you wanted to show everyone saying, “Just freaking watch it!” Tell us about them below!
GracieKat was the first co-host of Sci-Fi & Scary, Lilyn’s partner-in-crime, and sub-head of the Kali Krew. She reviews horror books, movies, and games for the site. She also does a weekly Focus on the Frightful feature, and is the site list-maker. She is also in control of the Sci-Fi & Scary podcast which will relaunch soon.
The Orphanage is still one of the meanest movies I’ve ever seen to date. Damn, I love it. Great list! 😀
Oh, it’s a heart ripper for sure. I don’t cry at movies very often but…damn. Thanks for reading!
Orphan is my all time favourite movie. It’s the best. I also loved the uninvited.
The Uninvited that’s the remake of A Tale of Two Sisters?
Yes
I enjoyed most of these too. Great list. I need to look at Frailty and Prospect.
I definitely would like to check out Prospect, too! Frailty is definitely worth the watch!
