- His House. The best types of horror films are more than just a trickbox of scares. Some are character studies, others explore deeper themes or grapple complex social issues, and a few manage to move you in more ways than just a raising of the pulse.
- Ammonite. On a windswept cliff in 19th century England, two unfulfilled women chance to meet. One is Mary Anning (Kate Winslet), a paleontologist whose gender keeps her out of the higher echelons of her field, even as male scientists enthuse over her findings; the other is Charlotte Murchinson (Saoirse Ronan), a wealthy woman unhappily married to one of those scientists, who's put in Mary's care by her husband.
- Host. There's a reason everyone's been talking about Host. Aside from the film's juicy 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, director Rob Savage's idea (which all started with a scary viral tweet) is a brilliantly timely one: a horror film shot entirely over a video call, sort of like a Zoom séance version of The Blair Witch Project.
- Rocks. Suffragette director Sarah Gavron’s coming-of-age film Rocks was one of the most talked-about films of the year in the UK, and for good reason.
