The Apostle

Upgrade
Dir- Leigh Whannell
"Upgrade" is an intense action thriller that shows the perils that technology can offer despite the promises of making our lives better. In many respects, the movie reminded me of the original Robocop movie of the '80s with all the action, violence and some of the dark humor thrown in to lighten the mood.
Hereditary
Dir- Ari Aster
Hereditary is a slow burn kind of film that presents an uncomfortable situation for the family and throws in some shocking scenes and unsettling moments of terror. The young daughter Charlie (Milly Shapiro) stands out with her odd habits such as her tongue clicking as well as the creative but strange toys she makes.
