Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
The franchise of video games 'Resident Evil' hit the big screen in 2002 with 'Resident Evil: The Cursed Guest'. The feature film gave a wake-up call to the zombie genre, which was - pardon the pun - kind of dead. As a success, the saga of protagonist Alice (Milla Jovovich) gained another five films, which were not so successful, but fans followed the then "conclusion". Lo and behold, in 2021 we have a new story: 'Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City' - which is also based on the video game series. This time, the aura of horror movie is taken to another level with the direction of Johannes Roberts ('Deep Fear'). Yes, there are some thrills, but they even fit the tone of the feature film. The production is quite worthy, has intense action sequences and some funny moments, it's worth it if you're interested in the genre. And the cast, made up of Kaya Scodelario (from the 'Maze Runner' saga), Robbie Amell ('Code 8: Renegades'), Hannah John-Kamen ('Black Swan Rising'), delivers a great job.

From the same director
47 Meters Down
A claustrophobic horror, in which two sisters dive into the ocean in a cage to observe sharks - and end up trapped there, threatened by hungry animals. Part of the subgenre called "survival horror", proving that even after decades since the release of 'Jaws', these marine animals can still be very scary. The cast features Mandy Moore (the voice of Rapunzel in 'Tangled') and Claire Holt (from the series 'The Originals'). For fans of horror and suspense, it's certainly a breath-taking movie.
47 Meters Down: Uncaged
"47 Meters Down: Uncaged" is the sequel to "47 Meters Down". On the one hand, it can be repetitive, as it replicates many elements in its predecessor's formula: an entirely implausible story and characters making highly questionable decisions. However, director Johannes Roberts does this effectively, as he achieves a nightmare-like underwater atmosphere full of tension. If you like more logic in your horror films, this might not be for you. But, on the contrary, if you enjoy B-movie films and extreme shark-caused situations (in the vein of 'Jaws' or the 'Sharknado' movie series), this offering will leave you more than satisfied.
Action
Furies
An exclusive Vietnamese action and revenge thriller on Netflix that thematically will remind you of "Promising Young Woman", but in action and style it is more reminiscent of "John Wick" and "Kill Bill". Although it is not as refined (or interesting) as its references, "Furies" will leave genre fans satisfied. The plot is somewhat scant: three furious and violent female vigilantes join forces to take down a sinister mafia that has made them victims. There is more substance in the action sequences than in its premise, but if you're looking for something visually impactful and entertaining, you'll like it.
Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village
After his family is viciously murdered, a kind-hearted boy named Tanjiro Kamado resolves to become a Demon Slayer in hopes of turning his younger sister Nezuko back into a human. Together with his comrades, Zenitsu and Inosuke, along with one of the top-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro embarks on a mission within the Entertainment District, where they encounter the formidable, high-ranking demons, Daki and Gyutaro.
