Crawl (2019)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
'Crawl' uses the elements of "monster movies", a subgenre of horror that pits humans against beasts, to become one of the surprises of 2019. Perhaps Alexandre Aja hasn't repeated the brutality that characterized him in films like 'High Tension', but this movie definitely has a bit of that impact. The feature film is simple and was designed for quick consumption - and that is its point in favor, because its short plans and its accelerated rhythm make it exciting and fun, despite walking the thin line between horror and ridiculousness.

The 9th Life of Louis Drax
Jamie Dornan, the star of 'Fifty Shades of Grey', plays a psychiatrist who takes on a very special case: Louis Drax has survived seven accidents and is now in a coma in the hospital after falling off a cliff. His father is suspected of trying to kill the boy. But is this the truth?
Oxygen
French filmmaker Alexandre Aja gained notoriety in cinema by bringing tense stories to the big screen, regardless of the production level, such as 'Killer Predators' and 'High Tension'. In 'Oxygène', the filmmaker continues with his trademark in an even more tense and claustrophobic setting. In this Netflix exclusive production, Aja follows the desperation of Elizabeth (Mélanie Laurent), who wakes up in a cryogenic chamber at the wrong time. She does not know who she is, how she got there, or how to solve the drop in oxygen levels. With an exciting start, 'Oxygène' draws attention to the controlled environment, almost restricted throughout the 100 minutes to the space of the cryogenic chamber, playing with the sensations of the viewer. Too bad that, in the second half, first-time screenwriter Christie LeBlanc forgets that "less is more" and bets on a series of twists that only tire the viewer. But it's still a good movie, with tension at its peak and Laurent's (‘Respire’) and Mathieu Amalric's surefire performance as the voice of an artificial intelligence.
Thriller
Fanny Lye Deliver'd
An intense period drama with few resources but a lot of power behind its performances. Set in 1657, Fanny Lye Deliver'd follows a woman (Maxine Peake, from Black Mirror and The Theory of Everything) living in a repressed Puritan marriage. But the arrival of a young couple pursued by a ruthless Sheriff (Charles Dance, from Game of Thrones) changes her life forever and opens up new pathways of possibilities, albeit at a great personal cost. This is a unique production that blends drama and some terror with big ideas about religion and female repression, with plenty of intrigue and flashes of stunning violence that won't leave you indifferent.
La extorsión
A solid Argentine genre film proposal. La extorsión follows a commercial pilot who holds some secrets, which intelligence services start to use against him to extort him and force him to smuggle a suitcase from Argentina to Spain. Naturally, the tension starts to get to him and things get out of hand, in an intense plot with some logic flaws. However, the lead performance by Guillermo Francella (El clan) is, as always, impeccable. If you enjoy thrillers, you're sure to love it.
Death's Roulette
A surprising mix made in Mexico of escape room and horror thriller genres, similar to Saw: juego macabro. In Death's Roulette, we follow a group of seven strangers who awaken trapped in an unknown house. To escape, they have to make an impossible decision: one of them must die, somebody has to agree to it and cannot offer themselves. With time running out to save their lives, the group soon discovers that a dark secret from the past binds them together. Even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel and is a bit predictable, there are interesting twists in the narrative, highlighted by a great cast including names like Maribel Verdú, Adriana Paz and Fernando Becerril. A solid directorial debut for Colombian actor Manolo Cardona, best known for roles in productions such as Narcos and Rubirosa.
