Don't Breathe

Hoping to walk away with a massive fortune, a trio of thieves break into the house of a blind man who isn't as helpless as he seems.

There wasn't much left to ask for after seeing this movie. It was a truly unique thriller/horror with a suspense plot leaving you asking who the real bad guys are. Once the drama started to unfold the edge of your seat is where you will remain. Unique style shots for the blindness and creative cinematography around that theme really helped to sell the suspense.

Directors:

 Yarrow Cheney, Chris Renaud

Writers:

 Cinco Paul, Ken Daurio

Stars:

 Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart

This was a brilliantly laughable story and as an animator and animated film lover it was such a pleasant surprise to have so many laughs thrown into one movie. The range of characters and personalities really added something unique to the film.

David Brent: Life on the Road

A camera crew catches up with David Brent, the former star of the fictional British TV series The Office (2001), as he now fancies himself a rock star on the road.

Director:

 Ricky Gervais

Writer:

 Ricky Gervais

Stars:

 Ricky Gervais, Rob Jarvis, Abbie Murphy

This was a good mix of humour very in line with "The Office" and a story about the troubles of going for broke attempts to make it big in the music world.

Nerve

A high school senior finds herself immersed in an online game of truth or dare, where her every move starts to become manipulated by an anonymous community of "watchers."

Directors:

 Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman

Writers:

 Jeanne Ryan (novel), Jessica Sharzer (screenplay)

Stars:

 Emma Roberts, Dave Franco, Emily Meade

This was a very new idea for a thriller and the ethical questions raised were a real tell tale sign of the present online anonymous life many people like to hide behind. I really enjoyed the style and colours used to alter the look of the film combined with the HUD interface to include you in the game everyone is playing.
