The Matrix bumps uglies with The Butterfly Effect in a swift, intelligent and thought-provoking sci-fi thriller about a couple of pandemics, working a series of murders, who discover a new designer drug is responsible for the deaths – in the most unusual of ways. Coupled with great performances by Jamie Dornan and Anthony Mackie, writer/director Justin Benson summons up a largely original tale and drenches it with flair.
Wrong Turn
Not so much a remake, or even a reboot, as it is another interpretation of the 2003 horror ‘classic’. Tale being told here has a hidden community of mountain dwellers going for broke on some hikers who wander off the Appalachian Trail. While it welcomingly went in a different direction, this new take forgets to reinstate the thrills, fun gory kills and the ‘faces’ (see it, you’ll know what I’m referring to) of Rob Schmidt’s original.
