NOTE to NON-MEMBERS: Interested in joining the SHERDOG MOVIE CLUB? Shoot me a PM for more info.

Here's a quick list of all movies watched by the SMC. Or if you prefer, here's a more detailed examination.


We're running into a string of newbie weeks, and first up to the plate is @Strange King.


Here are our candidates!



The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

Director: André Øvredal

Stars: Brian Cox, Emile Hirsch, Ophelia Lovibond

Premise: A father and son, both coroners, are pulled into a complex mystery while attempting to identify the body of a young woman, who was apparently harboring dark secrets.

Why @Strange King picked it: It is a solid film that has the same director as Troll Hunter. I have become a very solid fan of his and this seems like a film that was not as easily accessible the public as other films.

Trailer:




Troll Hunter (2010)

Director: André Øvredal

Stars: Otto Jespersen, Robert Stoltenberg, Knut Nærum

Premise: A group of students investigates a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.

Why @Strange King picked it: Same reason as Jane Doe. The director has show versatility helming two completely different movies while nailing them both.

Trailer:





Antibirth (2016)

Director: Danny Perez

Stars: Natasha Lyonne, Chloë Sevigny, Meg Tilly

Premise: In a desolate community full of drug-addled Marines and rumors of kidnapping, a wild-eyed stoner named Lou wakes up after a wild night of partying with symptoms of a strange illness and recurring visions as she struggles to get a grip on reality while stories of conspiracy spread.

Why @Strange King picked it: It's not a very common film but is very dark and has a very unique twist on an old tale. Very strange and funny.

Trailer:





The Void (2017)

Director: Jeremy Gillespie, Steven Kostanski

Stars: Aaron Poole, Kenneth Welsh, Daniel Fathers

Premise: Shortly after delivering a patient to an understaffed hospital, a police officer experiences strange and violent occurrences seemingly linked to a group of mysterious hooded figures.

Why @Strange King picked it: It's a horror film that is not as good as the The Thing or Hellraiser but that has elements of these dark films that filled my lust for horror.

I've seen 2 of them, I voted for one of the ones I haven't seen.
 
Seen two of these -- almost wanted to vote for one I've seen though just to do an epic-lenght breakdown of all it's allusions and influences.
 
Two films by André Øvredal makes me think that Strange King just wants to hear me make fun of Norwegians...
 
I've only seen one of these. My choice was strictly all because of a certain actor.
 
I've been busy and missed the vote, but I'll go with Troll Hunter.
 
Troll Hunter and the Last Crusade
