Note : I don't usually do films this new, or this mainstream, but this caught my eye. James Wan, known for Saw, The Conjuring, and Insidious, makes a weird hybrid of subgenres here, and it's best to go into it knowing as little as possible, but suffice to say it uses a lot of the visual language of giallo (black leather gloves, shiny pointy metal, colored lighting, close-ups on women's eyes wide with fear) in the service of a story that starts out as a supernatural thriller along the lines of The Eyes of Laura Mars, uses all of Wan's bag of tricks along the way, and ends up some really gnarly body horror that would be quite at home coming from Cronenberg or Henenlotter, mixed with at least one really epic action sequence that reminded me of V for Vendetta. It's pretty nuts.

It also looks extremely gorgeous, with beautiful cinematography and some breathtaking one-shot sequences, cool gore and good-looking CGI. It's up to you if you're willing to suspend disbelief enough to go along with it (and ignore a few plot holes), but if you do, it's a hell of a ride.

As is common with new films, this has great image quality from the start, and the very low level of grain and extremely sharp, yet smooth image quality made this quite easy to compress, so my bitrate is probably a bit more than it needed to be, but I figured the cinematography deserved it. No extras or anything, but a bunch of subtitle tracks.
