Housing Complex C (2022)
Unsatisfying Story
First off this is a Cartoon Network exclusive, which probably explains why it isnt available in Japanese with English subs. It's also a 4 episode miniseries, which in itself isnt really bad but should be a red flag that CN cheaped out on this. There's also some preachy nonsense about race relations that really clues you in that an idiot Westerner had this commissioned to serve as a vehicle for their precious MESSAGE.
Because of the brevity the final episode feels incredibly rushed, with the majority of it being two long, nonsensical diatribes of exposition that would have been better served spread out across the earlier episodes. Instead we get an Abrams-style mystery box that only opens in the unsatisfying finale. At least there's some pretty wild gore in the last few minutes. Not a recommend.
High Life (2018)
A Cure for Insomnia
I've generally been a fan of A24 films, but this is one of the worst I've ever seen. Insipid, boring, somehow pretentious while not saying bloody anything at all ... I have heard this is nowhere near the usual quality level of this director but just to be safe I'm avoiding everything she makes thanks to this drek. Only put this snoozefest on if you want to sleep, and even then the annoying ass baby's screaming will probably keep waking you up.
