Peeping Tom 1960
Incredibly perceptive in its take on voyeurism, our ongoing obsession with recording everything, repressed sexuality, and violence against women. But it was so chilly and stiff I couldn’t get into it or care much about the characters, as freaky and perverse as they were.

Ex Machina 2015
I really admire Alex Garland for making this his directorial debut. It's small in scale, but ambitious in its intensity and focus, and in how dark and negative it is about men, especially in relation to women.
I see this movie as an allegory for the internet and its treatment of women. As Adam Savage said in his wonderful story for The Moth, if the internet was a person, that person would have a serious problem with women.

Ready or Not 2019
Hot damn, that was gratifying.
Part Rosemary’s Baby, part Drag Me to Hell, part Don't Breathe, and a little bit of Get Out, too. Hilarious pastiche and just a ton of fun. Samara Weaving, I love you.
