The Amazing Mr. X is a film noir thriller-horror that is in the public domain however gets a proper transfer versus poorly sourced releases in the past. The film stars Turhan Bey, Lynn Bari and Cathy O’Donnell.
The Suicide Squad might not hit the levels of something like Guardians of the Galaxy (still an MCU favorite of mine), but it does take the material in the right direction when compared with Ayer’s 2016 original with a better story and characterization.

Survive the Game is another severely lackluster direct-to-video movie co-starring Bruce Willis who looks as uncommitted as ever. There’s really nothing redeeming for this and should absolutely be skipped.

Legend is an odd film compared with others directed by Ridley Scott and while the characters are thin and underdeveloped, this is almost compensated with great production design and the make-up and prosthetics are all well done.
One Dark Night isn’t a great movie but as supernatural-horror goes, which I’m generally not a big fan of, it’s fairly entertaining and features some impressive make-up effects and a solid finale.
Night of the Animated Dead is an ill-conceived feature that just takes the classic and turns it into animated form with an additional scene from what I can remember. The animation itself isn’t the best but not awful while the voice acting was alright. That said, this is one to skip.
