Chris Alexander (Delirium editor, Shock till you Drop editor and filmmaker)

1. Mother! – Darren Aronofsky’s blistering, allegorical mindwarp of a movie wants to harm its audience and it did and it does. A brilliant piece of art that somehow made it into the multiplex. Not for all tastes. But I worshiped it.

2. Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri – Martin McDonagh’s multi-character small-town Gothic is a vessel to deliver one of Frances McDormand’s most startling performances. She’s aided by rock-solid support from Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell and Peter Dinklage among others. What a film. Never does what you expect it to and God bless McDonagh for that.

3. Get Out – Jordan Peele’s first genre film is every inch a masterpiece. Perhaps the most paranoid mainstream horror movie I’ve ever seen and a meticulously constructed balance of dread and satire, with beautiful performances, layered characters and a secret primal scream of social rage. This one will last the ages.

4. The Beguilled – Sophia Coppola is one of the greatest director’s alive and her revisit of the Don Siegel/ Clint Eastwood civil war horror/drama is superb. All dread and told from the female point of view, which adds a darker, richer tone to the narrative. A beautiful movie to watch too and both Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman are mesmerizing.

5. The Killing of a Sacred Deer – Kidman and Farrell hook up again on screen for this, one of the strangest and most upsetting abstract horror movies I have ever seen. I cannot shake this one. I likely never will. Dying to see it again. And again.
