the burning (1967)

aka Island Of The Burning Damned. Night Of The Big Heat.
"This heat is stifling."
The island of Fara is baking in a heatwave, which is disturbing as the rest of Britain sits in the depths of winter snow. No one seems to know what is the cause, apart from a visting scientist, who theorises that it is aliens...
Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing guest star in this low budget thriller.

Behemoth the seamonster (1959)

aka The Giant Behemoth.
"Something has happened here that isn't in the book."
Radioactive waste dumped at sea brings back a dinosaur with a desire to visit London, but the would be tourist isn't welcome, probably because he seems intent on wrecking the place.
Good b-movie creature feature, as long as you revel in its low budget.

high-rise (2015)

"How's the high life?"
Dr Laing (Tom Hiddleston) moves into an apartment in a tower block, and starts to become involved in the lives of those around him, including the architect who lives in the penthouse, who explains he is using the building as a social experiment.
Surreal, if disjointed, investigation into the class system, invoking thoughts of Bunuel, Kubrick and Cronenberg.
