the cabinet of caligari (1962)

"We are none of us masters of our own fate."
Jane Lindstorm (Glynis Johns), a lone girl on vacation, suffers a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. She eventually finds a large house and appeals for help. After recieving a charming welcome from Caligari (Dan O'Herlihy) Jane soon becomes uneasy about here host.
A homage to the silent classic, rather than a remake, this Robert Bloch scripted horror feels more like a Twilight Zone episode than a film, in this lesser psychological terror.

robot overlords (2014)

"I'm a boy... and I can prove it."
Robots take over the planet, with everyone given an implant to keep them under curfew. That is until a group of kids led by Sean (Callan McAuliff) stumble on a way to disable the tag, and then set off to find Sean's dad.
A rather simplistic plot that works OK as a family adventure film.
