BEST #5) The Trip (2021); Director: Tommy Wirkola; Norway

On the precipice of their rocky marriage, director Lars and actress Lisa venture out to Lars’s father’s lakehouse for a quiet weekend away. Their peace will be interrupted by each other, however, as they both discover they have plans to kill the other. While they squabble, they eventually break way to an even more disturbing twist on their weekend getaway that neither could have predicted. Boisterous horror comedy with plenty of twists to keep the most cynical viewer engaged, The Trip is a Norwegian delight of a movie. Director Tommy Wirkola’s iconic sense of humor and taste for action seamlessly blends with the initially unassuming story. Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie have impeccable chemistry as the bickering couple. Their desperation, irritation, and eventual care for each other shine through the twisty script. Horror fans have plenty of memorable gore set pieces and chase scenes to keep them satisfied while those seeking more laugh out loud comedy will find themselves equally satiated. Quite possibly the most unexpectedly fun film of the year, this Netflix acquisition is one hell of a trip that you must go on as soon as possible.

Overall Score? 7/10

BEST #4) Run Sweetheart Run (2022); Director: Shana Feste; United States
