The Whisperer in Darkness (2011)



Though mostly dialog driven, but this is a beautifully directed, very fine Lovecraft-adaptation by the folks from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, who also produced The Call of Cthulhu (2005). This time with sound, but still in black and white; and the finale comes with an action-packed surprise significantly altered from the original source but pretty entertaining.

I'm sure Ferox already checked this out, so recommending it to all other Lovecraft fans of HDC.

Crime d'amour aka Love Crime (2010)



A 'plotted murder-mystery' resulting from a Corporate catfight!

Special Forces (2011)



A French War-action flick about a French journalist (Diane Kruger) in Afghanistan who kidnapped by the Taliban & then rescued by the French Special Force.
The way the crazy Taliban fighters are portrayed in the film...they were like simply douchebags! (I'm not sure, may be they are!) They had no war-strategy or the strategy for the heavy gun fights. Instead firing from behind any cover, they just stood up, ran & expose themselves to enemy fire and dropping like flies all over.

Pretty cliched & mediocre effort.
