Moon(2009)
One of the adjectives applied to Duncan Jones' inaugural motion picture Moon is "surprising". Not only for its central storyline, but also because it is an increasingly rare creature these days: a genuine science-fiction movie. Not an action movie, a Western, or a horror movie that just happens to take place in space - this is science fiction, and as such, is a wondrous thing to behold.

Fear[s] of the Dark (2007)
This was a pleasant surprise, gleaned from the trailers preceding Sauna, which I reviewed last month. Fear[s] of the Dark is a French animation anthology, calling upon five International graphic artists to create tales of horror. The art on display here takes chiaroscuro to a stark extreme - the color palette is composed of black, whites and grays, with only the very occasional muted earth tone or shocking (literal) splash of red. Like the nighttime vistas the stories exploit, color is at a premium, and when it you finally see it, it may not be a relief.

District 9: Two-Disc Edition (2009)
Given its canny ad campaign, it’s no surprise that District 9 was a fair hit in its late Summer 2009 release. Some really excellent digital effects, a couple of close-ups of insectoid aliens, and no real reveals on the story – it had intrigue written all over it. The viewer wanted to see the movie, just to find out what was going on. Fortunately for the continued success of the movie, audiences seemed to like what was going on.

Don't Open Till Christmas (1984)
You know what a really great present would be? A good Christmas-themed horror film. The idea of a killer dressed as Santa Claus (or Santa himself as a killer) has potential, except that most of the films that feature such a killer shy from letting Santa prey on his natural enemy: children. And politicians are always complaining about how Hollywood is morally bankrupt!
