Movie of the Week
Ex Machina
This one’s intrigued me for awhile. Alex Garland’s delivered something akin to Her meets The Island of Dr. Moreau. And my word, that cast. Oscar Isaac! Domnhall Gleeson! A robotic Alicia Vikander! This is one I don’t want to read anything about because it should be an unsettling experience.

The Babadook
The most critically acclaimed horror movie of 2014, this Australian import is more interested in the real-life terror of being a single mother than actual jump scares, and it’s all the more chilling for it.
