Stars: Emily Durchholz, Leland Morrow, Devin McBride, Kevin Roach, Kara Gray | Written by Jakob Bilinski, Peter Matsoukas | Directed by Jakob Bilinski
Compression is the latest film from Jakob Bilinski who directed, edited, shot and co-wrote the film with Peter Matsoukas. It’s certainly grabbed some attention, debuting a couple of weeks ago at the HorrorHound Weekend, where it picked up eleven nominations and won in seven of those categories, Judges Choice, Best Feature Film, Best Directing, Best Lead Performance, Best Supporting Performance, Best Writing, and Best Editing.
Now, as regular readers will know, I’m a bit cynical when it comes to awards from festivals and conventions. But HorrorHound is a well-known event with a track record, not some unknown festival that’s there to collect entry fees and sell trophies. All of which is a long-winded way of saying I was more than a little interested when I was...

Jonathan Glazer's sci-fi thriller "Under The Skin" is the kind of film you call "indescribable." But because this is a written article and not a video essay, I will attempt to do the impossible. We don't know much about the main character in "Under The Skin." We believe she is an alien called Laura. As the film progresses, her eerie detachment morphs into something else entirely.
Presumably, Laura (Scarlett Johansson) has been sent to earth to harvest human specimens for unknown (but terrifying) purposes. Laura arrives in Northern Scotland sporting a perfectly unassuming British accent, luring unsuspecting men into her van and eventually taking them to a derelict house where they thoughtlessly follow her to their deaths. A threatening man on a motorcycle (played by real-life motorcycle racer Jeremy McWilliams) follows her to make sure she gets the job done.
