What’s wild is thatPeter Jackson’sBad Tasteisn’t even one of the most tasteless movies ever made. It’s pretty damn tasteless, but even he topped it for tastelessness with the likes ofMeet the FeeblesandDead Alive… and those don’t push things quite as far as the following movies. How is that possible, you might ask? Well, are you anArctic Monkey, becausedo you wanna know? Seriously, maybe you don’t.

It’s therefore safe to say that a good many musicals keep things G or perhaps PG-rated, but it’s inaccurate to say the genre as a whole is filled with nothing but squeaky-clean films....

In 1978,John CarpenterreleasedHalloween, a relatively simple yet influential horror movie that transpires as a deranged sadist, who was detained as a six-year-old when he murdered his own sister, breaks free from his incarceration and embarks on a horrific killing spree in the Illinois town of Haddonfield.

The ability to take a beloved, iconic role and reinvent it is a hallmark of a great performance. Actors have been doing it for centuries with classic stage parts like Macbeth, Oedipus and Hedda Gabler, but it’s even more impressive in the age of on-screen adaptations when a definitive performance can burn into the minds of audiences for decades.

Chris Hemsworthis mighty well known for his action chops, especially when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he’s also been accumulating titles that show off what he’s capable of in other genres, too. There are comedies like 2015’sVacationand 2016’sGhostbusterswhere he’s a major scene-stealer in hugely talented ensembles, and there’s also my personal favorite non-MCU Hemsworth film,Bad Times at the El Royalewhere he’s downright riveting cult leader Billy Lee. However, I’m still tempted to call his latest movie,Spiderhead, the film that shows off how wide his range really is more than any....
