2016 was a year for the underdog, a sentiment reflected in several films I enjoyed. Korean horror, independent cinema and problematic action films were my personal highlights in a period dominated by endless comic book movies, unwanted remakes and shameless sequels. No change from any other year then.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (Michael Bay)
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (André Øvredal)
The Belko Experiment (Greg McLean)
Don't Breathe (Fede Álvarez)
The Girl with All the Gifts (Colm McCarthy)
Hotel Coolgardie (Pete Gleeson)
Hush (Mike Flanagan)
London Has Fallen (Babak Najafi)
The Neon Demon (Nicolas Winding Refn)
The Nice Guys (Shane Black)
The Shallows (Jaume Collet-Serra)
Terrifier (Damien Leone)
Train to Busan (Yeon Sang-ho)
The Wailing (Na Hong-jin)
I remember being mostly positive about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but I've not cared for anything Star Wars related after the deluge of awful films and TV shows ever since.
