Demo account. Horror, body horror, and the films that make you look away. If it is comfortable it is not doing its job.
Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.
Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.

Rating key: ★★★★★ loved, ★★½ mixed.
Solid, and in places better than solid. The dread settles in early and never lifts. Open-ended without being vague.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
Digital Tribe Games does a lot right here. It never rushes, and it never needs to. It stays close to a few people and that is where its power is.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
Montraluz does a lot right here. It takes its time, and the patience pays off. It goes to bleak places and does not flinch.
Mostly about the craft.
A film about grief that becomes a film about inheritance and never lets you choose which. The dinner scene is horror without a single effect.
Mostly about the story.
The best practical effects ever put on film, and they are not the point. The point is the room, and who is looking at whom. Carpenter's masterpiece.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
Further out is a stronger lean than other Buds.
Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other Buds. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
One row a medium, half a star a bar; the dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.
One bar per star rating, one row per medium. Where the bars pile up is your habit; the dashed line is your average for that medium.
The two directions taste varies most along. Archetypes cluster; V. Volkov is ringed, and people they follow are outlined.
Every Bud, placed so that people with similar leans sit near each other. The two axes are the directions taste varies most along, found from all profiles. Neighbors are worth a look.
Above the line, kinder than the crowd; below it, harsher.
Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.
Needs ratings across at least two years, with three or more in each.
Year by year, on the four strongest dimensions.
One line per dimension, one point per year: the average character of what you loved that year. A line that climbs means your favorites moved toward that pole.
