Trick or Treat tells the story of a high school outcast named Eddie Weinbauer, who is obsessed with heavy metal music and his favorite rockstar, Sammi Curr. When Sammi dies in a hotel fire, Eddie discovers a mysterious unreleased record that Sammi made before his death. As Eddie plays the record backwards, he unwittingly unleashes the vengeful spirit of Sammi, who returns from the dead to wreak havoc on the town and its inhabitants.
Starman (1984). An alien takes the form of a young Wisconsin widow's husband and makes her drive him to his departure point in Arizona. Distrustful government agents, along with a more ambivalent scientist, give pursuit in hopes of intercepting them.
Aliens have long been used in sci-fi to inspire a sense of wonder in the audience, but I can't remember the last time I saw a film that captured the wonder of its characters so organically. This is John Carpenter at his best and Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen are just magic together. Really loved this one. 8/10.
The premise reminds me of, but predates, Infernal Affairs. Infernal Affairs made it more personable though.
Deep Cover is a 1992 American crime thriller film directed by Bill Duke from a screenplay by Henry Bean and Michael Tolkin. The film stars Laurence Fishburne, Jeff Goldblum, and Charles Martin Smith.
I want to talk about this guy who I just had to google to find out what his name is which is actually a crime because he's been in every movie I've ever watched since 1969.
