10 Original Movies To Keep On Your Radar For The Rest Of 2017

7. Mother!

Mother Jennifer Lawrence
Paramount

The last time Jennifer Lawrence appeared in a horror movie, we got House At The End Of The Street, and it was... ok. With Mother! she's once again back in spooky territory, but this time, the project shows a lot more promise.

Most of that promise is because of director Darren Aronofsky, who thrives in this kind of psychological, mind-bending territory - Black Swan is proof of that.

His latest follows Lawrence and Javier Bardem, a happy couple whose peaceful existence is disrupted by the arrival of strangers, but if the director's resume is anything to go by, the plot will not be as straightforward as that sounds.

Expect twists, turns, and scares; not of the 'sudden loud noise and quick movement' variety, but the type that builds slowly, suspensefully, before releasing like an arrow from a bow.

Mother! is out in theatres quite soon, so we don't have to wait long to see if the hype was warranted.

He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
