Worthwhile 2018 Movies You May Have (Actually) Missed

The Guilty This Danish thriller takes place solely within a police dispatch room, as our protagonist Asger becomes emotionally involved in an emergency call from a woman who has been kidnapped by her ex-husband. We follow the story as it unfolds from Asger's point of view; always one step removed from the action as he tries desperately to co-ordinate the effort to locate the woman before it's too late, whilst also dealing with his own personal demons. The film rests entirely on the shoulders of lead actor Jakob Cedergren, who is in every single frame, but he rises to the challenge and delivers one of the standout performances of the year. This is thrilling, tense stuff, even if (or perhaps because) we never leave the call center. IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6742252 / Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abaoKA6rn5k

Here's my fifth annual movies you may have missed list, only slightly late. As always, the list isn't meant to be definitive of every underseen 2018 film and is obviously completely subjective. Many of the movies are very low budget which will turn some people off straight away, but this is intended more for those who have seen most major offerings this year and are looking for deeper cuts. With a couple of exceptions I've tried to focus on films with under 5k IMDb votes as a rough way to gauge popularity. As always I'm happy to discuss any films here and always love hearing from people who have checked out a film or two because of the list. I'm planning on writing on movies (including lists such as these) on a personal blog, so if you're interested in that or just want to chat please feel free to follow me on my Twitter account https://twitter.com/movieslistdude (name to be changed ASAP).

Bad Times at El Royale was one of my greatest surprises this year. Went in not knowing anything about the plot, I had no idea Drew Goddard was the director and writer. I had a great time!! Really entertaining movie!

I really liked the visuals and soundtrack of hot summer nights. The story is very nice the first hour and then it kinda loses it. But the visuals man. Really lovely,really good. If anybody knows other movies drenched in that neon sign flashy yet still warm feeling visuals please recommend them.

I loved reading Galveston, but I had absolutely no idea it had been adapted. Thanks for posting this.
