Speculation is the congenital twin of imagination. In the word of Andy McCann:

Speculative fiction is stimulation for the soul, whether reading it or writing it. Spec Fic can take you out of your daily routine and reawaken a sense of mystery and purpose and wider meaning in the world.

This series visits select works of speculative fiction in cinema – classic and contemporary, American and international, mainstream and indie – for assessment and analysis. If you are a fan of any/all of the three genres – science fiction, horror, and mystery/thriller – you will likely find this series of review essays about the movies falling in one or more of these genres.

Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Important Note: If you haven't seen a movie discussed here, it's best to watch it before reading the post. The analysis may reveal some elements (plot details) that would pass for spoilers.
