Whatever doesn't kill you...
A well known American geneticist takes a position in a German research lab. There he reconnects with an old friend and meets a new enemy. A very intriguing, well written, and beautifully shot film. I've not seen a story with this type of storyline that wasn't extremely unrealistic or cheesy or both. Michael Eklund (who I loved in Xavier Gens' The Divide) does a superior job of carrying the lead role. He is supported by fantastic cast.
Errors of the Human Body makes few mistakes and gets 4 out of 5 Poblanos!

Frontiere(s)
Get out while you still can
With looting and rioting happening in Paris, a group of hoodlums flees to the countryside. They find themselves besieged by a family of neo-nazis. This film was actually not as bad as it sounds, or at least not as bad as it could have been. Think Hostel, but in French. Having seen The Divide also by Xavier Gens, I had an inkling of what kind of film this would be. Some of the visuals were very striking. Gens managed to create a fair amount of tension. The story is decent, but quite predictable. Worth a watch if you like horror flicks.
