Amazon Prime Video has an array of great movies, from recent hits like Top Gun: Maverick to classics like Shrek and Good Will Hunting. While these are films that are sure to please a demanding audience, the streaming service also has a wide range of options for viewers. Quirky movies, for instance, are perfect entertainment for those looking for something absurd to watch.

Some of the weirdest movies on Amazon, like Burning and The Vast of Night, are thought-provoking and clever, leaving the audience with an odd but entertaining plot. On the other hand, dark comedies like Come To Daddy and Rubber are so strange it's hard for the audience to look away (even if they want to). These Amazon films are the best editions to the weird collection of strange but enticing storylines.

This is the Pure Movies review of Troll Hunter (Trolljegeren), directed by André Øvredal and starring Otto Jespersen, Robert Stoltenberg, Knut Nærum and Glenn Erland Tosterud. Written by Richard Parkin for Pure Movies. This year’s boldness award goes to Troll Hunter. The simple fact that a Norwegian film has managed to grab so much attention is justification enough for such an accolade, but when you consider its concept you could almost stand up and give the air a nice congratulatory round of applause. The film has barely hit our screens and word has got out that Chris Columbus has bagged the rights to make yet another Hollywood adaptation à la The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, or Let Me In.

Jane Eyre (PG)

(Cary Fukunaga, 2010, UK/Us) Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Bell

It's customary with literary chestnuts like this to ask whether or not we really need another version. But would you rather have a remake of, say, Eat Pray Love? The power of the source material pulses anew here, thanks to some bold tweaks to the structure, elegantly restrained visuals, and, above all, two handsome, capable leads. And the mix between gothic gloom and slow-burning passion is just about right. So yes, we did need it.

Friends With Benefits (15)

(Will Gluck, 2011, Us) Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Patricia Clarkson. 109 mins

A non-romcom that almost creams its pants trying to be contemporary (iPads, apps, flashmobs?). The vaunted sex-only pairing is an excuse to critique the old sugar-coated Hollywood formula, but witty dialogue aside, you know it's going to resort to it in the end.

A Lonely Place To Die (15)

All governments of the world have secrets.

Such secrets will vary strongly from the fabulously dull to the fantastically strange. How strange? Well, it might be a fancy new organic-based spaceship that's powered on human brains, an ancient arcane device that can be used to summon the great hoary lord of the infernal abyss, or it just may be something like, I don't know, maybe…

Troooooooooooooll!

A small group of students venture out into Western Norway, intent on creating a student film documentary on reported occurrences of bear poaching in the region.

Title: The Troll Hunter Director: Andre Ovredal Starring: Otto Jespersen, Hans Morten Hansen, Tomas Alf Larsen, Johanna Morck, Glenn Erland Tosterud, Robert Stoltenberg, Knut Naerum Simply put, the 90 minute documentary styled “The Troll Hunter,” is easily the best in the genre since “The Blair Witch Project” popularized this concept. In some instances, it may actually be better than the innovative horror flick that has inspired this genre of fake documentaries; including the current “Paranormal Activity” franchise. By cutting out the all the pondering and ancillary footage, that really doesn’t have any entertainment value for the viewer – something that “Paranormal Activity” failed to do – this presentation requires one’s...
