Looking for underrated sci-fi or thriller films?
If you're into obscure thrillers with eerie concepts and overlooked performances, this review is for you. Artifacts (2005) is a low-budget Belgian mystery about people being hunted by their own doubles—and while it doesn’t fully stick the landing, it’s packed with intriguing ideas and cult-movie charm. In this episode, I break down the film’s premise, performances, and flaws, and let you know if it’s worth digging up on Tubi or DVD.
