Up from the Depths is nothing more than a poor
Jaws cash-in, however some of the characters made up for the fishy odour in respect to how kooky/entertaining they were.
Atom Age Vampire was interesting, although it's basically a mish-mash of
Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde meets
Eyes without a Face; there's not a vampire in sight either!
Blood and Roses was the high-light and is an interesting little gothic curio with a few surreal flourishes. It gets a little bogged down in the latter part but is something I'd certainly recommend - especially to your good self as I know you have a penchant for the gothic.
The Hands of Orlac was decent, mainly thanks to a solid story, however is not as good as the original silent masterpiece. Worth a look though.
Jurassic World was pretty dumb but certainly an entertaining return to the franchise - easily better than the second & third entries despite some clunkiness and poor character-development / dialogue. The best blockbuster I've seen in a while at any rate.
