I watched some films this week. Typical.
Fiend Without a Face (1958)
Go Ask Alice (1973)
The Employer (2013)
One Battle After Another (2025)
Outland (1981)
Spawn of the Slithis (1978)
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Seraphim Falls (2006)
Ballerina (2025)
Suburbia (1983)
"Employer" is "Exam" (2009) but less subtle
"One Battle" was fun, but I could not recognize "Vineland" in it
"Outland": Cops in Spaaace!
"Slithis" and "Creature" for sea monster theme
"Suburbia" is SoCal punk scene
