The Green Inferno (2015) - Eli Roth's latest does posses a certain shock value, and it is so gruesomely graphic, it leaves nothing to imagination, but on the other hand, this cannibal splatter is everything but frightening, as it offers nothing but extreme gore. (5.50/10)

Concussion (2015) - A bit too by-the-numbers, therefore predictable, yet compelling nonetheless, this is a superbly-acted and beautifully-filmed based-on-a-real-story drama that is on one hand genuinely inspirational, but on the other somehow disturbing. (7.25/10)
The Big Short (2015) - It i not easy to follow, the intentionally sloppy zoom-ins and outs are distracting, and some of the economical terms are very hard to get, but this is nevertheless a cleverly put together financial drama, as well as a true eye-opener. (7.25/10)

Out of that list I've only seen Goosebumps, which I thought was an original way to do the story.
I thought so too. Very enjoyable!
If I were you, i Would give "The Walk" a shot - it's very thrilling, especially if you're scared of heights. :D
