Horror

Cactus Pears, The Lost Chapters, The Virgin of the Quarry Lake | New Directors/New Films 2025

Among the festival’s rich selection, three must-see highlights stand out, all still seeking distribution in the United States.

Nosferatu

Director Robert Eggers breathes new life into a century-old tale, crafting a visually stunning, emotionally resonant reinterpretation.

Theater of Thought

Werner Herzog’s newest effort tackles another vast subject: the human brain.

Obsessed with Light

Is Loie Fuller enjoying a new turn in the spotlight from beyond the grave?

Heretic

In an against-type performance, Hugh Grant is foreboding and unsettling as a disturbing villain.

The Substance

The well-worn Sunset Boulevard yarn of a Hollywood’s star’s fading relevancy gets a garish, unsubtle, and searing revamp.

Cuckoo

A riff on a familiar horror setting: the creepy house/facility in the middle of nowhere.

Oddity

A gothic tale of ghosts, curses, and the otherworld.

Longlegs

Nicolas Cage has never before created a monster this unforgettable.
