Horror

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.

MaXXXine

A throwback to the long-revered era of exaggerated 1980s horror.

The Devil’s Bath

The raw and distressing film depicts how the desire to die found in religion becomes a brutal and sinister way of getting relief.
