Film-Forward

Thriller

Heretic

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

Sleep

A newlywed and father-to-be acts out while sleepwalking and does not remember his actions when he awakens—and these actions are pretty terrifying.

Red Rooms

A thriller that impresses with its eerie quiet, strong acting, and its focus on the darkest aspects of the internet.

Coup!

Caddyshack by way of the Coen brothers.

War Game

A documentary that takes as its premise that more insurrections are inevitable, and therefore must be anticipated.

Birder

An erotic, queer serial killer movie in the tradition Alain Guiraudie’s Stranger by the Lake and William Friedkin’s Cruising.

Concrete Utopia

A massive earthquake tears through Seoul, yet somehow, one apartment complex manages to survive intact.

La Syndicaliste

An efficient but otherwise less than compelling addition to the whistleblower canon, starring Isabelle Huppert.

The Strangler

An intriguing, elegantly-crafted psychological portrait that is a hidden gem in the horror genre.
