Film-Forward

Thriller

The Beasts

A recently transplanted French couple’s life in a beautiful Galician village turns into a nightmare.

Sympathy for the Devil

This crime thriller offers the kind of performance by Nicholas Cage you can never tear your eyes away from, even as he does things no regular human being—movie villains included—would do.

Chile ’76

An intimate, suspenseful film that has the feel of the political paranoia thrillers of the 1970s.

How to Blow Up a Pipeline

Activists head to West Texas, where they assemble to blow up a pipeline in the name of environmental justice.

Inside

In this episodic survivalist tale, Willem Dafoe plays an art thief who gets stuck in a sealed-off condominium after a heist goes awry.

La Civil

A gripping drama that dabbles in ambiguity more than thrills.

Knock at the Cabin

What might be the most shocking and refreshing thing about this movie, particularly for its director, is how straightforward it feels.

Baby Ruby

A newborn crashes into its mother’s well-constructed world, and the new parent goes from sleep-deprived and exhausted to something darker.

The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic

The film nimbly becomes a thriller without shedding its established rhythm. Before you know it, the tone has turned uncomfortably ominous.
