Thriller

God’s Country

In this quiet psychological thriller set in rural Montana, Thandiwe Newton plays a college professor standing her ground against an entire community.

A thriller that starts off feeling like a classic gothic horror update and unexpectedly ends as a post-feminist revenge flick, with Alice Krige giving a master class performance.

Servants

Enter an insular, foreboding world, set largely in a Czechoslovakian seminary in the early 1980s.

Only the Animals

Intricate and masterful, strange and heartbreaking, Only the Animals is a great new entry into the multilinear narrative canon. 

Fever Dream

Whether you end up satisfied or disappointed depends on if you follow the advise of one of the movie’s narrators: pay attention to details.

The award for the most intriguing one-off at the festival goes to this story of demonic possession and romance, mixed with devilishly dark satire.

The Card Counter

Restraint is the name of the game in Paul Schrader’s new film.

John and the Hole
