A model becomes obsessed with a high-profile murder trial. Pascal Plante’s thriller, Red Rooms, starts its U.S. theatrical release on Friday, September 6th in New York at the IFC Center. The official trailer was just released for it, check it out down below. Red Rooms had its World Premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic. It went on to be the opening film of last year’s edition of Fantasia, back on home soil for Plante. Our own Martin caught the film when it premiered. You will find his full review here, but here is an excerpt. Red Rooms seamlessly weaves together elements from a spectrum of genres, including home invasion, but Plante intriguingly never ventures into the eponymous…

Real estate woes, job security anxiety and social inequality, all neatly packed into a metaphorical dystopia. No doubt about it, The Tenants is definitely a Korean film. Yet by providing a novel twist on its elements and staying true to its allegorical narrative, this brooding black-and-white parable stands out as a compelling sophomore feature from director Yoon Eun-gyeong. Following its premiere late last year at the Singapore International Film Festival, Yoon’s film circles its way back for its local premiere in Bucheon, where its clear but concerning message should hit the hardest. Shin-dong is a young man just like many others in Korea. He has worked tooth and nail to land himself a job at a company, but he’s still barely making ends meet while…

While all of our attention has been focused on another Disney company property coming out next week the sci-fi horror flick of the Summer, which one of its stars said, “I really do believe that there are specific sequences in this film that will scar some kids that sneak into the movie for life,”, has been sneaking up on us. Fede Alvarez’s Alien Romulus. Due in cinemas nationwide on August 16th the final trailer came out today. Check it out down below. Let me say this, if they’re going so far as to show us more of what happens to Navarro (Alieen Wu) in this final trailer and that isn’t the scarring part, what else does Alvarez have in store for us? Advance…

Some eight years ago, I had the privilege of experiencing Mike Flanagan’s Hush in a movie theater during a film festival. And then it went away to a streaming service. Very soon, you will be able to experience Hush, which feels like a forgotten classic, when it debuts on digital for the first time ever, courtesy of Shout! Studios. I hope that you are able to turn up the volume to 11, though I’m afraid that your home may be shaken off its foundation. That was my experience when I saw the movie — played thunderously loud — at an Alamo Drafthouse cinema in Austin, Texas, where it was premiering during the South By Southwest film festival in 2016. By that point, we’d all heard…
No one likes being 14. That age just sucks. Unless you happen to be the lead character on the Disney show, or arguably the actor portraying that lead character, real life conflicts come at you from every angle and never […]
