Jason and Ann wake to find every normal route outside useless, the doors will not open, the windows cannot be broken, and the strange rain falling across…
Evil Dead Burn does not need a sprawling map of locations to make its world frightening. Like the best entries in Sam Raimi’s horror franchise, Sébastien Vaniček’s film understands the value of trapping people somewhere they cannot easily escape. The sixth Evil Dead movie centers on Alice (Souheila Yacoub), who joins the troubled Price family…

His controlled social circle begins…
Solo Mio makes a clever bargain with its audience. Matt Taylor’s romantic catastrophe is invented, but the Italy surrounding him is very real. The churches, cafe tables, public gardens and Tuscan countryside were not recreated on a Los Angeles soundstage. Kevin James and the Kinnane brothers took the production to Rome, then allowed the city…
One Night Only takes the familiar “two strangers, one impossible night” rom-com setup and gives it a mischievous dystopian rule.
