Wolf Man
Starring: Julia Garner, Christopher Abbott ; Directed by: Leigh Whannell
From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man. Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma). But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.
What the Critics Say:
“There’s so much interior creaking and panting, and so little dialogue or plot, that if you closed your eyes, the projectionist could have swapped reels with a different genre of doggy style.”
Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times
“So it’s not an instant classic like The Invisible Man. I think we can all live with that. It’s still a scary and interesting movie about a wolf man, anchored by a haunting performance from Abbott, who understood the assignment and went for extra credit.”
“The filmmaker dismantles the lore and delivers a bold new take on the werewolf, smartly refusing to explain its rules, but it’s so wrapped up in its underserved characters and subtext that it forgets to be scary.”
Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting

I’m Still Here
Starring: Fernanda Torres, Fernanda Montenegro ; Directed by: Walter Salles
Eunice Paiva investigates her husband Rubens’ disappearance while maintaining family stability. Rubens is a former PTB deputy who has gone missing.
What the Critics Say:
“A peerless example of using exacting form to not simply inform and enhance content, but to create a profound link between movie and moviegoer.”
“Heartrending yet never maudlin, I’m Still Here is a humanist drama that, in shining a light on insidious injustice, becomes a balm to warn and warm its audiences in equal measure.”
“As the pictures and videos taken by the family echo each other one final time, it shows us the faces that matter most: those of Eunice and all who she loved.”

One Of Them Days
Starring: Keke Palmer, SZA, Lil Rel Howery, Katt Williams ; Directed by: Lawrence Lamont
Best friends and roommates Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) are about to have One of Them Days. When they discover Alyssa’s boyfriend has blown their rent money, the duo finds themselves going to extremes in a comical race against the clock to avoid eviction and keep their friendship intact.
What The Critics are Saying:
“A lot of stars from the pop-music world appear in films and they are fine. That’s not the case with SZA. With One of Them Days, she has declared, “I have two careers now.”
Jordan Hoffman, The Daily Beast
“The movie is a likably bent portrait of a community whose residents revel in their energized dysfunction, which is never so cartoonish that it can’t inspire an honest laugh.”
“Even though the physical shtick comedy sometimes plays like something out of a cartoon, Palmer and SZA make the friendship between Dreux and Alyssa the glue that holds the story together.”
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
