TRIBECA 2017 REVIEWS: Rainer Sarnet's NOVEMBER and Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson's THE ENDLESS offers up scares and WTF moments aplenty highlighting this year's Tribeca Midnight fare

For all of the heady titles a fancy fest like Tribeca boasts, there’s also a nice bit of midnight movie material floating around. Two standouts grabbed my attention, albeit for very different reasons. One is a bizarro bit of dark folklore from deep within the Baltic states. The other is an old-fashioned supernatural yarn set in rural America in the mold of The Twilight Zone. Both are great examples of how a discerning festival can find sublime treasures even in the over-trodden tropes of fantasy flicks.
