Why watch this film?
A comedy horror unlike any other, 'In Fabric' is one of those provocative and inventive films that make us think, "Where did they come up with this idea?" Here, director and screenwriter Peter Strickland (of 'Katalin Varga') tells the story of a cursed dress. That's right. And just like Annabelle leaves a trail of chaos in her wake, this piece of clothing also leaves its mark on the lives of those who wear it. There are no big moments here, it seems that the best of the movie stayed in the premise. However, Strickland's breath of creativity, as well as the daringness of the proposal, help make the film cause an interesting mix of fear, laughter and apprehension. It's worth the adventure.

From the same director
Berberian Sound Studio
A sound engineer is hired to work in the studio that processes and enhances the audio of the most sordid horror films - and now he must mix the sound of the last feature film of a master of horror. From there, he begins a dive into the most chilling side of Italian cinema, in a true tribute orchestrated by director Peter Strickland ('The Duke of Burgundy'). Special mention for the great performance of Toby Jones, the villain Dr. Arnim Zola from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recommended for horror and suspense fans, or for those who are passionate about the backstage of the seventh art and sound engineering.
Cold Meridian
'Cold Meridian' initially delivers a promising short film about a rehearsal for a performance, shot at the Budapest Dance Academy in a grainy black and white Super-8 film. Peter Strickland has prepared an experience with this production, which manages to prod our brains with its sound effects. 'Cold Meridian' can be considered an experimental artistic performance, as the idea is precisely to play with the viewer's voyeurism - it's even worth watching this movie with headphones. Without further ado, just surrender to this production, it's only six minutes and they are precious.
Horror
The Nightman
The Nightman a dramatic thriller that explores the dangerous boundary between love and darkness. The story follows a young pregnant woman who begins to question the perfection of her boyfriend upon discovering his possible involvement in mysterious disappearances and murders, linked to his sleepwalking behavior. With praised performances and precise direction, the film delves into complex themes of relationships and personal dilemmas, keeping the audience engaged in its dark suspense.
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
