Why watch this film?
Although the "found footage" technique was nothing out of the ordinary (‘The Blair Witch Project’ had popularized it more than a decade before), director Josh Trank employed it for the superhero subgenre—which was just barely scraping the surface of its popularity—achieving one of his most original, immersive, and impactful entries yet. The script explores the effects power has when placed in the hands of both the marginalized and the compassionate, with great performances by then-young promises: Dane DeHaan, Michael B. Jordan, and Alex Russell.

Thriller
Sleeping Dogs
Roy Freeman, an ex-homicide detective with a fractured memory, is forced to revisit a case he can’t remember. As a man’s life hangs in the balance on death row, Freeman must piece together the brutal evidence from a decade-old murder investigation, uncovering a sinister web of buried secrets and betrayals linking to his past. With only instincts to trust, he faces a chilling truth - sometimes, it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie.
Disappear Completely
The great virtue of horror cinema, it has been said before, is its elasticity to allegorically address virtually any social issue, from criminal violence (Tigers Are Not Afraid) and patriarchal violence and economic marginality (We Are What We Are) to identity and femininity (Huesera: The Bone Woman), to mention just a few notable examples in Mexican Cinema. Disappear Completely (Desaparecer por completo) a horror thriller by Luis Javier Henaine (Ready to Mingle), joins that select and distinguished canon. The plot revolves around Santiago (Harold Torres), the best crime scene photographer in Mexico City, who has gradually become desensitized to all the violence he has witnessed. One day, after infiltrating a mysterious crime scene, he begins to lose, one by one and without logical explanation, his five senses. A powerful metaphor about how both the media and we as individuals relate to the everyday violence that surrounds us.
