Sick of Myself
A delirious satire on the immense power of egocentrism that has gained in our lives, to the point of unleashing truly chilling cases of narcissism. Sick of Myself is the story of Singe and Thomas, a competitive and unhealthy couple whose breaking point comes when he, an artist, starts gaining more attention. She, a modest cafe barista, feels jealous and resorts to extreme measures: take a forbidden medicine to purposely get sick and call attention. The situation spirals out of control to unimaginable levels that it's better not to say here to ruin the surprise. But suffice to say it is a portrait as funny as it is outrageous of a society that has put too much emphasis on the ego, and you will laugh as much as feel secondhand embarrassment. Read more in our complete review of Sick of Myself.
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw is a contemporary take on folk horror about a beautiful young woman and her domineering mother, occultists living in secret among a devoutly Protestant village, and who are accused of witchcraft when an unknown plague begins to ravage the inhabitants. Despite some narrative meandering, the performances and genuinely chilling atmosphere make this a modestly budgeted but highly enjoyable horror for genre fans.
The Boogeyman
Directed by Rob Savage (of the excellent Beware Who You Call) The Boogeyman is another movie that uses a monster to talk about a family in mourning. Will Harper (Chris Messina) is father to two girls, the young Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) and the independent Sadie (Sophie Thatcher). And they are not in the best of times: their mother has just died and the family's days have become gloomy. That's where the monster, who is nothing more than a folkloric creature personifying fear, comes in. It's in the darkness, in the closet of the room, in the damp corner of the wall. The first 20 to 25 minutes of The Boogeyman are desperate: Savage shows mastery of the camera and the atmosphere, giving fear at every turn, every light that goes out, every moment that Sawyer decides to take a look under the bed. Then it ends up turning into a kind of generic Babadook, without much life. But even so, it can be a fun horror movie that, when seen with friends, can generate scares and laughter.
The Black Demon
Oilman Paul Sturges idyllic family vacation turns into a nightmare when they encounter a ferocious megalodon shark that will stop at nothing to protect its territory. Stranded and under constant attack, Paul and his family must somehow find a way to get his family back to shore alive before it strikes again in this epic battle between humans and nature.
