Trailer
Why watch this film?
Although not always remembered when talking about fantasy cinema, André Øvredal is one of the most original names in genre films with titles in his resume such as 'The Troll Hunter', 'The Autopsy' and 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark'. In 'Torden', the filmmaker dives into the creative and unusual story of a boy (Nat Wolff, from 'Paper Towns') who discovers he has powers of gods from Norwegian mythology. A fun and creative movie, good to watch with the family and travel through the typical fantasy stories of André Øvredal.

Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark
Based on the book of the same name, 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' is a compilation of short horror stories for the young adult audience - and features production by Guillermo del Toro ('The Shape of Water', 'Pan's Labyrinth'). All this resulting in a chilling movie just right, full of plot twists and full of weirdness. In other words, it falls right into the taste of teenage horror fans.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter
An example of a movie with an interesting idea, but whose execution is limited by the rigorous boundaries of its own mythology. Clearly inspired by 'Alien: The Eighth Passenger', 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' narrates what its original title suggests: the last days of the crew of the Demeter ship (narrated in some pages of Bram Stoker's original novel), condemned to transport Dracula from Romania to London. Although these narrative limitations inhibit creativity, André Øvredal's (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) direction manages moments of truly brutal and disturbing violence and terror. We already know the fate, but this is one of those cases where the journey is what is worth the most.
Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
