Why watch this film?
A mix of coming of age with 'Twin Peaks'? This might be a good description for 'Knives and Skin'. It's a love it or hate it kind of case. Director Jennifer Reeder brings here a teenage story with strong influences from heady 1980s and 1990s movies, with strong David Lynch inspirations. The soundtrack is essential to dive into the narrative - which is a bit confusing, having disconnected and random sequences. Still, it's something that catches you despite the delirious and surreal events, it's a production worth watching. You must surrender to the plot to be able to enjoy it, as it's a nearly two-hour dedication. It's not a movie for everyone, especially if you're not used to David Lynch's cinema.

Mystery
A Haunting in Venice
Partially based on Agatha Christie's novel "The Hallowe'en Party," "A Haunting in Venice" is the third film in the Hercule Poirot detective series directed and starring Kenneth Branagh (from "Belfast"), following "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Death on the Nile." The story places us in Venice, where a retired and reclusive Poirot decides, skeptically and reluctantly, to attend a seance. However, when one of the attendees is murdered, he must return to detective work not only to uncover the murderer's identity but also to determine if something supernatural is at play. Due to this premise, "A Haunting in Venice" incorporates elements of the horror genre, elevating it beyond the typical whodunit and making it not only notably better than its two predecessors but also a surprising choice for the Halloween season.
They Cloned Tyrone
"A con artist, a pimp, and a prostitute uncover a government conspiracy". What could sound like the start of a joke is the premise of 'They Cloned Tyrone', a mystery thriller with elements of comedy and commentary on the contemporary political, social, and racial climate of the United States in a spirit similar to the brilliant "Sorry To Bother You". It doesn't always reach those heights and the script is uneven, but the fabulous chemistry between John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), Jamie Foxx (Django Unchained), and Teyonah Parris (If Beale Street Could Talk) make this an extremely entertaining ride.
The Matchmaker
When an office worker becomes powerfully infatuated with his beautiful intern, he follows her to a desert resort overrun with bizarre forces.
Murder Mystery 2
Without a doubt, the romantic comedy and mystery 'Mystery in the Mediterranean', starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, is one of the most popular on Netflix, despite its very regular plot that relies completely on the charisma and chemistry of its protagonists. In its sequel, Netflix and the producers of its stars, Happy Madison and Echo Films, opt to repeat the formula, changing some things here and there. Now, Nick (Sandler) and Audrey (Aniston) try to create their own private detective agency, just at the right moment for the kidnapping of one of their friends, who will have to investigate in several countries. There are no surprises here: you'll like it if you liked the first movie, or if you're a fan of Adam Sandler in general.
