Why watch this film?
"Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman" is certainly one of the most fascinating names for fans of so-called "true crime". After all, the American combined natural charm with extreme psychopathy, having committed crimes such as kidnapping, rape and serial murder. "Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman" is one of the films that seeks to analyze the criminal, executed by capital punishment in the electric chair in 1989, at the age of 42. However, unlike "Ted Bundy: The Irresistible Face of Evil", this film focuses its lenses on the FBI agents responsible for the investigations of the crimes - thus analyzing Ted Bundy's mind.

The Haunting of Sharon Tate
The brutal murder of actress Sharon Tate and several friends in her home in August 1969 is one of the most shocking events not only in Hollywood history, but in the 1960s in general. For decades, the event has inspired public interest and even curiosity about the actress and her then husband, filmmaker Roman Polanski ('Rosemary's Baby'); as well as members of the "Manson Family", manifested in numerous publications and even films (Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood' is one of the most popular examples). 'The Haunting of Sharon Tate' mixes real events with fiction, inspired by a controversial statement made by the actress in 1967, in which she mentioned a supposed dream of her own death. The result is this horror thriller starring Hilary Duff ('Gossip Girl'), which, although it does not violate genre conventions, offers a peculiar touch to one of the most disturbing murders of the twentieth century.
Aileen Wuornos: American Boogeywoman
It's hard to hear about female serial killers. But that's the case with Aileen Wuornos, who became famous in the United States in the 80s and 90s. In this movie from the 'American Boogeywoman' series, we learn more about where it all began, her youth and one of her first murders. A little-known story in Brazil and made to measure for true crime fans.
The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson
There are several productions that have already talked about the investigation and trial involving athlete O. J. Simpson. The most famous was the series 'American Crime Story', led by Ryan Murphy, and which plunged into the alleged crimes committed by the North American--not to mention the spectacle around the trial and the famous chase scene. However, now the movie 'The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson' turns the story around and does what should have been done a long time ago: gives voice to the murdered woman. Although Daniel Farrands' direction ('The Amityville Murders') is highly problematic, with lack of rhythm at times, it is interesting to change the angle on this story and understand a little more about what surrounds this figure. Interesting for those who like criminal stories and, especially, like to feed some conspiracy theories--as was also the case with 'The Curse of Sharon Tate', another movie by the same director.
Drama
Raspberries with Mustard
Meeri Ehrlich, 13 years old has three problems. First: She is in love - with the wrong person - and has butterflies in her tummy. Second: Her mother passed away and she misses her a lot. Third: her father - owner of a funeral home - is looking for a new partner. But Meeri has something that is only hers, something very special - she can fly.
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
