The Final Wish (2019)
Why watch this film?
Since the 'Supernatural' franchise, Lin Shaye seems to have found her niche in horror. In 'The Final Wish' it's no different: the actress offers her talent in an interesting story about the power of grief to blur the boundaries of reality. The story is led by Michael Welch, who has become a familiar face for his participation in 'Twilight', and tells the journey of a young man who discovers a strange object from his deceased father that grants wishes. What starts as a gift soon turns into a terrible nightmare - with scares and terrifying figures. The movie may be a bit slower than conventional horror, but makes up for it in an interesting script with psychological horror vibes.

Hickok
The western genre has been forgotten by the big studios, the last feature films are from Quentin Tarantino, such as 'The Hateful Eight' and 'Django'. If you're a fan of this type of movie you will like 'Hickok', which tells the story of Wild Bill Hickok, a legend of the North American Far West. The protagonist of the film is Luke Hemsworth, brother of Chris Hemsworth ('Thor'), who was known for his role in the 'Westworld' series, also with a western atmosphere. It's a very accurate movie in terms of history, despite presenting several problems in the script and in the performances.
