Trailer
Why watch this film?
Gabriele Amorth was an Italian priest considered one of the greatest names in exorcism. He inspired the priest in 'The Exorcist' and, in real life, he witnessed, participated in, and performed a series of exorcisms: he said it was Satan who should have been afraid of him, not the other way around. His story comes to the screens, more faithfully than freely adapted, with the horror movie 'The Pope's Exorcist'. In the plot, Amorth is called to help an American family in Spain, who suffer with their youngest son possessed by a strong demon. With a sharp and unexpected humor, with Amorth adding small jokes throughout the story, the film manages to scare and entertain at the same time. The ending is too spectacular, reminiscent of what happens in the 'The Conjuring' franchise, but it works as a good way to feel scared and have fun in the darkness of the cinema (or at home).

Overlord
What happens when we mix war movie with horror and zombies? We don't have to imagine, all we have to do is watch 'Operation Overlord'. The movie's story begins during World War II on the eve of D-Day, when a group of paratroopers go to Nazi-occupied France and get involved in some very strange experiments. The result is something that will surely entertain B-movie fans - all of it signed by Bad Robot, from J.J. Abrams ('Star Wars: The Force Awakens'), who is also the producer.
Samaritan
Sylvester Stallone is one of the great names in action movies, but even though he has made features like 'The Judge' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2', there was still a superhero production that he could call his own. 'Samaritan', originally a production of MGM and which became exclusive to Prime Video after the studio was bought by Amazon, finally fills this gap in the star's career. Here Sly is a super-powerful garbage collector who begins to be pestered by the neighbor, the boy Sam (the great Javon "Wanna" Walton from 'Euphoria'), who believes that he is Samaritan - a hero from the past who was given as dead 25 years ago, when he faced his greatest enemy, Nemesis. From this, a plot is built that addresses reflections on the past, the paths that destiny offers and, above all, that life is not black and white, but full of shades of gray. All this, it is worth saying, without so much action. It is the dynamic of Stallone with the young man, and the latter's relationship with other characters from a suburban neighborhood, that give the story continuity. It's, badly comparing, that atmosphere of superhero movie from the second half of the 1990s: the most elaborate scenes are punctually arranged to enhance the plot. Speaking of which, the script deserves a highlight: some situations, especially in the first act, are extremely convenient - which helps to have a feature film of only (phew!) 101 minutes. On the other hand, the last act delivers a good (and interesting) twist. Although it does not occupy this place of grandiose epic from Marvel Studios, 'Samaritan' manages to be more than a forgettable entertainment - and that, nowadays, is already a huge advantage.
Son of a Gun
"Son of a Gun" is a gritty and stylish crime thriller directed by Julius Avery. The movie follows JR, a teenage criminal who is locked up for a minor crime and forced to adapt to the harsh realities of prison life. Brendan Lynch, one of Australia's most notorious criminals, offers JR protection, but it comes with a price. The film offers plenty of genre thrills and a refreshing change of pace for Ewan McGregor, who plays the role of Brendan Lynch. The movie's smart and well-crafted storyline keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The film's cast, including Brenton Thwaites, Alicia Vikander, and Matt Nable, deliver strong performances that add depth to the characters. "Son of a Gun" is a must-watch for fans of crime thrillers and anyone looking for an entertaining and well-made movie.
Horror
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.
Tin & Tina
Feature film debut from Spanish director Rubin Stein, who had already made a short film with the same title and theme. Tin & Tina is a horror thriller with macabre touches of comedy, which begins with the tragic miscarriage suffered by Lola (Milena Smit, Parallel Mothers) on her wedding day. Having lost her faith, she tries to regain it by attending a convent with her husband (Jaime Lorente, Elite), where they end up adopting two charming twins. However, the ultra-religious upbringing of the children turns into dangerous games that lead the couple into a destructive spiral. Tin & Tina is a film that, oscillating between horror and satire, highlights the contradictions of ideas such as sin and goodness, in the simplistic and fanatical interpretations of religion.
Maniac
"Maniac" is a horror film directed by Franck Khalfoun, starring Elijah Wood as a mannequin shop owner with deadly, suppressed desires. The movie is smartly crafted, with a psychological twist that sets it apart from your average slasher flick. However, the excessive gore can sometimes undermine the film's intelligence. The story follows Frank, who helps a young artist with her upcoming exhibition, but as he does so, his dark desires come to the surface. Wood's performance is chilling, and the use of first-person camera shots adds to the film's unnerving atmosphere. The vintage mannequins and the creepy mannequin shop provide a perfect backdrop for the story's disturbing events. Overall, "Maniac" is a well-made horror film that will keep you on the edge of your seat, but be prepared for some intense and graphic violence.
88
"88", directed by April Mullen, is a gripping action and mystery-thriller that takes the audience on a violent journey. The film follows a young woman who wakes up in a roadside diner with no memory of how she got there or where she is. Split between two timelines, she embarks on a quest to find the person responsible for her lover's death. The film is a rollercoaster ride of intense action and suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The cast, led by Katharine Isabelle, delivers powerful performances that bring the characters to life. The direction by April Mullen is masterful, creating a tense and thrilling atmosphere that keeps the audience engaged throughout. The cinematography and editing are also noteworthy, adding to the overall impact of the film. The use of split-screen techniques to show the two timelines is particularly effective. The score by David S. Hamilton and Benoit Grey complements the action on screen perfectly. Overall, "88" is a must-watch for fans of action and mystery-thrillers. It is a well-crafted film that delivers on all fronts, with a strong cast, direction, and technical elements. Highly recommended.
