Wander
'Wander' is a suspense film starring the acclaimed Tommy Lee Jones ('The Fugitive' and 'No Country for Old Men') and Aaron Eckhart ('Thank You for Smoking' and 'The Dark Knight'). The story revolves around Arthur Bretnik (Eckhart), a mentally unstable investigator who, after being called to investigate a suspicious death in the town of Wander, becomes convinced that the case is linked to the same conspiracy that killed his daughter. It's one of those films that intrigues you right away and keeps you following the unfolding of the mystery alongside the protagonist, as well as having incredible performances from Eckhart and the rest of the cast. It's a nail-biting thriller, full of tension and impressive twists.
Horror
The Nightman
The Nightman a dramatic thriller that explores the dangerous boundary between love and darkness. The story follows a young pregnant woman who begins to question the perfection of her boyfriend upon discovering his possible involvement in mysterious disappearances and murders, linked to his sleepwalking behavior. With praised performances and precise direction, the film delves into complex themes of relationships and personal dilemmas, keeping the audience engaged in its dark suspense.
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
