Why watch this film?
A delirious satire on the immense power of egocentrism that has gained in our lives, to the point of unleashing truly chilling cases of narcissism. Sick of Myself is the story of Singe and Thomas, a competitive and unhealthy couple whose breaking point comes when he, an artist, starts gaining more attention. She, a modest cafe barista, feels jealous and resorts to extreme measures: take a forbidden medicine to purposely get sick and call attention. The situation spirals out of control to unimaginable levels that it's better not to say here to ruin the surprise. But suffice to say it is a portrait as funny as it is outrageous of a society that has put too much emphasis on the ego, and you will laugh as much as feel secondhand embarrassment. Read more in our complete review of Sick of Myself.

From the same director
DRIB
Amir Asgharnejad is an artist who released a series of videos in 2014 where he provokes strangers to the point of violence. An advertising agency in the US hired him, without knowing it was all fake, to do a campaign for a famous beverage. This is what this mockumentary recreates. Part documentary, part dramatization, part comedy, the movie generates laughter through absurdity. That's one of the reasons why the feature film divided critics and audiences.
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.
28 Days Later

Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs – and it’s absolutely impossible to contain.
The Jack in the Box Rises
