From the same director
Cold Skin
With an immersive visual and impeccable cinematography, 'Cold Skin' takes us to a lighthouse in a remote island, which is infested with terrifying creatures. Xavier Gens's competent direction ('Hitman: Assassin 47') and Daniel Aranyó's cinematography ('7 Days in Havana') deserve credit for creating a dark atmosphere conducive to terror. In its social criticism subtext, it adds elements of classics like George A. Romero's 'Night of the Living Dead' and the recent 'The Shape of Water'.
Budapest
If you like crazy comedies (in the style of 'Hangover'), this French movie will please you. The story of 'Crazy Trips: Budapest' is about two friends who are bored of their mundane lives and repetitive jobs, deciding to do something more fun. But in this case, there are unimaginable consequences, ranging from big parties to even tanks.
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.
