Why watch this film?
'Red Line Crossing' is a Japanese mystery thriller with some horror elements and a certainly controversial plot for several reasons. On the one hand, it deals with the issue of sexual harassment of young women by male authority figures (in this case, teachers and students). On the other hand, it also exposes the distances that community institutions are willing to go to protect their reputation, even if it means covering up a crime. A Japanese film that makes up for its austere aesthetics with camera work that highlights expressiveness, as well as a script in which appearances hide something more, with surprising twists that reveal very dark characters.

Mimicry Freaks
From Japanese filmmaker Shûgô Fujii ('Red Line Crossing'), 'Chô-gitai ningen' is a film that, in addition to fitting into the horror category, is a bit hard to classify. After all, its delirious narrative jumps between past and present, and borrows elements from Japanese folk stories, science fiction (sometimes reminiscent of 'The Hut of Terror') and gore. The violence in the film is extreme, so it is not suitable for weak stomachs. However, fans of Japanese horror and its propensity to show jets of blood, deaths and guts flying across the screen will feel at home. Film selected at the Brussels International Film Festival.
Mystery
A Deadly Invitation
Eccentric millionaire Olivia sends her half sister Agatha, and a group of old acquaintances, a mysterious invitation for a weekend on her yacht, where they will discover the true motive behind this invitation: the celebration of... a murder? Caught off-guard by an unexpected death, and with the help of a rookie policeman, Agatha will try to figure out if this is merely an accident or an elaborate plan for revenge.
Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon
A hard-working single mother meets a mysterious patient who escaped from a psychiatric hospital and has supernatural powers. Could this be something you can make a quick buck at? However, the duo's invention catches the attention of a policeman and their criminal path is soon threatened by the police.
A Haunting in Venice
Partially based on Agatha Christie's novel "The Hallowe'en Party," "A Haunting in Venice" is the third film in the Hercule Poirot detective series directed and starring Kenneth Branagh (from "Belfast"), following "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Death on the Nile." The story places us in Venice, where a retired and reclusive Poirot decides, skeptically and reluctantly, to attend a seance. However, when one of the attendees is murdered, he must return to detective work not only to uncover the murderer's identity but also to determine if something supernatural is at play. Due to this premise, "A Haunting in Venice" incorporates elements of the horror genre, elevating it beyond the typical whodunit and making it not only notably better than its two predecessors but also a surprising choice for the Halloween season.
