Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, and Olivia Colman lead this absurd period piece from ‘The Lobster’ director Yorgos Lanthimos.

‘The Cabin in the Woods’ director Drew Goddard’s latest is a disappointing mystery thriller.

Jonah Hill will be the first to tell you (repeatedly) that he’s spent the past 15 years in one of the best possible film schools, working with some of the most beloved writers and directors in America: Martin Scorsese, Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and Bennett Miller, to name a handful. It’s not surprising, then, that Hill’s directorial debut is handsomely-made and well-edited, or that it authentically captures a moment in time — 1995 to be exact — with a specificity that isn’t precious about its own nostalgia. Unfortunately, Mid90s isn’t anything you haven’t already seen numerous times before.

Luca Guadagnino‘s reincarnation of Dario Argento’s horror classic is a stunner with three (!) phenomenal performances from Tilda Swinton.

Let’s get this out of the way up front: Overlord is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a Cloverfield movie. There are monsters — both literal and figurative — and a sci-fi horror plot with a vague whiff of Lovecraft, but the latest film from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot is entirely its own beast, for better or worse. Unfortunately in this case it’s the latter, as what was clearly intended to be a timely thriller fails to deliver on nearly every level.

Gareth Evans captivated audiences in 2011 with The Raid, a pulse-pounding action-thriller that showcased his fascination with Indonesian martial arts as well as an exceptional knack for editing and fight choreography. For his fifth feature, Apostle, the Welsh filmmaker ditches many of the elements with which his name has become synonymous in favor of a grim fable about a religious cult in the early 20th century. It’s solid enough, though you’d probably never suspect Evans directed it if his name wasn’t in the credits.

Believe it or not, the ‘Hostel’ filmmaker made a horror movie for kids, swapping his gross-out shocks for a PG haunted house movie.

The classic ’80s horror franchise with a new director, new stars, and a new take on the Predator.

Barry Jenkins’ ‘Moonlight’ follow-up is a lush and vibrant love story adapted from James Baldwin.

David Lowery’s romantic, winsome heist movie is a perfect send-ff to Robert Redford, starring in his final role.
