One group of sorority sisters decide to take matters into their own hands, and the result is a biting satire full of rage and twinkling Christmas lights. If that doesn’t spell out holiday cheer, what does? As winter break kicks off at the fictional Hawthorne University, female college students begin disappearing one by one after being stalked by a mysterious masked man. A tale of revenge steeped in violence, sorority sisters take on the patriarchy by killing demonic frat boys one at a time amongst snowmen and hot chocolate. The hunted become the hunter in the bloodsoaked, female-centric remake of Black Christmas directed by Sophia Takal. – Chase HutchinsonĬast: Imogen Poots, Aleyse Shannn, Lily Donoghue, Brittany O'Gracy, Caleb Eberhardt, Cary Elwes It is silly, graphic, dark, and eventually loving in a way that no other film out there can hold a candle to. If you’ve seen her previous film, the also outstanding Raw, then you may have some idea of what you’re getting into even as it goes in its own incredibly unique direction. It is a wholly original vision with all the cast completely committing to bringing Ducournau’s world to life. If this all sounds quite strange, it is actually even more so and that is also what makes it so glorious.
Following an intimate experience with a car and a series of brutal killings, she begins to form a bond with a man while posing as his son. What can be said is that it centers on Agathe Rousselle’s Alexia, a woman who was seriously injured in a car accident as a child and now has a titanium plate in her head.
– Brynna ArensĬast: Agathe Rousselle, Vincent Lindon, Garance MarillierĪn ultimately sweet story about family and identity that also wears the skin of body horror, Julia Ducournau’s Titane is a true one-of-a-kind experience that deserves to be experienced with as little information as possible. As Lucy spirals, the lines defining reality blur, building tension slowly until the shocking climax that will leave you questioning everything except for a mother’s intuition. Hindle and Adrian are conspiring against her, and will do whatever it takes to prove it – even if everyone around her dismisses her concerns as “pregnancy brain”. After this procedure, Lucy starts to feel uneasy and paranoid about the pregnancy. Hindle suggests a selective reduction where they keep either the female embryo or the twin male embryos. Unfortunately, in order to ensure that the pregnancy remains viable and Lucy’s health remains uncompromised, Dr. Hindle’s treatment works, and Lucy becomes pregnant with triplets. Hindle ( Pierce Brosnan), the leading fertility doctor in New York and Adrian’s former teacher. After two years of trying to get pregnant, Lucy and her husband Adrian ( Justin Theroux) make an appointment with Dr. Writers: John Lee, Alissa Nutting, Ilana GlazerĬast: Ilana Glazer, Justin Theroux, Pierce Brosnan, Sophia Bush, Gretchen Mol, Sabina Gadecki, Josh Hamilton, Zainab Jahįalse Positive is a feminist take on the terrors of pregnancy and motherhood that builds uneasiness through Lucy’s ( Ilana Glazer) perspective. Fresh is more unsettling than outright gory, in regard to the cannibalism, but it can still make even the strongest stomach turn a bit.
If you’re squeamish, I definitely don’t recommend eating while you watch this movie. And Sebastian Stan is somehow able to still make Steve desirable even after revealing his unhinged hobbies. Daisy Edgar-Jones plays the nuances of Noa so well that sometimes it’s hard to tell if she still has feelings for Steve or if she’s just pretending. Fresh is a unique take on the perils and horrors of modern dating that artfully balances empowerment and uneasiness.
Noa then has to figure out how to avoid being eaten herself, even if that means playing along with Steve’s continued affection for her. That is, until she discovers his secret side hustle – selling women’s body parts to other cannibals. He’s kind, charming, and just what she’s been looking for in a partner. Noa ( Daisy Edgar-Jones) meets Steve ( Sebastian Stan) just as she’s sworn off dating.
