Blink Twice (dir. Zoë Kravitz)
The place You Can Watch: MGM+
A tech billionaire meets a waitress at his fundraising gala and invitations her to hitch him and his associates on his personal island. I used to be not ready for a way good this film is. I used to be additionally not anticipating Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut to be one in all my favourite thrillers this yr. Blink Twice has an entire vibe and a rhythm unmatched by anything I’ve seen this yr. All of us thought we had this psychological thriller discovered however quickly found we severely underestimated it. Whereas there are a ton of acquainted faces on this movie, Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum ought to undoubtedly be thought-about for awards. Ackie is our lead, and Tatum manages to maintain up along with her whereas giving us the most effective efficiency of his profession thus far. I additionally hope that whoever is in charge for altering the title from Pussy Island stubs their huge toe 5 occasions a day.
Blink Twice arrives on MGM+ on November 21.
The Piano Lesson (dir. Malcolm Washington)
The place You Can Watch: Netflix
Two estranged siblings combating over the heirloom household piano awaken bitter emotions, outdated resentments, and a ghost. This adaptation of an August Wilson play of the identical identify is Malcolm Washington’s characteristic directorial debut. He’s directing his brother John David Washington as their dad, Denzel Washington, serves as producer. After seeing the completed consequence on the London Movie Competition, I would like this household to work collectively extra typically. The Piano Lesson captures the texture of stay theatre, the place so many different movies earlier than it have failed. The film additionally options excellent performances from Danielle Deadwyler, Ray Fisher, Michael Potts, and Samuel L. Jackson. For some complicated purpose, a number of web sites checklist it as a musical. So, I can not look ahead to extra folks to find it’s really a horror drama. It’s additionally PG-13 should you’re in search of high quality style titles to look at with the youth this vacation season.
The Piano Lesson arrives on Netflix on November 22.
Rita (dir. Jayro Bustamante)

A lady who ran away from her abusive father is put into an establishment for troubled women. Nevertheless, the exploited women imprisoned within the heart are plotting an rebellion in a determined bid to inform the world their story. This tragic darkish fantasy is impressed by a Guatemalan orphanage hearth in 2017, which took the lives of 41 women. That is probably among the finest Shudder Originals we’ve seen this yr. There are some beautiful visuals of the magical teams of women, and the lead, Giuliana Santa Cruz, provides a heartbreaking efficiency. Nevertheless, this harrowing story is past upsetting and can depart you a shell of the individual you have been. Anytime I assumed issues couldn’t worsen, we discovered a brand new element concerning the monsters in control of the ladies. This rage-inducing pattern continued proper via to the tragic finish of the film.

Rumours (dir. Evan Johnson, Galen Johnson, Man Maddin)
The place You Can Watch: VOD
Leaders of seven rich democracies meet to draft a press release on a world disaster. Nevertheless, they find yourself misplaced within the woods and going through a number of risks. At first look, this appears like one other political satire with sprinkles of darkish comedy. After a re-evaluation, you need to acknowledge all the zombie exercise and unexplainable phenomena. I by no means anticipated that I’d be writing about Cate Blanchett and Charles Dance being in one of many silliest style motion pictures of the yr. But, right here I’m. Rumours was a pleasing shock, and I’m glad this new title is lastly arriving on video on demand this week. I extremely suggest it in case you are not within the place for one thing heavy or logical. That is pure chaos geared toward getting giggles from its viewers, and it achieves that.
Rumours arrives on VOD on November 12.
Your Monster (dir. Caroline Lindy)
The place You Can Watch: VOD
A soft-spoken actress in remission strikes into her childhood house as her life falls aside. Nevertheless, she quickly discovers she is just not alone when she bumps into an enthralling monster in her closet. We love Melissa Barrera‘s horror motion pictures and have been completely happy to see her again so quickly after Abigail. Whereas her character’s chemistry with Monster (Tommy Dewey) is plain, their relationship is merely a car for Laura (Barrera) to search out her voice. Laura’s arc additionally allowed Barrera to showcase her vary and remind us that she will actually do all of it. Your Monster surprisingly turned out to be one of many few motion pictures about female rage this yr that actually understood the project. As somebody who hates romantic comedies, I’m shocked at how a lot enjoyable this offended little film was. I personally hope it results in extra motion pictures the place ladies study to stay up for themselves and are inspired to faucet into their rage.
Your Monster arrives on VOD on November 12.
