Inspired by author Clive Barkers groundbreaking 1984 collection of short stories, this anthology film from writer/director Brannon Braga (FlashForward) features three mostly original stories (one is loosely based on the tale that kicked off Barkers collection, Book of Blood). All three tales weave in and out of each other, incorporating both human depravity and supernatural malignancy even if theyre not right out of Barkers text. Britt Robertson (Tomorrowland) and Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies) lead the cast.

Out in theaters on October 9 (UK only, US TBA)

This feature debut from Brit director Rose Glass is an absolute tour de force which ran the festival circuit in 2019 and was initially planned for release in the Spring. Morfydd Clark plays Maud, a pious young nurse who believes she talks directly to God and who thinks her mission is to save the soul of former dancer Amanda (Jennifer Elhe) who is dying. Body, mind and soul are in conflict in this haunting and terrifying elevated horror which boasts terrific performances and has picked up many plaudits on its long road to release. Weve seen it and we loved it, check out our five star review.

Like Scare Me, this is mostly another one-man-band type of movie, this time from writer, director and star Jim Cummings (Thunder Road). He plays John Marshall, a small-town sheriff and recovering alcoholic who faces a series of gruesome murders that keep occurring on the full moon and seem to be the work of a werewolf. But werewolves dont exist or do they? The film is also notable for being the final screen appearance of the late, legendary Robert Forster (Jackie Brown).
