Getting An Actual Injury Is More Pleasant Than Watching Wounds

Even the most cell phone adverse people on the planet would never be able to imagine the horrors the cell phone at the heart of Wounds is capable of. That phone is discovered by bartender Will (Arnie Hammer) after a skirmish at the tavern he works at. At first, he simply expects to drop it off with the police or the bar's owner so that its owner can get it back pronto. However, an unusual text sent to the phone leads Will to dig around in the device and discover a series of gruesome photos. He's also being followed around by a black car that's intent on making sure he doesn't speak to the authorities on this matter. Oh no! Will's whole life is being turned upside down by malevolent forces! Worse, he's stuck in the movie Wounds!

The Peanut Butter Falcon Is A Pleasant And Charming Affair

Zak (Zach Gottsagen) is an adult man with Down Syndrome who has spent the last two years looking at the outside world from a distance. State authorities have kept Zak locked up in a nursing home with people considerably older than him and with no chance to go out there and pursue his dream of becoming a pro-wrestler. One night, he manages to break out of the nursing home and begins to make the trek to a wrestling camp run by his hero, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). Along the way, he runs into Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), a man on the run from a pair of vicious redneck hooligans (one of which is played by John Hawkes). Tyler didn't plan to have company on his voyage to Florida but since the wrestling school is on his way, he and Zak team up for an impromptu road trip, with both the redneck hooligans and nursing home employee Eleanor (Dakota Johnson) hot on their trail. 

Dance To The Gruesome & Thoughtful Rhythm of Suspiria

For his sixth narrative feature film directorial effort, Italian director Luca Guadagnino decides to go the horror remake angle by doing a new take on the seminal horror film Suspiria. Horror remakes don't have the best track record in the world but what Guadagnino has mad in his mad scientist lab is a totally off-the-wall creation that bears more in common stylistically with an Andrei Tarkovsky movie than one of those horror remakes Platinum Dunes was churning out in the mid-2000's. It's gory, it's slowly paced, it's an improvement over the original Suspiria, it's gonna alienate a lot of people who come to it expecting a routine horror film and it's also pretty darn exceptional.

Bad Times At The El Royale Is A Mostly Good Time

After six years of waiting since his directorial debut project The Cabin in the Woods turned out to be such a phenomenal blast, writer/director Drew Goddard finally returns behind the camera with Bad Times at the El Royale. Interestingly, despite having a larger cast and a bigger budget to work with, Goddard (who also wrote the scripts for Cloverfield and The Martian) goes smaller-in-scale than he did on Cabin in the Woods. No threats of zombie rednecks or possible worldwide consequences for the actions of our lead characters here, instead, Goddard does a Rashomon-esque take on a quasi-Hateful Eight set-up wherein we follow the differing perspectives of a group of strangers staying in one location over the course of a solitary night.
