Annihilator 

Rip Tide is a coming-of-age film that teaches viewers about finding yourself and reconnecting with surroundings.

The Lighthouse is patient and hypnotic, pulling us in with its mysterious atmosphere and characters. The film’s slow pace proves to be monumentally effective, showcasing the tedious nature that comes with isolation and poor two-way communication.

The Sandman features a plethora of LGBTQ+ characters and is openly expressive about it!

The Djinn is about childhood traumas and lifestyle changes. It tells the story of Dylan (Ezra Dewey), a mute boy who blames himself for his mom’s death. He also condemns himself for being speech-impaired, and he thinks that if he did not have that condition, everything could had been different.

This is ambitious horror filmmaking, and in a lot of ways, I fully admire its ambitions. For me, the film’s sloppiness defines its overall quality.

The tale of two friends spans three films and gives wonderful representation for young girls everywhere.
