Hold Back the Dawn (1941)

This documentary moves chronologically through Black representation in horror films, revealing the genre's connections to Black history.

A direct fall into the white savior narrative

Leveraging the cockiness of many of his interview subjects, Theroux created an exposing documentary that shows just how scary these sections of the internet can be.

“To be universal, you have to get specific”: while the film does not attempt to provoke discussions about queerness or race, those watching closely may find something resonant in Sorrentino’s love letter to the Naples of his youth.

Written and directed by Eva Victor, who also plays Agnes, the main character, Sorry, Baby is slow and artsy, but extremely effective. It shows how the trauma developed after a sexual assault has a ripple effect and loudly echoes in the victim and her life for years after.

I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.
