They Came Like Swallows (2021)

Shudder makes an incredibly atmospheric docuseries about the darker side of Hollywood mysteries.

Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills. The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.

This thrilling film about feminine rage and male hostility is an incredible depiction of the fragility of the male ego.

One Christmas Eve, after a sudden snowstorm, a group of teenagers will discover how their lives will change forever.

Episode 3, entitled “Now in Color,” brings us to the 1970s — a decade full of vibrancy, color, and total mayhem.
