When The Invite premiered at Sundance earlier this year, it landed as one of the festival’s sharpest surprises: a sex comedy with a soul, powered by four actors all operating at full voltage. (I called it an A-grade “zesty swinger comedy that’s equally hilarious and therapeutic” in my review out of the fest.) What’s most...

Kane Parsons' 'Backrooms' is a disorienting nightmare that derives its horror as much from its kaleidoscopic, alien architecture as its unsettling meditation…
‘Obsession’ feels like a dark-magic witch’s brew of Together, Fede Álvarez’s 2013 Evil Dead, and Big: a horrifying black comedy that takes…
David Lowery's hypnotic 'Mother Mary' is a breakup song filtered through the lens of a ghost story, mounted with spectacular production elements…
