A small-scale thriller with meaning, the film continues the welcome trend of women telling stories about women in a genre that could be called ‘female-empowerment horror.’

“How to Deter a Robber”
A goofy campfire-style tale turned dark thriller that’s a little too timid to pack a real punch.
“The Glorias”
A proud, strong, inspirational film that should ignite a spark by energizing women to continue the push for equal opportunities.
“Sno Babies”
Plays more like a scared straight “Afterschool Special” than a deeply meaningful drama, but the increasingly macabre scenarios will kick your morbid curiosity into overdrive.
“The Boy Behind the Door”
A tense, effective, and unrelenting thriller. Even if it’s not one of the best of the genre, you have to respect the achievement in clever filmmaking.
“The Stylist”
The idea of crafting a narrative around a killer hairstylist is clever, as is choosing to make the lead character a sympathetic psychopath.
