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 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.
“Teenage Badass”
“Teenage Badass” is a movie with heart, soul, and a little bit of rock and roll.
“Summerland”
Sticks to a tried-and-true format to tell its narrative about finding yourself and discovering the place where you belong in the world.
