Years ago, we excitedly discussed the upcoming remake of Salem’s Lot. It was unclear whether it was going to hit theaters or go straight to streaming, but we could not wait. The release date came and went but the movie never came out. Supposedly, it comes out this October. Do we still care?

The Running Man seems to have gotten lost in the plethora of 1980s action movies. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger at his peak and written by Stephen King, the dystopian sci-fi flick stands apart from the rest of the high octane releases of the time. And yet, no one talks about it. Maybe the upcoming remake directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell will change that.

Skincare story of a beautician who is being stalked sounds like it is either going to be an erotic thriller or a Lifetime movie. It has elements of both, but manages to stand on its own. Thanks to its strong writing, the Elizabeth Banks vehicle is able to take familiar tropes but never feel derivative. It leads to an odd mix of familiarity while providing something new and exciting. Plus, it is all based on a true story.

If only The Exorcism of Saint Patrick was as tightly written. The indie horror fails to set a strong tone and is a confusing watch. Is it a commentary against gay conversion? A supernatural revenge thriller? A story about a man who is losing his faith? In its attempt to try to be all of these things, it ends up being none of them. Can two strong performances overcome the flaws?

After weeks of too much nudity we had to take a week off. And wouldn't you know it? We get two movies with full frontal nudity. We return with a gritty and glamorous thriller that highlights that beauty is only skin deep. Plus, the first film in a triptych that takes audiences to three realities and three hells.
