Night Shyamalan (Signs) and stars Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter), Ben Aldridge (Our Girl), Nikki Amuka-Bird (Jupiter Ascending), Jonathan Groff (The Matrix: Resurrection) and Abby Quinn (After the Wedding).

By the end, you may love it, and you may very well hate it-but either way, it's a ride worth taking.Knock at the Cabin (2023) is a new M. It's hard for a 3 hour and 15 minute movie to not be boring, but this movie somehow makes that time fly. Less a horror than a surreal existential dread bonanza, Beau is Afraid is also quite funny throughout. ![]() ![]() You'll spend much of Beau is Afraid wondering how much of the movie you're watching is really happening, and how much is a hallucination, eventually seeing things devolve into what's almost a David Lynch-esque abstraction of real life and pure nightmares. Joaquin Phoenix stars as the titular Beau, in a movie that tells its audience immediately that they're watching a heightened world where everything for its sad-sack protagonist is at its horrifying and anxiety-inducing most. And while it absolutely will not be for everyone, it was, in fact, for me. And these are the movies we think will be able to do it.Īre you ready to be disturbed? Are you ready to be shaken to your core? Are you ready to leave a movie theater thinking "what the hell did I just watch?"

Liked Top Gun: Maverick? Tom Cruise went even bigger with Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, the seventh film in his long-running stunt-heavy spy franchise.

Tár and The Banshees of Inisherin gave us some incredible performances from Cate Blanchett and Colin Farrell that left us thinking for a long time.
