No, not that Faces of Death, but also: yes, kind of that Faces of Death. Barbie Ferreira is a bored content moderator for a TikTok-like app jarred by what appear to be gruesome snuff films being uploaded to the site. Somewhat obscured by the success of Obsession and Backrooms, it deserves a rediscovery as one of the year’s surprise horror standouts.

The Running Man, but slower? Sort of, yeah – and both are from the mind of Stephen King. In an alternate-reality United States, young boys are recruited into an annual event forcing them to literally walk until they drop. Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence transforms one of King’s earliest novels into a dystopian coming-of-age story propped up by impressive performances from Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson.

Can revenge become an addiction? If you could chase your daughter’s murderer through the multiverse and kill him over and over again, it sure could. Stories about grief and the futility of vengeance are plentiful, but this overlooked sci-fi nerve-shredder from Kevin and Matthew McManus is uncommonly sharp and emotionally resonant.
Another Colleen Hoover adaptation rolls off the assembly line. After serving a long prison sentence for the accidental death of her boyfriend, Kenna (Longlegs’ Maika Monroe) attempts to rebuild her life with the daughter she’s never known and a hunky bar owner (Him’s Tyriq Withers). If you’re a fan of Hoover’s brand of romantic melodramas, there’s no reason to believe you won’t enjoy this.
