Remember 2022’s Prey, the Predator prequel about a young warrior named Naru who faces off against an extraterrestrial headhunter? Out of Darkness is simply a lot like that, but alternatively of a Comanche female surviving in the large Plains circa 1719, it’s a Stone Age tribe of humans who wash ashore a unusual land in search of food. And alternatively of being hunted by a Predator, they’re being stalked and hunted by… well, something else.

Where to watch: Available to acquisition on EDGLRD

Image: EDGLRD

Genre: Psychedelic action
Run time: 1h 20m
Director: Harmony Korine
Cast: Jordi Mollà, Travis Scott, Joshua Tilley

What is there to say about AGGRO DR1FT, really? Filmed entirely in infrared photography, Harmony Korine’s latest experimental feature follows a melancholic assassin (Jordi Mollà) on a mission to execution a demonic, katana-wielding crime lord known as “The Beast” in nightmarish Floridian hellscape populated by eccentric gangsters and bikini-clad strippers. It’s a visually abrasive and unconventional film, but is it actually any good?

From our review:

AGGRO DR1FT is an obtuse, ridiculous, headache-inducing movie to watch. It’s nearly impossible to tell whether any minute of the movie is entirely a gag or entirely sincere — it’s called AGGRO DR1FT, for God’s sake. It’s a meaningless phrase, rendered in all capital letters with a 1 standing in for an I; for all we know, it might as well be Travis Scott’s Gamertag. But the movie is more than that too. It’s as clear a depiction of a certain kind of distinctly male-coded interior life as I’ve always seen, and there is value to making that in specified a weirdly unfiltered way. AGGRO DR1FT isn’t an enjoyable or peculiarly well-made movie, but it is the movie I’ve thought about most this year. For better or worse, that’s worth something.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu

Image: Warner Bros.

Genre: Sci-fi action
Run time: 2h 28m
Director: George Miller
Cast: Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke

Mad Max manager George Miller has returned with another explosive entry in his post-apocalyptic action series. Set an indeterminate amount of years before Mad Max: Fury Road, Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) stars as Furiosa, a young female who struggles to reclaim her freedom after being kidnapped by Dementus (Chris Hemsworth), the ruthless leader of an army of bikers. Along the way, she’ll cross paths with Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme), her future boss turned adversary, and Praetorian Jack (Tom Burke), her mentor and ally.

From our review:

An epic, nearly 20-year saga likely isn’t what most people were expecting from Furiosa, but the approach allows the planet to grow in pleasing ways. The MCU-ification of cinema means that franchise blockbusters frequently uncover characters, crucial MacGuffins, communicative loose ends, and possible sequel nods in bite-size teases that are less and little likely to lead anywhere. But with Furiosa, Miller widens the scope of the Mad Max scenery exponentially, as characters old and fresh blast their way onto the screen, giving clearer insight into the setting of the Wasteland, its societal hierarchies, its gasoline-fueled wars, and its steampunk-hued reality.

In a Violent Nature

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu

Image: Shudder

Genre: Horror
Run time: 1h 34m
Director: Chris Nash
Cast: Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love

What if there was a slasher movie where everything was seen from the position of the killer? Wonder no more, due to the fact that that’s precisely what manager Chris Nash’s fresh movie delivers. In a Violent Nature is easy 1 of the gnarliest horror movies of the year, with adequate gruesome gore to keep your eyes peeled to the screen and your hands firmly gripped on your seat.

Summer Camp

The Boy and the Heron

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu

Image: GKIDS

Genre: Fantasy drama
Run time: 2h 4m
Director: Hayao Miyazaki
Cast: Soma Santoki, Masaki Suda, Aimyon

After more than a decade, Hayao Miyazaki has returned with a fresh fantasy follow-up to his 2013 historical drama The Wind Rises. Inspired by Miyazaki’s favorite childhood novel, as well as his own experiences increasing up in post-WWII Japan, The Boy and the Heron follows Mahito, a young boy who loses his parent in a tragic fire. After moving to the countryside with his recently remarried father, Mahito crosses paths with a mysterious anthropomorphic bird that entices him with the promise of being reunited with his mother.

From our review:

On the surface, all of this is par for the course for a Miyazaki film, with trace elements from Spirited Away, My neighbour Totoro, or Kiki’s transportation Service. The confusion starts erstwhile viewers effort to square that with the parakeets, causality-breaking out-of-time characters, and the heron turning out to be a tiny gnomelike man wearing a surviving bird like a suit. Could all those elements be purposeful trolling from a manager known for his, to put it delicately, acerbic personality? Maybe, but there seems to be a message behind the madness: It’s as if Miyazaki is declaring, “This is my life’s work. I don’t care if you’ve enjoyed it. Goodbye.”

The Watchers

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu

Image: Warner Bros. Pictures

Genre: Horror
Run time: 1h 42m
Director: Ishana Night Shyamalan
Cast: Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Olwen Fouéré

Dakota Fanning stars in The Watchers, the debut horror feature from Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night Shyamalan. The movie follows Mina, an American immigrant surviving in western Ireland who is tasked with delivering a parrot to a zoo in Belfast. After losing her way in a vast forest, Mina finds shelter in a unusual bunker alongside 3 another strangers who are being held captive by unusual malicious entities who observe them through a mirrored window.

From our review:

Most of The Watchers’ appeal comes from all the mysteries in this setup: wondering what the Watchers are and what they want, what secrets the another 3 captives are hiding, who will inevitably crack first under the force the eerie situation puts the group under, and how Mina’s arrival will upset the position quo. The sharp, high-contrast cinematography (from Lamb’s Eli Arenson) gives these beginning chapters a winningly oppressive look, with the golden glow of the Coop extending out into the deep blues and blacks of the nighttime woods. The constant effect of the Coop’s mirrored wall gives the characters an eerie set of duplicates hovering close at all times, which Shyamalan and Arenson usage to make a hyper-real but inactive fable-like atmosphere that’s frequently haunting and unsettling.
