Family Reunions: Now With 100% More Homicide If you were hoping for a heartwarming tale about healing old wounds over potato salad, keep walking. Is God Is isn’t interested in your feelings. It’s interested in your femoral artery. This blood-spattered, genre-bending odyssey proves that vengeance is a dish best served with Southern Gothic grit and a side of pitch-black comedy so dark it’ll leave you reaching for a flashlight. Based on Aleshea Harris’ award-winning play, the film marks her directorial debut—and she isn’t exactly “easing” into the chair.

Hell Hath No Fury (But These Two Do) The setup is simple: Two sisters, Anaia and Racine, receive a letter from their mother.

If you’ve ever looked at a chimpanzee and thought, “That looks like a delightful companion for my suburban home,” please watch Primate before you make any life-altering mistakes. Because as this film vividly demonstrates, chimps aren’t pets—they are compact, hairy engines of destruction that will treat your face like a scratch-off lottery ticket. Practical Magic and Blood-Soaked Realism Let’s talk about the absolute standout here: the special effects. In an era where everything is smoothed over with mediocre CGI, Primate goes “old-school” in the best way possible. The effects are mostly practical, and they are impressive as hell. We’re talking tactile, “I-can-almost-smell-the-copper” gore that makes the brutality feel dangerously real. And when I say gore, I mean this rabies-carrying critter literally rips someone’s jaw off, and we see it all! I actually had the chance to sit down with the Director of Photography, Stephen Murphy. We peeled back the haunting imagery from the poster and his insights into the production,

Get ready to get weird. The Sundance hit Touch Me will officially be released on Digital and Blu-ray this May. This psychosexual horror-comedy comes from the mind of writer-director Addison Heimann and promises a gooey, neon-soaked exploration of codependency and interspecies intimacy. A Very Specific Addiction The plot follows two best friends who fall under the spell of a mysterious alien narcissus creature. Touch provides a heroin-like high that makes all their anxiety vanish.
