🎥 Faces of Death
(Fri, Apr 10th — wide release)
This cult classic shocker gets a modern upgrade as a content moderator (Euphoria’s Barbie Ferreira) stumbles onto viral videos that may be recreations—or real-time murders—forcing her to question what’s performance and what’s horrifyingly real. From director Daniel Goldhaber and screenwriter Isa Mazzei, the filmmakers behind How to Blow Up a Pipeline, and co-starring Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX, this algorithm-age horror taps into our appetite for violent content, where the scariest part isn’t what’s on screen, but why we can’t stop watching.
🎥 You, Me & Tuscany
(Fri, Apr 10th — wide release)
A small lie sends a drifting twenty-something (The Little Mermaid’s Halle Bailey) into a sun-soaked Italian getaway when she pretends to be engaged to a stranger, only for real sparks to fly with his charming cousin (Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page). Produced by Will Packer, this breezy romantic comedy leans into mistaken identity and whirlwind romance, where one impulsive fib might just lead to something real.
🎥 The Christophers
(Fri, Apr 10th — limited release)
A reclusive pop art painter (Ian McKellen) becomes the centerpiece of a quiet con when his estranged children enlist a skilled restorer (Michaela Coel) to secretly finish his abandoned paintings before passing them off as rediscovered works. Reuniting director Steven Soderbergh with writer Ed Solomon, this art-world drama turns questions of legacy and authorship into a sly, ticking-clock scheme where the truth may be the most valuable forgery of all.
🎥 Beast
(Fri, Apr 10th — limited release)
A washed-up MMA fighter (Daniel MacPherson) is dragged back into the cage when his younger brother becomes leverage, forcing him to battle a brutal champion and a past he thought he left behind. With Russell Crowe as his hardened former trainer and Luke Hemsworth as a ruthless promoter, this gritty fight drama turns one last comeback into a fight for survival, where the cost of losing hits far beyond the final bell.
🎥 Exit 8
(Fri, Apr 10th — limited release)
A routine subway ride turns into an endless loop when a Japanese man (Kazunari Ninomiya) finds himself trapped in a shifting corridor where every detail feels off and every decision could be a mistake. Directed by Genki Kawamura and based on the viral game by Kotake Create, this psychological Japanese horror thriller thrives on repetition and creeping paranoia, where escape depends on noticing what doesn’t belong.
🎥 Mermaid
(Fri, Apr 10th — limited release)
A down-and-out Floridian (Johnny Pemberton) thinks he’s discovered a dying mermaid in the Gulf... only it looks more like a sideshow corpse than a fairytale fantasy, sending him on a bizarre mission that may be fueled as much by desperation as belief. Also starring Robert Patrick, Kevin Nealon, Kevin Dunn, and Tom Arnold, this dark offbeat comedy leans into delusion and deadpan absurdity, where saving a myth might be the last thing keeping him afloat.
🎥 Heads or Tails
(Fri Apr 10th — limited release; also on VOD/Digital)
Legendary American showman Buffalo Bill (John C. Reilly) brings his Wild West spectacle to Italy, only to be pulled into a real manhunt when a runaway wife (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) and a defiant local cowboy (Alessandro Borghi) turn myth into something far messier. Directed by Alessio Rigo de Righi and Matteo Zoppis, this Spaghetti Western riff flips the legend on its head, where the man selling the myth may not survive the truth behind it.
🎥 Hamlet
(Fri, Apr 10th — limited release)
A grieving heir (Riz Ahmed) navigates a British South Asian family empire riddled with secrets after his mother remarries, sending him down a path of suspicion and emotional unraveling. Directed by Aneil Karia and co-starring Art Malik, Joe Alwyn, and Morfydd Clark, this modern take on Shakespeare’s tragedy questions whether revenge brings justice or only deepens the damage.
🎥 ChaO
(Fri, Apr 10th — limited release)
A timid shipyard worker finds his orderly life upended when a mermaid princess suddenly proposes, pulling him into a chaotic courtship where culture clashes spiral into spectacle. From Japanese animator Yasuhiro Aoki and anime house STUDIO4°C, this vibrant sci-fi romance turns coexistence into a test of emotion, where love can’t be engineered.
🎥 Newborn
(Fri, Apr 10th — limited release; Exclusively at AMC Theaters)
David Oyelowo stars as a man released after years in solitary confinement who struggles to reconnect with a world that feels just as isolating, turning reintegration into a battle within his own mind. Written and directed by Nate Parker, this psychological drama questions whether freedom can truly exist when the prison never fully lets go.
🎥 PH-1
(Fri, Apr 10th — limited release; on VOD/Digital)
When a rising politician is held hostage inside his own penthouse, he’s forced to watch his life collapse in real time as media narratives spiral out of control. Mark Kassen directs and stars in this contained thriller where every second tightens the grip of misinformation and paranoia, and in a world driven by perception, the real question isn’t who’s watching... it’s who’s pulling the strings.
🎥 The Travel Companion
(Fri, Apr 10th — limited release; in NY)
Friendship gets messy when ambition and jealousy pull in opposite directions. In this offbeat buddy comedy from first-time filmmakers Travis Wood and Alex Mallis, Tristan Turner stars as a struggling New York documentarian who relies on his best friend’s airline perks to keep his dream project alive... until his friend’s new romance threatens to ground everything. As Anthony Oberbeck and Naomi Asa round out this uneasy triangle, loyalty begins to buckle, proving the quickest way to wreck a friendship is letting envy ride shotgun.
🎥 Jerry Maguire: 30th Anniversary
(Sun, Apr 12th, Tues, Apr 14th & Wed Apr 15th — re-release)
For its 30th anniversary, Cameron Crowe’s defining ‘90s crowd-pleaser returns to the big screen, revisiting a heartfelt story of romance, ambition, and soul-searching. Tom Cruise stars as a high-powered sports agent forced to rebuild with one loyal client, a rising yet cocky football star (Cuba Gooding Jr.), and the support of Renée Zellweger’s Dorothy Boyd, who believes in Jerry’s vision of success... that it means nothing without heart.
