🎥 In Theaters This Week

🎥 They Will Kill You
(Fri, Mar 27th — wide release)

One bad job. One very bad building. Zazie Beetz stars in this grindhouse horror-action hybrid as a financially desperate woman who takes a housekeeping gig inside a towering New York high-rise, only to discover its wealthy tenants (Patricia Arquette, Tom Felton, and Heather Graham) are part of a satanic cult with a monthly human sacrifice on the schedule... and she’s next in line. But this would-be victim turns the tables, using her brutal cage-fighting skills to battle her way floor by floor through a night of blood-soaked survival. Sometimes evil does lurk in the shadows… and sometimes it lives right upstairs.


🎥 Forbidden Fruits
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

In this Diablo Cody-produced darkly comic horror satire, Lili Reinhart stars as a boutique-working mall employee who secretly leads a coven of fashionable witches (Victoria Pedretti and Alexandra Shipp), where after-hours rituals blend sisterhood with a taste for revenge. But when a rebellious new hire (Lola Tung) throws their perfectly curated dynamic off balance, everything begins to unravel in ways that threaten not just their bond, but the very power holding them together.


🎥 Our Hero, Balthazar
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

In this dark satirical thriller from the producer of Uncut Gems, Jaeden Martell plays an emotional New York teen whose online anti–school shooting activism spirals when a relentless troll draws his attention. Fearing real-world violence, he tracks down the supposed culprit—a gun-obsessed Texas teen (Asa Butterfield)—only to find something far more complicated. Their uneasy bond unfolds on a cross-country journey, where assumptions crack and reality proves messier than the internet suggests. Sometimes the person on the other side of the screen isn’t the enemy... but a reflection of a social crisis no one fully understands.


🎥 She Dances
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

This emotional family dramedy follows a divorced father (Steve Zahn) trying to reconnect with his teenage daughter (Audrey Zahn, his real-life daughter) during a road trip to a regional dance competition. What begins as a simple ride slowly turns into something more personal as unresolved grief and years of distance are finally brought to the surface. Directed by actor Rick Gomez from a script he co-wrote with Zahn, and co-starring Ethan Hawke, Mackenzie Ziegler, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Rosemarie DeWitt, the film suggests that family reconciliation is often found through quiet moments of vulnerability rather than dramatic confrontations.


🎥 You’re Dating a Narcissist!
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

Marisa Tomei stars as a sharp-minded psychologist who’s made a career out of spotting narcissists. But when her own daughter (Ciara Bravo) announces a sudden wedding, she becomes convinced the charming fiancé (Marco Pigossi) checks every box, setting her off to stop the marriage at any cost. Teaming up with her best friend (Sherry Cola), she launches a cross-country mission to expose him, only to create an even bigger mess in this indie comedy where diagnosing young, foolish love proves far messier than leaving it alone.


🎥 Alpha
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

Boundary-pushing horror French filmmaker Julia Ducournau (Titane, Raw) returns with yet another unsettling descent into psychological and physical unease, set amid a mysterious bloodborne outbreak. A troubled teenage girl (Mélissa Boros) becomes the center of suspicion after a strange marking appears on her arm, pushing her mother (Golshifteh Farahani) into a spiral as fear grips their community. As the illness spreads across the city, the girl’s family (including Tahar Rahim’s strung-out uncle) begins to fracture under the weight of the unknown, suggesting that some fears don’t just spread... they consume.


🎥 The Mummy Returns: 25th Anniversary
(Fri, Mar 27th — re-release)

Back in theaters for its 25th anniversary, this Stephen Sommers-directed sequel reunites Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as Rick O’Connell and Evelyn, once again facing an ancient Egyptian priest with a deadly agenda. This fan-favorite follow-up amplifies the original’s pulpy charm with bigger spectacle, supernatural chaos, and monster-driven thrills, proving some curses (and some blockbusters) keep coming back no matter how many times you try to bury them.


🎥 Stand by Me: 40th anniversary
(Fri, Mar 27th — re-release)

A timeless journey gets another trip back to the big screen. This 40th anniversary re-release celebrates Rob Reiner’s coming-of-age classic, following four young friends, Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern as they venture into the woods in search of the dead body of a missing boy, only to confront the fears and truths shaping their path to adulthood. Starring Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O’Connell, and adapted from Stephen King’s “The Body,” it remains one of cinema’s most enduring portraits of friendship.


🎥 The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

This documentary tracks filmmaker Daniel Roher, a father-to-be, as he tries to understand the rise of artificial intelligence and the uncertainty surrounding it. As the technology rapidly reshapes industries and society, he seeks insight from scientists, experts, and skeptics. What takes shape is a portrait of both promise and peril, as innovation races ahead of the systems meant to regulate it. Through interviews and real-world examples, the film becomes a personal journey and a broader reflection on what kind of future the next generation may inherit.


🎥 Marc by Sofia
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release; expands)

Sofia Coppola steps into nonfiction filmmaking for the first time, turning her lens toward longtime friend and fashion designer Marc Jacobs. This intimate documentary plays less like a biography and more like a candid, evolving conversation, as Jacobs reflects on creativity, identity, and the pressures of modern fashion. With Coppola placing herself inside the frame, their decades-long friendship unfolds into a thoughtful exchange about artistic instinct, where fashion and filmmaking mirror each other in mood, image, and personal expression.


🎥 Fantasy Life
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release; expands)

Love gets messy as boundaries begin to blur in this New York-set romantic comedy. Matthew Shear writes, directs, and stars as a spiraling law school dropout who takes a babysitting job and quickly falls for his employer (Amanda Peet), a married actress whose life isn’t as stable as it appears. When her rock-star husband (Alessandro Nivola) reenters the picture and the setting shifts to a crowded Martha’s Vineyard summer, desire becomes nearly impossible to ignore... or suppress.


🎥 Holy Days
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

This warm comedic road movie follows three unconventional nuns (played by Judy Davis, Miriam Margolyes, and Jacki Weaver) who set off across New Zealand in search of independence and personal closure. Leaving behind the constraints of convent life, they encounter a young Māori boy (Elijah Tamati) who joins their journey, bringing his own unresolved past along for the ride. But when a sudden snowstorm halts their progress, they’re forced to pause and confront grief, faith, and the choices that brought them here.


🎥 Home Delivery
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

A home birth turns into a full-blown family spectacle in this offbeat indie comedy about a plus-size supermodel (Melanie Field) and her husband (Donald Faison), who invite their eccentric relatives to witness the arrival of their first child. With Rainn Wilson, Joe Pantoliano, Lesley Ann Warren, Jimmi Simpson, Lindsay Sloane, and Peter MacNicol rounding out the ensemble, the gathering quickly spirals into something far less serene than planned, as tensions, personalities, and long-simmering issues take center stage.


🎥 John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

The mind becomes uncharted territory in this documentary portrait of maverick scientist Dr. John C. Lilly. Driven to unlock the secrets of consciousness, he uses his own body as a laboratory, exploring dolphin communication, sensory deprivation, and psychedelics in search of something beyond human understanding. Narrated by Chloë Sevigny, the film follows a figure whose radical pursuits blurred the line between science and self-exploration, while inspiring films like Ken Russell’s Altered States and Mike Nichols’s The Day of the Dolphin. Free your mind... but be careful what you invite in.


🎥 Yes
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid returns with a sharp political satire that takes aim at rising nationalism in the wake of national trauma. Ariel Bronz stars as a jazz musician who, alongside his dancer wife (Efrat Dor), offers his talent to a system he once resisted, even as doubts linger. Tasked with composing a unifying anthem, his work becomes entangled in propaganda, turning provocation into a study of artistic compromise. The film examines how easily dissent can be absorbed by the very systems it tries to challenge.


🎥 A Magnificent Life
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

This animated biographical drama from acclaimed French animator Sylvain Chomet (Les Triplettes de Belleville) follows aging renowned French writer Marcel Pagnol as he faces a creative slump when a mysterious visitor (his younger self) enters his life. Their encounter sends him back through the moments that shaped his journey, challenging his doubts and reigniting his sense of purpose. Blending imaginative animation with reflective storytelling, the film explores whether an artist’s best work is ever truly behind them.


🎥 The Serpent’s Skin
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

In this supernatural lesbian romance from Australian horror filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay, a young woman escapes a hostile hometown and finds connection with a magnetic goth tattoo artist. But when a demonic force they unleash begins feeding on those around them, their passion takes a darker turn, forcing them to confront trauma and self-doubt before it pulls them apart.


🎥 13 Days 13 Nights
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release; also on VOD/Digital)

Time is running out as Kabul descends into utter chaos during the final days of the 2021 withdrawal. A small French security team (led by French-Moroccan actor Roschdy Zem) must evacuate hundreds of civilians from the last Western embassy. With danger at every turn, each move becomes a high-stakes gamble. Inspired by true events, this tense French thriller follows a two-week mission where survival hinges on timing, trust, and impossible choices in order to get everyone out alive before the city collapses.


🎥 Underland
(Fri, Mar 27th — limited release)

Based on Robert Macfarlane’s book, this documentary explores the hidden worlds beneath the Earth’s surface. Narrated by Sandra Hüller, it follows scientists and explorers into caves, glaciers, burial chambers, and the SNOLAB observatory. Through striking visuals and immersive sound, the film offers a poetic reflection on humanity’s connection to the planet, suggesting some of the most profound truths lie deep underground.
