🎥 Backrooms
(Fri, May 29th — wide release)
YouTube creator Kane Parsons turns his viral creepypasta shorts into a full-blown theatrical horror film, dragging audiences into an endless maze of empty office rooms, dead-end corridors, and reality-bending dread. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve star as a troubled man and his therapist pulled into a secret dimension where getting lost may be the least terrifying part.
🎥 The Breadwinner
(Fri, May 29th — wide release)
Nate Bargatze trades stand-up calm for stay-at-home chaos in this family comedy about a laid-back dad suddenly promoted to full-time household commander. When his wife (Mandy Moore) lands a major career opportunity, Nate is left juggling three daughters, school schedules, chores, and the terrifying realization that parenting is not a side gig. Colin Jost, Kumail Nanjiani, and Will Forte round out the cast in a comedy where dad jokes may not be enough to save the day.
🎥 Pressure
(Fri, May 29th — wide release)
History doesn’t get much heavier than the days before D-Day. Brendan Fraser stars as General Dwight D. Eisenhower, facing the impossible call of when to launch the Allied invasion, while Andrew Scott plays meteorologist James Stagg, whose weather forecast could alter the course of World War II. Directed by Hotel Mumbai helmer Anthony Maras, this tense historical drama turns military strategy into a nerve-rattling countdown where hesitation and miscalculation could cost thousands of lives.
🎥 Power Ballad
(Fri, May 29th — limited release)
Sing Street and Once filmmaker John Carney returns to the messy business of making music with this song-driven dramedy about creativity, credit, and one hit single with two possible fathers. Paul Rudd stars as a washed-up songwriter-turned-wedding singer whose late-night jam with Nick Jonas’s fading pop star turns into a comeback smash, a stolen-song feud, and one very tuneful fight over who gets to claim the glory.
🎥 The Last Viking
(Fri, May 29th — limited release; and on ✅VOD/Digital)
Family reunions are tricky enough before buried robbery money enters the picture. Nikolaj Lie Kaas stars as a recently released convict trying to recover his hidden loot, only to discover that his eccentric brother, played by a wonderfully against-type Mads Mikkelsen, can’t remember where it is. From Riders of Justice filmmaker Anders Thomas Jensen, this offbeat Danish crime comedy turns a desperate treasure hunt into a darkly funny excavation of sibling rivalry where forgiveness may be harder to find than the cash.
🎥 Pitfall
(Fri, May 29th — limited release)
One wrong step turns a peaceful outdoor trip into a dirt-covered nightmare. Richard Harmon stars as a young man who gets separated from his friends and falls into a spike-lined pit that definitely wasn’t built by nature. Trapped, injured, and possibly being watched, he must figure out how to survive when escape is ten feet above him and danger may be waiting at the edge.
🎥 Time and Water
(Fri, May 29th — limited release)
Iceland’s melting glaciers become both warning and memory in this National Geographic documentary from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sara Dosa. Poet and author Andri Snær Magnason reflects on climate change through family archives, photographs, songs, and folklore, turning a changing landscape into something deeply personal.
🎥 Speed Demon
(Sun, May 31st — limited release; and on ✅VOD/Digital)
Katie Cassidy and William H. Macy board the train ride from hell in this exorcism thriller on rails. When a demon begins possessing passengers, Sister Lu and Father Novak are trapped inside a speeding nightmare with nowhere to run and very little room for holy water. Directed by Jon Keeyes, the film combines supernatural horror with runaway-train tension, because apparently evil now prefers public transportation.
🎥 Tekkonkinkreet (Remastered in 4K)
(Sun, May 31st and Mon, June 1st — re-release)
STUDIO4°C’s cult anime returns to theaters in a new 4K remaster, bringing Treasure Town back in all its strange, kinetic glory. Based on Taiyo Matsumoto’s manga, the story follows orphaned street kids Black and White as they fight to protect their crumbling city from gangsters, yakuza, alien assassins, and darker forces closing in.
