• Death of a Unicorn, a horror-comedy from A24
  • The Woman in the Yard, a psychological horror from Blumhouse
  • A Working Man, an action-thriller from MGM

I’m making this post to bring attention to original movies being released that people here might not have heard about. If it’s recieved well, perhaps I’ll make this a weekly series of posts about originals being released.

Okay, technically, A Working Man is based on a book, but for all intents and purposes, it’s original.

    Went to see Unicorn just as it came out - purely by chance, I was in town and needed to kill a couple of hours.

    You’ll find this out if you look at most reviews, but it’s a solid 6/10 movie. It’s competent and has an interesting premise, but it doesn’t do anything terribly original with it. The “scare” moments were predictable to even a passive fan of horror, though not unearned.

    What brings it out of mediocrity are the performances; the whole cast is bringing their A game. Even if the characters never really surprise you, they’re still somehow believable and it’s easy to root for (or against) them.
