Sandberg took on Annabelle and joined forces with Shazam, he gained notoriety for his short film Lights Out. Stars: Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, Maria Bello, Billy Burkeīefore David F.Minimalism is the film’s secret ingredient: getting straight to the point and keeping a quick pace in a way that never loses our attention. Hann and Miscione turn social experimentation into a thriller about characters arguing their point about why they should be the one who lives another round, relying on dialogue to sell the existential dread at the script’s core.

The original nails the basics of shark cinema like the best have in the past, which this sequel doesn’t try to match. I won’t lie and say the 47 Meters Down sequel is better than 47 Meters Down. Stars: Sophie Nélisse, Corinne Foxx, Sistine Stallone.The Strangers is horrifyingly relevant and needs nothing more than to implode the idea of our houses being safe spaces like few home invasion films have, and ever will, deliver. Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman give tremendous performances as victims caught in an unthinkable cat-and-mouse scenario.
