Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have eight movie reviews for you this week. They include a new film about religious fanaticism from the filmmakers behind Goodnight Mommy and The Lodge (The Devil’s Bath) plus a documentary about the horrific legacy of a questionable John Wayne film (The Conqueror: Hollywood Fallout). A Sundance film from 2023 with Lily Gladstone finally sees the light (Fancy Dance) and we get the second younger man/older woman rom-com in just a few months now with Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron (A Family Affair). A pre-Dracula vampire is revealed in a new horror film (The Vourdalak) and Dakota Johnson has a long cab ride conversation with driver Sean Penn (Daddio). Then we watch the blind aliens attack New York (A Quiet Place: Day One) and Kevin Costner directs the first of his four-part epic western (Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1)
