A supernatural thriller about a ghost, a girl, and a guy. Or wait, maybe it’s a psychological thriller. A murder mystery? But where’s the tension? Zed and Ed battle it out with the polarizing Personal Shopper.

Adulting can be hard. What happens when you lose your apartment and your best friend in a single fell swoop? Well, you rebound by going on a few adventures to France and…your undergraduate institution. They say you can’t go home again, but really what they meant is you should never go back to your old dorm. Join us this week for Frances Ha.

Vorpal sword? Check. Manxome foe? Check. Burbling beside the Tumtum tree? Check. An ordinary bumbling goofus tossed into a world of court intrigue, capitalist plunder, and a monster-laden forest? Wait, are we still talking about the poem? Who’s this princess? Why is this castle crumbling to dust? Join us to find out with Terry Gilliam’s Jabberwocky.

What could be nicer than a romp through the Siberian forest on the hunt for diamonds? Surely, we’ll just be in store for a peaceful nature documentary, right? Hmm, love triangle forming? Horrible natural disasters coupled with technical difficulties? This might be a little bleaker than we thought…

This week: a short episode for a short movie. Do you get aggravated when a character uses Wikipedia to identify the supernatural creature infesting your horror movie?

When an orphan finds his way into a haunted refuge, who would have thought the supernatural would prove to be the least evil force in the story?

What do you get when you cross a steamed rice fetishist with a contracted killer? You get the #3 hitman in Japan. However, will he remain #3 for long? Find out in the classic, Branded to Kill.

Do you like the smell of hairspray in the morning? The burning sensation of car exhaust filling your lungs? What about that pesky fluoride in your public water? Wash all your chemical fears away with a nice glass of tasty milk, and join us for the unsettling story of Safe.
