DetailsBlood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchett
Every year, teenagers celebrate “Blood Night”, honoring the death of a serial killer by partying. It’s all fun and games until “Blood Night” turns bloody.

DetailsBright
Creatures of fantasy coexist amongst humans, however, tensions exist amongst these groups, causing non-human terrorist groups to want to do terrible things to make them powerful.

DetailsMullholland Drive

Details12 Monkeys

DetailsUnbreakable
