“Its What’s Inside”A big hit out of Sundance earlier this year, produced by Domingo Colman and sold to Netflix for $17 million dollars, “It’s What’s Inside” is genre-defying and hard to categorize. Still, it’s a bit of a mix of body swap, horror, comedy, and mystery thriller. Directed by Greg Jardin, the film centers on a pre-wedding reunion that descends into a psychological nightmare for a group of college friends when a surprise guest arrives with a mysterious suitcase. The big ensemble cast features Brittany O’Grady, James Morosini, Gavin Leatherwood, Nina Bloomgarden, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Reina Hardesty, Devon Terrell, David W. Thompson, and Madison Davenport.Release Date: October 4 via Netflix. 

“The Outrun”Saoirse Ronan stars in one of two major performances this fall in “The Outrun.” The film, directed by Nora Fingscheidt from a screenplay she co-wrote with Amy Liptrot, follows a young woman who returns home after a stay in rehab. The film stars Saskia Reeves, Stephen Dillane, Lauren Lyle, and Paapa Essiedu and had its premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
