\nDirector: Grace Glowicki
\nCast: Grace Glowicki, Ben Petrie, Leah Doz, Lowen Morrow
\nCanada, 2025
\nTrue, poetic, eternal love conquers all \u2014 a gravedigger\u2019s stench, a tragic shipwreck, even death! With only a severed finger as remembrance, a heartbroken romantic embarks on a madcap mission to reanimate the love of her life. Co-written, directed, and audaciously performed by Grace Glowicki, this peculiar tale is, in equal measure, grotesque and delightful, raunchy and surreal.<\/p>\n
\nDirector: Ben Leonberg
\nCast: Indy, Shane Jensen, Larry Fessenden, Arielle Friedman, Stuart Rudin, Anya Krawcheck, Hunter Goetz, Max
\nUnited States, 2024
\nIndy is a good boy; a faithful dog, he is always by his human Todd\u2019s side. When Todd seeks quiet in an empty family home in the countryside, Indy finds there is a strange, malevolent presence lurking in the shadows \u2014 an evil that only he can sense. Shot entirely from Indy\u2019s perspective, Ben Leonberg\u2019s first feature balances bark with bite<\/p>\n
\nDirector: Babak Anvari
\nCast: Rosamund Pike, Matthew Rhys, Paul Tylak, Stephen Jones, Megan McDonnell
\nUnited Kingdom, 2025
\nRosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys shine as distraught parents in a race against time as they speed through the night to reach their daughter after a distressing phone call. Lauded director Babak Anvari (Under the Shadow, Wounds) lends his signature tension to this disturbing pulse-pounder.<\/p>\n
\nDirector: Joseph Kahn
\nCast: Mena Suvari, Brandon Routh, Malina Pauli Weissman, Mariann Gavelo, Cory Hart
\nUnited States, 2023
\nHas-been science teacher Hank (Brandon Routh) is the only one suspicious of the \u201cick,\u201d a pervasive gooey growth that has permeated through his town. It is seemingly harmless, until now. Teaming up with student Grace, Hank must fight to stop this parasitic alien and the apathy of the town it is absorbing. Laced with 2000s emo and pop-punk hits, Joseph Kahn (Bodied) brings frenetic energy to this sci-fi\/horror satire.<\/p>\n
\nDirector: Alexander Ullom
\nCast: Phinehas Yoon, Akira Jackson, Noah Toth, Mitchell Cole
\nUnited States, 2024

\nDirector: Mike Wiluan

\nSingapore, Indonesia, Japan, United Kingdom, 2024
\nIn 1942 \u2014 deep in the Pacific theater of World War II \u2014 a Japanese soldier and British prisoner-of-war find themselves washed ashore on a dangerous deserted island.

\nFrance, Canada, 2024
\nAll hail! The reigning king of body horror returns with another tale of corruption, greed, conspiracy and technology.

\nUnited States, 2024
\nIn Addison Heimann’s (Hypochondriac, Overlook \u201822) wild and absurd new feature, intergalactic polyamory and one very codependent friendship collide when stoner roommates Craig and Joey have to suddenly move out of their apartment and decide to shack up with Joey\u2019s toxic ex who happens to be a horny, narcissistic alien from outer space. Tale as old as time.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025OVERLOOK-logo-150x150.jpg\"){kind=logo}

\nUnited States, 2025
\nZoe Chao (The Afterparty) stars as Yvonne, a woman reeling from a tragedy, who takes some much needed time away with a group of friends at their home in the countryside.

\nDirector: Emilie Blichfeldt
\nCast: Lea Myren, Thea Sofie Loch N\u00e6ss, Ane Dahl Torp, Flo Fagerli, Isac Calmroth, Malte G\u00e5rdinger
\nNorway, 2024
\nIn this warped, sinister spin on a Cinderella story, the lens shifts to plain-faced Elvira, who is willing to do whatever it takes to compete with her enchantingly beautiful stepsister Agnes, and win the prince\u2019s heart. No procedure is too gruesome, too bloody, or too painful to achieve her happily ever after, in this visceral body horror from Norway.<\/p>\n
\nDirector: Charlie Shackleton
\nUnited States, United Kingdom, 2025
\nWhen a passion project completely disintegrates, most filmmakers give up, move on and mourn their masterpiece that got away. But Charlie Shackleton is not most filmmakers. The wreckage of his derailed attempt at a zodiac killer documentary rises from the dead in Shackleton’s devilish grip as a wry, eerie, post-modern commentary on our cultural fascination with true-crime and collective bloodlust.<\/p>\n

The program\u2019s second half hits cruising altitude with Bret\u2019s montage of highlights from the Aughties\u2019 cringiest cable-TV show ever.
