There’s a myriad of dark wonders at your fingertips at home in or theaters this weekend, and we have the skinny on all the experiments, curses, cults, and much more! As always click on the title for everything you need to know!
The Belko Experiment
The Belko Experiment explores a twisted social experiment, in which a group of 80 Americans are locked in their high-rise corporate office in Bogata, Colombia, and ordered by an unknown voice coming from the company’s intercom system to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed.
The Devil’s Candy
A not-so-average family wrestles with Satan in a house from hell in this heavy metal-charged shocker. Diehard metalhead and struggling artist Jesse (Ethan Embry) moves with his wife (Shiri Appleby) and daughter (Kiara Glasco) to a middle-of-nowhere Texas town, unaware that the new house they got for an unbelievable deal comes with a grisly history.
Disturbing demonic goings-on culminate with the appearance of Ray (“The Walking Dead’s” Pruitt Taylor Vince). He’s the home’s former resident, and he’s here to do the Devil’s bidding. The cranked-to-eleven soundtrack blasts Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, and a thunderous original score by doom rock legends Sunn O))).
Atomica
In the near future, when communications go offline at a remote nuclear power plant isolated in the desert, a young safety inspector, Abby Dixon, is forced to fly out to bring them back online. Once inside the facility, mysterious clues and strange behaviors cause Abby to have doubts about the sanity, and perhaps identities, of the two employees onsite.
One of Us
On a mission to find her friend, Haley, investigative journalist Melanie Roberts tracks down the Ascension Family Commune and goes undercover to discover what’s happening there. Under the pretense of joining, Melanie meets Brent, the magnetic leader of the group, and charms her way in. But the women living on the farm are silent about Haley’s disappearance. When Melanie begins losing control and having nightmarish visions, the journey down the rabbit hole might be a trip she won’t return from.
Johnny Frank Garrett’s Last Word
Based on a true story… a nun was murdered in her convent bedroom in Amarillo, Texas, on Halloween 1981. The police arrested a young man, Johnny Frank Garrett, who always maintained his innocence; but he was found guilty and sentenced to death. On the night of his execution, he wrote a curse letter condemning the people and their families who helped send him to his demise. Shortly after Garrett’s death, members of the community start mysteriously dying. One of the jurors takes it upon himself to break the curse when his son is suddenly struck with a life-threatening illness.
Elle (on MOD and DVD)
