When a broken and offline phone starts ringing, Finney discovers that through it he can hear the voices of the previous victims, who are determined to prevent Finney from ending up just like them.

    Why you shouldn’t miss it: It is the project that started Scott Derrickson (‘Sinister’, ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’) after leaving ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ because they wouldn’t let him do enough horror… So get ready. ‘Black Phone’ is based on a story by Joe Hill, son of Stephen Kingand starring Ethan Hawke.

    ‘Inexorable’

    inexorable

    Synopsis: Marcel Bellmer desperately seeks inspiration for the novel that follows his bestseller “Inexorable” and moves with his family to his wife’s old family mansion. As they get used to their new life, the silhouette of a young woman named Gloria lurks around the house. She seems fascinated by Marcel’s literary work and determined to put down roots in the family.

    Why you shouldn’t miss it: If you have seen any movie of Fabrice Du Welz, you’ll know he doesn’t have a bad one. The Belgian director is an expert in contrast, in creating bad vibes with images of great beauty, and ‘Inexorable’ is no exception, although here he moves a bit from the fantastic to the thriller.

    ‘freak out’

    freaks out

    Synopsis: Rome, 1943. Fulvio (Claudio Santamaria) is covered in hair from head to toe; Matilde (Aurora Giovinazzo) is so electric that she turns on her light bulbs by putting them in her mouth; Mario (Giancarlo Martini) suffers from dwarfism; Cencio (Pietro Castellitto) spits out fireflies and changes the shape of the insects. And Israel (Giorgio Tirabassi) is the owner and director of the circus that welcomes them all, like a sui generis family.

    Why you shouldn’t miss it: Gabriele Mainetti he dazzled with his particular vision of the world of superheroes in ‘They called him Jeeg Robot’, and with ‘Freaks Out’ he confirms that he is the visible face of the resurgence of the fantastic Italian, making the best X-Men movie in recent years. .. Without the X-Men.

    ‘ET the alien’

    et

    Synopsis: A small being from another planet is left behind on Earth when his ship forgets about him when he returns home. He is completely alone and scared, but he befriends a boy, who hides him in his house. The little boy and his brothers try to find a way to get the little alien back to his planet before the scientists and the police find him.

    Why you shouldn’t miss it: Any excuse to see ‘ET’ on the big screen is valid. Forever.

    Closing – ‘Virus 32’

    viruses 32

    Synopsis: A virus is unleashed and a chilling massacre runs through the streets of Montevideo. The sick become hunters and only calm their fever by unscrupulously killing all those who are not yet infected. Unaware of this, Iris and her daughter spend the day at the sports club where Iris works as a security guard. When the night comes, she is about to start a merciless fight. Her only hope of salvation comes when they discover that after each attack the infected seem to have 32 seconds of peace before charging again.

    Why you shouldn’t miss it: A couple of years ago, we packed the Palacio de la Prensa without suspecting that a couple of days later we would be locked up at home unable to leave because of a virus. What better way to return than with a light-hearted film of infections and infected, to rescue the party and the “mandanga” that characterizes the Syfy Show.
