Directed by Jamin Winans, The Frame could be described as a hybrid of two classic thought-provoking films: The Truman Show and The Matrix. This film blends elements of sci-fi and crime to create a cinematic experience truly like no other. To put it simply, the story follows two strangers who find their lives colliding in an impossible way.
Remember the horror movies from the 60s? They weren’t the best at being scary but excelled at being entertaining. This horror comedy pokes fun at the original The Brain That Wouldn’t Die in 1962. In this satirical sendup of the cult classic, a morally dubious surgeon revives his fiancée’s severed head and sets out to find her a new body by any means necessary.
Ink is a film like no other and we would expect nothing less from the incomparable Jamin Winans. It uniquely tells two different stories that are in different genres. One is in a fantasy where good faces off against evil. The other story is rooted in our world and follows a distant father who seeks redemption after his daughter ends up in a coma.
There’s a reason that the Fast and Furious franchise has gone on for more than a decade. We just can’t get enough of car chases and of course, Vin Diesel’s lines about family. The Longest Run (2022) doesn’t have recurring themes about family or Vin Diesel, but it does have exciting car chase scenes. On top of that, the film blends the road movie genre with crime.

A drama about time travel? Yes please. Alistair 1918 is about a World War One soldier who accidentally time travels to present-day Los Angeles. Filthy, penniless, with no way to prove his identity, he struggles to find a way back to his wife in 1918. Even with time travel, the film leans less on the sci-fi elements and more on being a grounded drama about the protagonist’s predicament.
Directed and written by Nicholas Valaskatgis, Uncanny Harbor walks the line between science fiction and horror. Valaskatgis’s appreciation for the mixture of eeriness and everyday life started with The Twilight Zone.
Taking place in a seaside New England town, Arthur is a recluse fisherman who suddenly begins to have visions of his missing wife that disappeared 25 years prior. With investigators having no leads, they work with the few clues they have to find her and Arthur begins to recall what actually happened on the night she vanished.
