Audiences are already drawing comparisons between 'Infinity Pool' — the newest film by Brandon Cronenberg starring Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth — and "The White Lotus." But while the HBO show uses wry satire to make its point, Cronenberg's film aims to horrify with its adult themes and overt violence.

Based on the viral New Yorker short story by Kristen Roupenian, 'Cat Person' may threaten audiences with permanent muscle damage thanks to its cringe-inducing central sex scene.

Based on the novel by co-writer Ottessa Moshfegh, Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie are getting critical praise for their intense chemistry in this dark and twisty story of the relationship between a juvenile detention secretary and the new prison psychiatrist who shakes up her life.

Writer/director John Carney has launched his two previous musical dramedies at Sundance ('Once' and 'Sing Street'), and both have gone on to please audiences and critics alike, so expect his latest, which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt a as failed musician who becomes an inspiration for Flora (Eve Hewson), who is struggling with her failing marriage and troubled young son, to follow suit. Apple certainly believes in the film, as it has acquired 'Flora and Son' for an impressive $20 million.
