Toy Story 4

The adventure continues for Woody, Buzz and the gang in the next installment of the Toy Story series. Toy Story 4 will see the return of Little Bo Beep and a new toy named Forky (actually a spork) created by Bonnie, the toys’ new owner after Andy. The gang embarks on a road trip with Bonnie and her family, which turns into an unexpected reunion as Woody’s slight detour (these guys really need to learn to put on their seatbelts huh?) leads him to his long-lost friend, Bo Peep.

Child’s Play

This upcoming American slasher film is a remake of the 1988 film of the same name, and follows a similar plot featuring a doll named Chucky.

Genre: Horror (15+)

Above Suspicion

A rookie FBI agent, Mark Putnam, is sent to a small mining town in Kentucky along with his wife and new baby, where he begins cultivating informants and pursuing bank robbers and chop shop operators. He meets Susan Smith, who becomes one of his most useful and most troublesome assets, and the pair quickly becomes entangled in an obsessive love affair. Mark ends up brutally murdering Susan in order to protect his lies and career – leading to the first-ever conviction of an FBI agent for murder.

Starring:  Emilia Clarke, Jack Huston
Genre: Action, Crime, Thriller (15+)

The Dead Don’t Die

The movie centers around the sleepy small town of Centerville and something is not quite right. The moon hangs large and low in the sky, the hours of daylight are becoming unpredictable, and even the animals are beginning to exhibit unusual behaviors. But even with the scary news reports, no one foresees the strangest and most dangerous repercussion that will soon start plaguing Centerville: the dead rise from their graves and feast on the living, and the citizens must battle to survive.

Starring: Bill Murray, Adam Driver
Genre: Comedy, Fantasy, Horror (15+)
