Dennis Harvey Film Critic The other demonic possession movie opening this week, “When Evil Lurks” is unlikely to steal major box-office thunder from “The Exorcist: Believer.” But Argentine genre specialist Demian Rugna’s latest is no mere opportunistic cash-in, either, with its own distinctive and non-formulaic take on the notion of an evil spirit that strikes like a malignant disease. IFC Films is releasing this uneven but engrossing, sometimes startling horror thriller to several hundred U.S. theaters on October 6.
Shudder’s first Spanish-language original production begins streaming on that platform October 27. Rugna had an international breakout five years ago with his third feature “Terrified” (aka “Aterrados”), about a fantastical, lethal infestation in a couple of middle-class Buenos Aires households. A Guillermo del Toro-produced English-language remake was announced, as well as “Terrified 2,” though neither has yet come to pass.
(In the interim, Rugna completed only one directorial segment in the recently released omnibus “Satanic Hispanics.”) Instead, we have this new “contagion” thriller, which trades its predecessor’s supposedly scientifically-explicable menace for a supernatural one, and a domestic suburban setting for a road-trip structure. But in conceptual and tonal terms, the two are very similar. Once again, Rugna’s screenplay commences with nocturnal sounds that alert our protagonists to something amiss.

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Netflix has dropped a teaser for J.A. Bayona’s highly anticipated survival thriller “Society of the Snow,” which will represent Spain in the Oscars international feature film race.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Pallister insists Erik ten Hag's side can qualify for next season's Champions League - but only if they fix three key issues.
Dennis Harvey Film Critic As if paying penance for starring in all five “After” films to date — a series that’s been criticized for glamorizing toxic, controlling relationships à la “Twilight” and “50 Shades” before it — Josephine Langford now dallies on the decidedly wholesome side of romantic complication in “The Other Zoey.” This innocuous comedy, hinging on a gimmicky plot contrivance, doesn’t transcend formula even when it’s winking at the clichés it caves to. Still, it’s a pleasant enough diversion for those who want familiar genre beats sounded by the usual attractive actors in the customary attractive settings.
The latest addition to the quintet of business experts - former footballer Gary Neville - has had praised heaped on him following his debut on BBC hit Dragons' Den. Veteran dragon Deborah Meaden has revealed that the sporting commentator, 49, took to his brand new TV role like a duck to water, after he appeared as one of the celebrity guests earlier this year.
A tweet by a gambling company featuring Manchester United legend Gary Neville has been banned after a watchdog found the former footballer's strong appeal among under-18s broke gambling ad rules.
Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has responded to Gary Neville's comments after the Manchester United legend claimed the Spaniard was a 'nervous wreck' during the clash against Manchester City.
Guy Lodge Film Critic The grand-scale Biblical epics that midcentury Hollywood churned out to roaring box-office returns had many drawcards as (so to speak) mass entertainment — brawny action, transporting spectacle, then jaw-dropping effects — but a sense of humor, by and large, wasn’t one of them. That’s something British musician-turned-filmmaker Jeymes Samuel attempts to rectify in his offbeat messiah story “The Book of Clarence,” a newly invented tale that runs parallel to the life and death of Jesus in ways both blithely blasphemous and sincerely Christian.
Erik ten Hag is not afraid to direct criticism at his Manchester United players when needed but rarely has he done so towards opposition stars.
Dennis Harvey Film Critic The future looks more purgatorial than paradisiacal in “Divinity,” Eddie Alcazar’s second feature as writer-director. Like the first, 2018’s “Perfect,” this is a cryptic sci-fi body horror allegory where undeniably arresting aesthetics are nonetheless more a symptom of shallow lookism-based values than the intended critique.
Rio Ferdinand issued a brilliant response to Jurgen Klopp after the Liverpool manager joked that 'nobody was interested' in two of his former Manchester United teammates.
The story has been told several times in the famous 1990s movie, “Alive,” the excellent documentary “Stranded,” and hell, arguably even “Yellowjackets” borrows its core premise from the story of Air Force Flight 571, which went down in the Chilean Andes mountains in 1972, filled with 45 passengers many of them who were young soccer players on their way to a match (and yes, there’s a cannibalism element to it all).

Jessica Kiang Anyone familiar with the often disquieting solo work of directors María Alché and Benjamín Naishtat may be put on high uneasiness-alert by the opening scene of “Puan,” their first co-directed feature.
