Just as he and Morgan begin to get to know one another, more obstacles are thrown into their path in the likes of her ex-boyfriend, who has decided he wants her back, and his own money hungry ex-girlfriend.

*Horror*  Zach and Samantha McCall return from their honeymoon with all but one night for which they can account. Their life plan takes a turn when they learn Samantha is pregnant ahead of schedule. Zach decides to record the pregnancy progression for posterity. Samantha's pregnancy hormones appear to be a little more out of whack than most women's.

R
*Mystery/Suspense*  Academy Award Nominee Jake Gyllenhaal reteams with his PRISONERS director, Academy Award Nominee Denis Villeneuve, in this sexy and hypnotically surreal psychological thriller that breathes new life into the doppleganger tradition. Adam Bell (Gyllenhaal) is a glum, disheveled history professor, who seems disinterested even in his beautiful girlfriend, Mary (Laurent). Watching a movie on the recommendation of a colleague, Adam spots his double, a bit-part actor named Anthony Clair, and decides to track him down. The identical men meet and their lives become bizarrely and irrevocably intertwined. Gyllenhaal is transfixing as both Adam and Anthony, provoking empathy as well as disapproval while embodying two distinct personas. With masterfully controlled attention to detail, Villeneuve takes us on an enigmatic and gripping journey through a world that is both familiar and strange - and hard to shake off long after its final, unnerving image. ENEMY, adapted from Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago's 2004 novel The Double, is about the power of the subconscious. In the end, only one man can survive.
 
R
 *Action /Adventure*  A gang of sadistic Neo-Nazi meth-heads attack a Jewish family celebrating their youngest son's birthday, and the video camera catches every second of terror in this shocking home invasion thriller. A group of Neo-Nazis invade the home of a recently moved-in Jewish family on their youngest son’s birthday and start terrorizing them. They rape, torture, kill, and maim their way through a fun filled evening all the while dragging a camera around so that we can find the footage later. This is the plot to director James Cullen Bressack’s home invasion found footage horror Hate Crime. This is not Bressack’s first found footage film, and to be honest I thought he’s done better. To Jennifer was superior in almost every way, while still not being a great movie.

R
*Horror*  Old St. Leopold's Hospital has many urban legends surrounding it, but the residents of Bridgeport all agree on one thing: tortured souls roam its abandoned halls.
