While we do have several repeat titles making their way to different theatres in the bay area, we also have three brand new titles that will be gracing our screens in the very near future. Currently, Dark Crimes is the only one with a showtime this week, and will be opening at the Roxie Theatre Friday night. First Reformed is one of the new A24 films hitting the public this week, but the soonest showtime I could find is still a week and a half away, so I'm hoping that changes soon. And finally, The Hollow Child, which I fear may be a VOD only release. However, that remains to be seen!
Also this week, Terror Tuesday returns to the 80's with TerrorVision, the Super Shangri-La Show plays with Black Magic at the Balboa Theatre, and the Stanford breaks out their romantic crime double feature.

Reverend Ernst Toller (Ethan Hawke) is a solitary, middle-aged parish pastor at a small Dutch Reform church in upstate New York on the cusp of celebrating its 250th anniversary. Once a stop on the Underground Railroad, the church is now a tourist attraction catering to a dwindling congregation, eclipsed by its nearby parent church, Abundant Life, with its state-of-the-art facilities and 5,000-strong flock. When a pregnant parishioner (Amanda Seyfried) asks Reverend Toller to counsel her husband, a radical environmentalist, the clergyman finds himself plunged into his own tormented past, and equally despairing future, until he finds redemption in an act of grandiose violence. From writer-director Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver; American Gigolo; Affliction) comes a gripping thriller about a crisis of faith that is at once personal, political, and planetary.

A debunker of all thing paranormal, Professor Phillip Goodman (Andy Nyman) has devoted his life to exposing phony psychics and fraudulent supernatural shenanigans on his own television show. His skepticism is put to the test, however, when he receives a file of three chilling, inexplicable cases: a night watchman (Paul Whitehouse) haunted by disturbing visions as he patrols an abandoned asylum; an edgy young man (Black Mirror's Alex Lawther) involved in a hellish car accident deep in the woods; and a wealthy former banker (Sherlock's Martin Freeman) visited by the poltergeist spirit of his unborn child.
