Screenings in the Bay (Monday to Friday): Rift, Phenomena, Dark Signal


It's Thanksgiving week, which means the screenings in the bay area are pretty sparse right now. But in a rare turn of events, there's actually some good stuff on VOD! I can honestly say I recommend most of these, with the exception of Dark Signal since I've never seen it. Rift, which was made by the same writer/director as Child Eater, is amazing and won the PUFF tiara this year. Both movies are up on VOD actually... Good Time was a nonstop, high tension, high stakes urban fantasy that I couldn't relax through (in a good way), and IT, well we've all seen IT by now. But if you've got an itch that only a spooky clown can satisfy, there you go.

Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 men and boys in the Midwest United States between 1978 and 1991 before being captured and incarcerated. He would become one of America's most infamous serial killers. This is the story before that story. Jeff Dahmer (Disney Channel's Ross Lynch) is an awkward teenager struggling to make it through high school with a family life in ruins. He collects roadkill, fixates on a neighborhood jogger (Vincent Kartheiser, "Mad Men"), and copes with his unstable mother (Anne Heche) and well-intentioned father (Dallas Roberts). He begins to act out at school, and his goofball antics win over a group of band-nerds who form The Dahmer Fan Club, headed by Derf Backderf (Alex Wolff, "Patriots Day"). But this camaraderie can't mask his growing depravity. Approaching graduation, Jeff spirals further out of control, inching ever closer to madness.
