Though there won’t be a new season of Stranger Things this October, Netflix is going to give fans a look at this trippy film they acquired from Sundance.

Check out It’s What’s Inside:

The official synopsis for the film reads:

A group of friends gather for a pre-wedding party that descends into an existential nightmare when an estranged friend arrives with a mysterious game that awakens long-hidden secrets, desires, and grudges.

The movie is a debut for writer/director Greg Jardin who is said to come from a music video background. While the premise of the movie isn’t that clear, the trailer itself showcases some very interesting visuals and vibes—which should be the main hook for It’s What’s Inside.

Some critics have been comparing the movie to Talk to Me, but from a visual perspective, the colors look pretty similar to another experimental series that Netflix did starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill—2018’s Manic.

If you’ve been following horror films for the past few years, it does seem that there’s been an emergence of more experimental movies that seem to instill horror in a more primal level. Of course, there is also the case of some classic horror movies with films like Smile and prequels for The Omen and The Exorcist.

When it comes to It’s What’s Inside though, I think this film is going to be relying more on the vibes than some actual scary monster.

It’s What’s Inside premieres on Netflix on Oct. 4.

Dakota Johnson Discovers She’s a Lesbian Late in Life in Trailer for Am I OK? https://www.geekfeed.com/johnson-discovers-shes-a-lesbian-in-for-am-i-ok/ Sat, 25 May 2024 18:02:44 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=82542 Dakota Johnson is currently tearing it up with Madame Web being the number one movie on Netflix ever since it was put on the platform, but she has an incoming film on Max with an interesting premise.

From Tig Notaro and her wife Stephanie Allynne, we have Am I OK? Watch the trailer down here:

Here’s the synopsis as per THR:

Am I OK? centers on lifelong friends Lucy (Dakota Johnson) and Jane (Sonoya Mizuno) navigating the changes in their paths after Jane plans a move to London, leading Lucy to reveal a secret about herself.

The movie had actually premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in 2022, and is only now getting the wide release. Besides Johnson and Mizuno, the cast also includes Jermaine Fowler, Kiersey Clemons, Molly Gordon, and June Diane Raphael. Notaro herself is also a member of the cast.

Though Johnson may be best known for her work on Fifty Shades of Gray, some can forget that she actually has fantastic comedic chops; that’s why the promotion for Madame Web was able to get a lot of hype even before the movie released.

Going back to Notaro, she is known to be a great comic, and I’m very interested to see how her directorial debut is going to turn out. She’s directed for TV and other stand-ups before, but with Am I OK? it certainly feels like a passion project between Notaro and Allyne.

Am I OK? is set to launch on Max on June 6.
