Ifc Films Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

The struggle to survive in uncertain times is nothing new, but 2020 has made us all aware of the “wolves” just outside the door. IFC’s “Hunter Hunter” seeks to explore this battle between nature, people, and mysteries better left unsettled.

This year hasn’t offered us a lot of joy. That’s about to change with the upcoming documentary “Dear Santa.” The movie follows the tradition of the U.S.

“A Call to Spy,” which tracks the true-life story of how British spies navigated France during World War II, may be set 80 years ago, but its themes of racism, sexism and misogyny feel undeniably, infuriatingly urgent.

It looks like film distributor IFC Midnight will continue to keep us entertained and scared at home as the theater business continues to struggle. The independent film distributor has released an impressive slate of indie horror films this summer, including “The Wretched,” “Relic” and “Sputnik.” Upcoming IFC Midnight film “Kindred” will soon be added to the growing list of impressive genre films.

Brian Landis Folkins looks so broken in “Rent-A-Pal” it’s a wonder he’s actually in one piece. His body sags and his face sinks, eyes sulking under a pair of glasses.

If you judge life based solely on films, people really don’t ever figure themselves out. It would seem that every major phase of a person’s life is filled with awkward, cringey moments that haunt you forever.

The majority of war drama films focus on men serving their country in battle. In a refreshing change to the genre, ”A Call to Spy” puts women in the spotlight.

Monsters of the past never truly go away. The new film, “Sputnik,” explores its own scenarios surrounding human nature and the creatures we try to keep at bay.

If you polled film fans and asked what the best horror film of the last five years is, they’d likely say “Hereditary.” And though that film is incredibly creepy and unnerving, what elevates it above the rest is the human element at the core, with the true story revolving around a mother and her relationships with her family.

IFC Films’ upcoming release, “The Painted Bird,” is a disturbing film. But that is to be expected when you have a black and white feature set during the end of World War I about a young boy that is on his own, trying to do whatever it takes to survive in the face of violence and brutality.

We are now officially into June and in any normal year, we would have already had about a month’s worth of “summer movies” at the box office. Typically, the first weekend in May (or last weekend in April) is the unofficial start to Summer Movie Season, with the release of a Marvel Studios feature.

Since the release of “Hereditary” in 2018, which surprised everyone with its big box office and critical acclaim, film fans are now looking for the next horror film to have the same effect. Last year, it was “Midsommar” that had the same anticipation, even though that was hardly the same type of feature.
