Till Death (October 1st)
Emma's marriage to Mark takes a dark turn when, after a tense anniversary celebration, she wakes up handcuffed to his lifeless body. Trapped in a secluded lake house, Emma soon faces unexpected visitors with sinister intentions, revealing dangerous secrets from her past. As she struggles to survive, a deadly game unfolds, forcing her to confront the truth about Mark, herself, and a hidden betrayal. In a final, desperate act, Emma fights for her freedom, leaving behind more than just her past.
CTRL (October 4th)
CTRL is a suspenseful thriller that explores the dangers of relying too much on technology. The film centers on Nella Awasthi and Joe Mascarenhas, a beloved influencer couple whose online followers admire their perfect relationship and the content they create together. However, when Joe betrays Nella by cheating on her, she feels devastated and seeks the help of an AI app designed to erase him from her life. At first, it seems like the perfect solution, but things quickly take a dark turn as the AI begins to take control, leading Nella down an unexpected and dangerous path.
It's What's Inside (October 4th)
It's What's Inside follows a group of old college friends who come together for one last wild party before Reuben (Devon Terrell), the charismatic rich kid of the group, gets married. They expect a night filled with drinks, laughter, and memories, but things take an unexpected twist when Forbes (David W. Thompson), the quirky friend they haven't heard from since their college days, shows up unannounced-holding a mysterious briefcase that changes everything.
The Platform 2 (October 4th)
The sequel to The Platform looks set to address the social and political issues brought up in the first film. Since the original highlighted class and inequality, The Platform 2 may examine the challenges and effects of trying to change the system. The first movie's ending hinted at a larger and scarier world outside the prison, so the sequel could explore that dystopian setting further.
Woman of the Hour (October 18th)
Woman of the Hour draws inspiration from the astonishing true story of Cheryl Bradshaw and Rodney Alcala. Cheryl appeared as a contestant on the hit '70s matchmaking show The Dating Game, where she ultimately chose bachelor No. 3, a handsome and witty man named Rodney Alcala. At first glance, he seemed like the perfect match, charming and full of charisma. However, beneath his alluring exterior lurked a chilling secret-Alcala was a psychopathic serial killer with a horrific history.
