Over the next few weeks, Netflix will release two of my
most-anticipated movies of 2018, movies I’ve been frothing at the mouth for
since I first heard they exist. They drop Jeremy Saulnier’s Hold the
Dark this month, and in October, they release Apostle,
the latest film from The Raid mastermind Gareth Evans. That doesn’t
hit until October, but as if Evans’ very involvement doesn’t land this at the
top of your must-watch list, this first trailer should do the trick.
There are things that writer/director Oz Perkins’ (who acted
in one of my all-time favorites, Not Another Teen Movie,
and also happens to be the son of Psycho’s Anthony Perkins)
horror thriller, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, does well.
And other things it does not.
I still can’t believe this movie hasn’t come out yet. Last
May, I saw thriller The Blackcoat’s Daughter at the Seattle International Film Festival. Before that, it made the other festival stops, including a premiere
at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, where it debuted as
February. It feels like it’s been on the way forever, but it’s
finally set to come out and A24 released a fantastic new trailer.
