THE MOVIES<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Purge<\/em><\/strong> (2013)<\/strong> \u2013 In an America ravaged by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government sanctions an annual 12-hour period during which all criminal activity — including murder — is legal. James Sandin (ETHAN HAWKE) and his family face the ultimate test when an intruder drags the vicious outside world into their home. James, Mary (LENA HEADEY) and their two children struggle to survive the night while trying not to turn into monsters like the ones they are striving to avoid. [Review Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Ouija<\/em><\/strong> (2014)<\/strong> \u2013 Following the sudden death of her best friend, Debbie, Laine (OLIVIA COOKE) finds an antique Ouija board in Debbie’s room and tries to use it to say goodbye. Instead, she makes contact with a spirit that calls itself DZ. As strange events begin to occur, Laine enlists others to help her determine DZ’s identity and what it wants. As the friends delve deeper, they find that Debbie’s mysterious death was not unique, and that they will suffer the same fate unless they learn how to close the portal they’ve opened.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

The Boy Next Door<\/em><\/strong> (2015)<\/strong> \u2013 When a handsome, charming teenager named Noah (RYAN GUZMAN) moves in next door, newly separated high-school teacher Claire Peterson (JENNIFER LOPEZ) encourages his friendship and engages in a little bit of harmless — or so she thinks — flirtation. Although Noah spends much of the time hanging out with Claire’s son, the teen’s attraction to her is palpable. One night, Claire gives in to temptation and lets Noah seduce her — but when she tries to end the relationship, he turns violent.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Unfriended<\/em><\/strong> (2014)<\/strong> \u2013 One night, while teenagers Blaire (SHELLEY HENNIG), Mitch (MOSES STORM), Jess (RENEE OLSTEAD), Adam (WILL PELTZ), Ken (JACOB WYSOKI) and Val (COURTNEY HALVERSON) take part in an online group chat session, they are suddenly joined by a user known only as “Billie227.” Thinking it’s just a technical glitch, the friends carry on their conversation… until Blaire begins receiving messages from someone claiming to be Laura Barns, a classmate who killed herself exactly one year prior. As Blaire tries to expose Billie’s identity, her friends are forced to confront their darkest secrets and lies.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

The Visit<\/em><\/strong> (2015)<\/strong> \u2013 A single mother (KATHRYN HAHN) sends her two young children (OLIVIA DEJONGE, ED OXENBOULD) to visit their grandparents on a remote Pennsylvania farm for a week-long trip, but the children discover that the elderly couple is involved in deeply disturbing activity, and the youngsters’ chances of getting back home look less and less likely with every minute that passes. [Review Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Split<\/em><\/strong> (2016)<\/strong> \u2013 Though Kevin (JAMES MCAVOY) has evidenced 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher (BETTY BUCKLEY), there remains one still submerged who is set to materialize and dominate all of the others. Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey (ANYA TAYLOR-JOY), Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him — as well as everyone around him — as the walls between his compartments shatter. [Review Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Get Out<\/em><\/strong> (2017)<\/strong> \u2013 Now that Chris (DANIEL KALUUYA) and his girlfriend, Rose (ALLISON WILLIAMS), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Happy Death Day<\/em><\/strong> (2017)<\/strong> \u2013 Tree Gelbman (JESSICA ROTHE) is a blissfully self-centered collegian who wakes up on her birthday in the bed of a student named Carter (ISRAEL BROUSSARD). As the morning goes on, Tree gets the eerie feeling that she’s experienced the events of this day before. When a masked killer suddenly takes her life in a brutal attack, she once again magically wakes up in Carter’s dorm room unharmed. Now, the frightened young woman must relive the same day over and over until she figures out who murdered her.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Truth or Dare<\/em><\/strong> (2018)<\/strong> \u2013 Olivia (LUCY HALE), Lucas (TYLER POSEY) and a group of their college friends travel to Mexico for one last getaway before graduation. While there, a stranger convinces one of the students to play a seemingly harmless game of truth or dare with the others. Once the game starts, it awakens something evil \u2014 a demon which forces the friends to share dark secrets and confront their deepest fears. The rules are simple but wicked \u2014 tell the truth or die, do the dare or die, and if you stop playing, you die. [Review Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Ma<\/em> (2019)<\/strong> \u2013 A lonely middle-aged woman (OCTAVIA SPENDER) befriends some teenagers and decides to let them party in the basement of her home. But there are some house rules: One of the kids has to stay sober, don’t curse, and never go upstairs. They must also refer to her as Ma. But as Ma’s hospitality starts to curdle into obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a terrorizing nightmare, and Ma’s place goes from the best place in town to the worst place on Earth.
