I purposely went into the screening of “Don’t Worry Darling” knowing as little as possible about the movie because all I heard from critics was how disappointed they were. Boo.

“Railway Children” is the sequel to a successful ’70s family film in the UK. The ’70s film was called “The Railway Children.” Why the word “The” was dropped from the title for this sequel is beyond me, but there we have it. Actress Jenny Agutter (An American Werewolf in London) plays a character named Bobbie in both films. In “The Railway Children,” she was the older sister who, during World War 2, helped her mother move the tribe from the city to Yorkshire village.

“God’s Country” is set in a small town in Montana. The movie is based on “Winter Light” by author James Lee Burke. Burke, who’s a New York Times bestselling author. Burke has written over forty novels. He also has two short story collections and “Winter Light” is from one of those collections. I hope more filmmakers dig into them and find more movies to make.
“Goodnight Mommy” is the remake of the 2016 Austrian horror film of the same name. I say remake lightly. The original movie tackles what it’s like to go through a period of grief when you’re entirely alone. This film does the same thing, only here, and brilliantly when you think about it, you’re not quite sure what the hell is going on! Well, at first. It’s a tad slow. However, that’s what makes it so good… or is it confusing to its audience? That’s why I also use the word “brilliantly.” When you leave the theater, you can’t help but continue to think about this movie eating away at you.
