- Host. There's a reason everyone's been talking about Host. Aside from the film's juicy 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, director Rob Savage's idea (which all started with a scary viral tweet) is a brilliantly timely one: a horror film shot entirely over a video call, sort of like a Zoom séance version of The Blair Witch Project.
- Rocks. Suffragette director Sarah Gavron’s coming-of-age film Rocks was one of the most talked-about films of the year in the UK, and for good reason.
