Heavenly Creatures

Starring Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet, it follows the two young women who are looking for their places in the world and find each other.

The Woman in the Window

We continue Horrortober 8: The Horrors of Netflix with a thriller whose cast doesn't deserve to be in something this genuinely bizarre, The Woman in the Window. Starring Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, and a whole bunch of rather talented A-listers, it follows Adams an agoraphobe who thinks her across-the-way neighbor has been murdered. If it sounds like a better movie made by a director named Hitchcock, that's because it is but boy, it's really something else entirely. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk all about the film, the A-list cast, and all of that totally normal-sounding dialogue.

It features some fantastic performances and a three-act structure that recontextualizes the story at each turn.

Eli
