Black Friday

Black Friday is nearly here, and while we love a sale as much as the next person, the day can be a little… overwhelming. If the prospect of shopping in a massive crowd gives you anxiety, this film is that feeling personified. Starring Devon Sawa, Bruce Campbell and Michael J. White, this movie is about a group of toy store employees who have to protect each other from a horde of parasite infected shoppers.
Releases Nov 25. Rated PG15.

Cry Macho

It’s been a while since a good old-fashioned Western came to UAE cinemas. The film stars Clint Eastwood as Mike Milo: a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder. He takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s son home from Mexico. They’re forced to take the back roads to Texas, and face an unexpectedly tough journey.
Releases Nov 25. Rated PG13.

Encanto

Looking for a fun film to take the kiddos to this weekend? Welcome to Casa Madrigal, where all the occupants have special powers – all except Mirabel. The family lives in a charmed place called the Encanto, and when Mirabel discovers the magic surrounding Encanto might be in danger. With music by Lin Manuel Miranda, this Disney film is sure to be heartwarming.
Releases Nov 25. Rated G.

Queen of Spades

A scary old mansion (why do people move to those?) some plucky teens and a night of “spooky” stories. In this horror film, the teens find an abandoned wing of their boarding school with a mysterious mirror covered in drawings. They use the mirror to call on the Queen of Spades to fulfill their wishes, but she won’t rest until she’s paid back. Anyone else have chills?
