Must watch movies for spring break / pexel
As spring break approaches at Wright State, not everyone has a getaway vacation planned for the week. So, for the movie junkies stuck at home this year, below are some movie suggestions that you should watch while school is out.
The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2017)
This is a slow burn horror film centered around two teenage girls left alone with a malevolent force at a Catholic boarding school during winter break. Without spoiling the plot, this is all that I can share. It is a moody film that may not be every horror fan’s taste, but its story and few moments of terror bring a refreshing twist to the possession genre.It is available to stream on Kanopy, YouTube, Amazon Prime and Google Play.
Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
Based in 1969, a rundown rat-pack hotel located on the border of Nevada and California becomes the battleground between seven strangers. This pulpy crime film sports a fantastic ensemble of actors and one of the best soundtracks in a long time. With a wink to Tarantino in its style, this will certainly satisfy those looking for a period piece with an extra bite.It is available to stream on YouTube, Amazon Prime and Google Play.
Overlord (2018)
Only hours from the D-Day landings, a small group of American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines. The film details a mission to destroy a radio transmitter. As they get closer to their objective, it becomes clear that something non-human is going on in the Nazi-occupied village. This heart-pounding horror/action film brings together several genres to create a unique hybrid movie. This is a must-see for creature-feature fans and those with a likeness for first-person shooter horror video games.It is available to stream Vudu, YouTube and Google Play.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
While on a quest to find his father, the mighty Thor gets imprisoned on the garbage dump side of the universe. Forced to fight gladiator-style against an old friend from work. This third chapter of the Thor films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is wonderfully colorful with a hilarious charm. Which makes it one of the most memorable standalone features of the series. This is a recommendation for blockbuster nerds and metal fans that can’t pass up a Led Zeppelin-backed throw down.It is available on Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime and Google Play.
