In any other director's hands, I'd write this off as pure schlock; something out of the direct-to-video bargain bin, or even a reboot of an old Vincent Price revenge film (say, Theater of Blood or The Abominable Dr. Phibes). But in the hands of Dan Gilroy (2014's incredible Nightcrawler), I have faith, particularly when it comes to infusing life into a pretty campy premise. Nightcrawler co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo are teaming back up, and the supporting cast includes Toni Collette, John Malkovich, and Natalia Dyer. — James G
