Gird your loins, folks! Aussie twin brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, who terrified us with 2023’s “Talk To Me,” crank up the horror with their follow-up “Bring Her Back” (A24). Add to the fact that the Oscar-nominated Sally Hawkins we’ve come to know and love from “Happy-Go-Lucky,” “The Shape of Water,” and “Blue Jasmine,” has been replaced by someone entirely different in this new movie.

Iair Said, the writer, director, and star of the queer Argentinian movie “Most People Die on Sundays” (Big World Pictures), deserves our admiration. In 72 minutes, he makes us run the gamut of emotions, sometimes in the same scene.

Intentionally or not, Liza Minnelli has been a presence in the public eye since her birth. The daughter of screen legends Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli, Liza’s arrival on March 12, 1946, made headlines, and since then, she’s been singing and acting her way into our lives and hearts.

It’s only May, but Alison Brie and Dave Franco’s “Together,” which opens in July(!), is already being declared the year’s best horror movie. Don’t want to wait to see another excellent horror/slasher flick at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes? Eli Craig’s “Clown in a Cornfield” (RJLE/Shudder), with the most wonderful queer twists of its colorful sleeve, opens in theaters in May.

If you thought Paul Feig’s 2018 adaptation of Darcey Bell’s novel “A Simple Favor” was twisted and twisty, hang on to your oversized but chic hat, because the sequel, “Another Simple Favor” (Amazon/MGM/Lionsgate), also directed by Feig, is as snaking as a road in Capri (where the movie is set, by the way).

Gay filmmaker Christopher Landon, son of the late Michael “Little House on the Prairie” Landon, has established himself as writer and director of movies in the horror and thriller genres. He continues that trend with his new movie, “Drop” (Universal/Blumhouse).
