*DORM (dir: Songyas
Sugmakanan, Not Rated) – In this Thai horror film, a young boy is sent against his will to a boarding school that turns out to be very haunted. Sounds like typical Asian horror, right? Well, somehow DORM bagged the ultra-prestigious Glass Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival. |

HANNIBAL RISING (dir: Peter Webber, Unrated) – If you thought the Hannibal Lector story had been fully told and that there was nothing clever or remotely entertaining left to salvage from this series, you were completely correct. |

THE HAWK IS DYING (dir: Julian Goldberger, Not Rated) – Paul Giamatti stars as a Floridian who uses his passion for birds to transcend the normalcy of his everyday life while also caring for Michael Pitt, his autistic nephew.

WIDE AWAKE (dir: Alan Berliner, Not Rated) – This autobiographical documentary takes a tour through director Alan Berliner’s lifelong struggle with insomnia.
