VoD tips: Dom Toretto’s back!

Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew have already driven their way out of plenty of dangerous situations. But now there’s an adversary back from the past who’s out to exact bloody revenge. He wants to take down the «family» and destroy everything Dom loves and cares about. Despite its lack of depth and dialogue, it’s an exciting, action-packed movie full of computer-generated car stunts. They may be fake, but they look cool. The ball bomb in Rome and the dam scene are truly breathtaking!

Director and screenwriter Ari Aster has already made a name for himself and built a loyal fan base with movie gems like «Hereditary» and «Midsommar». In his surreal horror comedy «Beau is Afraid», Joaquin Phoenix stars as a successful but anxious businessman who embarks on a nightmarish journey home following his mother’s death. A disturbing, enthralling ride with awesome imagery from start to finish.

Seiya’s out looking for his sister who’s been kidnapped and he’s making ends meet by taking part in brutal fights for money.

But he still needs to face his own past to become a Knight of the Zodiac. True anime action for fans of the genre.

The fictional character of R. M. Renfield was invented in 1897 by Bram Stoker for his Gothic novel Dracula. He’s a devoted human servant whom the vampire frees from the lunatic asylum and lures with the promise of immortality. This fantastical horror comedy takes this very simple idea to tell us the story of a servant (Nicholas Hoult) who’s trying hard to renounce his master. It’s just bad luck that his boss is Count Dracula (Nicolas Cage). Crazy and amazing in equal measures!

In this action comedy, Bert Kreischer’s drunken past catches up with him.

One for real fans!
