Take From Me, the feature debut from writer and director West Eldredge, is a slow-burning horror-thriller that weaves grief, temptation, and psychological tension into a story that sticks with you. Originally known under the title Love Dogs, the film follows John, a widowed Appalachian man portrayed with quiet intensity by Ethan McDowell. Still reeling from loss, John finds himself drawn to a mysterious young woman, Elizabeth, played by Kyla Dyan, who purchases his old farmhouse. As John becomes increasingly tethered to her, a local disappearance unsettles the town, leading the police captain to suspect a darker presence lurking beneath the surface of their seemingly quiet community.

Anthony Knasas’s The Anger is a fierce, emotionally charged revenge thriller that strikes with precision, both in its message and execution. Following the relentless torment of an innocent teen, the film pivots into a blood-soaked reckoning as a group of bullies begins to face the consequences. What sets it apart is how it blends social commentary with shocking twists and visual flair, delivering a deeply unsettling experience that lingers.
