A legendary former commando fights thieving Nazis during the final days of World War II in Sisu. The bloody action-drama unfolds in the stark beauty of wintertime Finland.

Family comes first in Evil Dead Rise, as two estranged sisters must put aside their differences when one of them is attacked by flesh-possessing demons. Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland star in the gory horror thriller.
Speaking of blood, Renfield spills quite a lot in a new take on the story of Dracula (Nicholas Cage), told from the perspective of the titular character (Nicholas Hoult), aka the bloodsucker's loyal assistant, who yearns for a life free from blood-sucking. Awkwafina also stars in the horror-comedy.

Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez star in the witty action-adventure Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. They have been charged with retrieving a valuable relic but danger lurks around every corner. Hugh Grant also stars.
