A young woman takes a housekeeping job in a mysterious New York City high-rise, only to discover the building hides a deadly secret — and its residents might be part of something far more sinister. Expect wild kills, dark humor, and non-stop tension in this R-rated horror-comedy that’s already generating buzz after its festival premiere.

Apple secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of a mall store after hours with her fellow “fruits” Cherry and Fig. When a new hire starts questioning their sisterhood, things turn bloody and chaotic. A sharp, feminist-tinged horror-comedy with mall culture vibes and plenty of dark laughs.

A struggling single father chaperones his distant teenage daughter at a regional dance competition as he tries to rebuild their relationship. Heartwarming, emotional, and grounded in real family dynamics.
