This week at the movies

Spooky spooks come out to frighten this week, with a darker selection of film releases. If you’re scared of clowns beware, as twisted fetishes and fantasies come alive in the ‘Sad trumpet ballad.’

Similarly, ‘Don’t be afraid of the dark,’ could make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, so if you’re in need of comic relief, ‘Horrible Bosses’ is probably the way to go.

If you’re after something deeper, more intense and cultural perhaps try ‘I Am Love’, a story of an American woman who moves to Italy and experiences the complexities of the society she confronts. (see links to the article for full review).

Full list of film releases:

Balada Triste de trompeta: Spain/France, 2010. (Directed by Alex de la Iglesia)

Horrible Bosses: US, 2011. (Directed by Seth Gordon)

Don’t be afraid of the dark: US, 2010. (Directed by Troy Nixey)
