April Picks: The Movies and TV Shows You Can't Miss6 of 10
Under the Silver Lake | In theaters Friday, April 19
In case you've forgotten by now, this L.A.-set mystery is the most recent movie made by It Follows filmmaker David Robert Mitchell, and it was nearly shelved after not-even-room-temp reviews at Cannes almost a year ago. But here's my thing: I thought It Follows was a solid psychological horror, but it felt like Mitchell essentially adapted Charles Burns' graphic novel "Black Hole" for the big screen and left out the monstrous transformations. Under the Silver Lake looks compelling and weirdo and original, so even if it's more Southland Tales than Donnie Darko, I'm looking forward to wading into this peculiar territory. — Arno
