“You see, I’ve always wanted a little girl.”
School’s out for the summer and it’s time to roll up our sleeping bags, forge our physicals, put on our camp shirts, and head out to the woods. Sleepaway camp is often the first significant time kids spend outside of their homes and can be an opportunity to build independence and a sense of self-worth. At a normal camp, that is. Camp Arawak may just be the worst case scenario. In addition to horrific bullies and creepy cooks, there’s a killer lurking among the canoes and cabins. Someone is murdering counselors and campers alike and no one knows who will be next.
Angela (Felissa Rose) is a quiet girl headed to camp with only her cousin Ricky (Jonathan Tiersten) to protect her. And it’s a good thing he’s there. Counselor Meg (Katherine Kamhi) and mean girl...

Oh, Canada debuting this week on the Croisette is high time to see lesser-seen Schrader on the Criterion Channel, who’ll debut an 11-title series including the likes of Touch, The Canyons, and Patty Hearst, while Old Boyfriends (written with his brother Leonard) and his own “Adventures in Moviegoing” are also programmed. Five films by Jean Grémillon, a rather underappreciated figure of French cinema, will be showing
Series-wise, there’s an appreciation of the synth soundtrack stretching all the way back to 1956’s Forbidden Planet while, naturally, finding its glut of titles in the ’70s and ’80s––Argento and Carpenter, obviously, but also Tarkovsky and Peter Weir. A Prince and restorations of films by Bob Odenkirk, Obayashi, John Greyson, and Jacques Rivette (whose Duelle is a masterpiece of the highest order) make streaming debuts. I Am Cuba, Girlfight, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Dazed and Confused are June’s Criterion Editions.

“It has nothing to do with Satan, Mama. It’s me. Me. If I concentrate hard enough, I can move things”
Is it possible to go to prom these days without thinking about Carrie? Brian De Palma’s 1976 adaptation of Stephen King’s debut novel has become so ingrained in the zeitgeist that it’s nearly impossible to shop for a prom dress without a fleeting fear that it might become covered in blood. And perhaps that’s a good thing. Revolutionary at the time, the story concludes with a shocking act of righteous revenge, but mixed into the wreckage is a cautionary tale about bullying and religious abuse. Carrie may wield the fiery hand of justice in the film’s final act, but only after a lifetime of victimization at the hands of her classmates and mother. Maybe thinking about Carrie and the real life outcasts that share her...
