The indie writer/director of Thunder Road and The Wolf of Snow Hollow returned with another gem in 2021 with a horror thriller about a man who receives an invitation for anonymous sex. It’s a unique, vibrant piece of filmmaking. (Yes, you read that right.) Newcomer Elle Lorraine plays a young woman who works at a MTV-esque music channel and rises the ladder of fame after her amazing new weave helps eliminate her enemies. Justin Simien surprised fans by following up his social satire Dear White People with a very different kind of film in this ‘80s-set movie about a killer hair weave. The intersection of faith and the potential of actual evil has been a genre subject for generations now, but Agnes adds an interesting hymn to the conversation. He helmed the 2021 American horror film about a demonic possession at a religious convent.
Mickey Reece is an interesting genre filmmaker with a growing following.
