"47 Meters Down" (2017): Stay Out of the Water? More like Stay Out of the Theatre.

You know that it's summertime in cinemas when the sharks start to come out. Along with the 52nd installment of the Transformers franchise that nobody asked for. But I digress, I'm here to talk about fishy fare 47 Meters Down.

Mandy Moore and Claire Holt play sisters on holiday in Mexico. Needing more excitement in their lives, the pair are convinced by some locals to go cage diving with great whites. Things quickly spiral out of control when something goes wrong and they descend 47 meters down, trapped in the cage with limited air and surrounded by vicious sharks.

"Vampire's Kiss" (1989): Sickly Stupid or Bloody Brilliant?

The late '80s black comedy Vampire's Kiss stars Nicolas Cage as Peter Loew, a publishing executive in a personal rut that regularly visits with a psychiatrist. When a bat flies into his apartment one night things start coming undone for Peter. Seduced by a woman (played by Jennifer Beals) in a club, he takes her home only to be bitten on the neck and slowly turned into a vampire. His behavior becomes erratic as he tortures one of his secretaries in increasingly sadistic fashion. Things spiral out of control in violent and unexpected ways until we reach a bloody climax.

Thriller "Don't Breathe" (2016) Breathes New Life Into Home Invasion Flicks

After the success of his 2013 Evil Dead remake, Fede Alvarez is back with his second feature flick Don't Breathe. A gripping home invasion horror film, it follows three hapless thieves as they break into the house of a blind man (played by Stephen Lang) in an abandoned Detroit neighborhood. When the ex-army vet turns the tables on Rocky (Jane Levy), Alex (Dylan Minnette), and Money (Daniel Zavatto) they must find a way to escape with not just the cash but their lives.

Kiwi Coming of Age Dramedy "Hunt for the Wilderpeople"

Hunt for the Wilderpeople follows troublemaking orphan Ricky Baker (played by Julian Dennison) as he's shipped off from the city to live in the New Zealand countryside with a new foster couple. Warming quickly to caring Bella (Rima Te Wiata) and curmudgeonly Hec (Sam Neill), Ricky finally finds happiness with his new family.

But when unfortunate circumstances arise that threaten to take Ricky away, he and Hec go on the lam from the law and into the unforgiving wilderness. Misunderstandings lead Hec to become wanted for kidnapping Ricky. The pair have to find common ground together in order to survive not only the bush and the police, but each other.

Race Conscious Horror Flick "The People Under the Stairs"

When I was a kid I used to have this reoccurring nightmare where I was in an old, dilapidated house by myself. Walking carefully along the cobweb laden hallway an arm would reach from somewhere low in the wall, grabbing my ankle. The rest of the dream would be me fruitlessly trying to escape the hellish home pursed by the thing in the wall. The only way I ever did was to wake up.

It's not something I've thought of in years. Not until recently at least. Not until I watched Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs. Of course, the plot of this film comes from Craven's own dreams. That, coupled with a real news story of a family that kept their children locked in the basement.
