Fear Street, Part 3: 1666 (2021)
Director Leigh Janiak’s creation of the “Fear Street” trilogy has to be one of the most impressive cinematic accomplishments this year.

Not to mention the fact that it trusts audiences will return is ambitious and often impressive.
Super Hot (2021)
I think it is possible that director Taylor King has created one of my favorite indie films of the year.
