Friday gets freakier while a class of school pupils vanish and cartoon monsters come alive
This week's Spotlight episode features cinema releases involving reality twists, a nightmare unfolding in a new horror film and a hilarious multigenerational body swap comedy.
Sketch is a magical movie full of wild imagination as a young girl's comic book drawings come to life in a somewhat terrifying, chaotic and dangerous way — forcing her family to reunite to stop the monsters which were never meant to be unleashed. A heartwarming, inventive movie starring Tony Hale, D'Arcy Carden and Bianca Belle with knock-you-out-of-your-seat special effects. On at cinemas.
Weapons weaves together chilling events and a haunting mystery around a school class that went missing on the same night, at the same time, never to be seen again — barring one pupil. On at cinemas and IMAX, and with some true story influences, renowned horror director Zach Cregger (Barbarian) takes a stab at the gripping real-life plight of missing children. Starring Josh Brolin, Julia Garner and Benedict Wong.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are getting freaky again and reprising their iconic mother-daughter roles in Freakier Friday. It gets freakier with a new generational challenge as they swap lives in the middle of a family meltdown, with hilarious results. The next chapter in this 'freakquel' is ramping up the funny and the nostalgia and delivering great laughs on the big screen.
