The film stars Nicole de Boer (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”), Maurice Dean Wint (“Haven”), and David Hewlett (“The Shape of Water”).
The Crazies
In “The Crazies,” residents of a picture-perfect Midwestern town begin to succumb to an uncontrollable urge for violence when a mysterious toxin in the water supply turns everyone exposed to it into mindless killers. It’s a nightmarish struggle for survival in this tense remake of the 1973 George Romero film of the same name.
The Golem
Set in a Jewish community in 17th century Lithuanian, which is ravaged by a deadly plague, “The Golem” follows Hanna (Hani Furstenberg, “American Gods”), a desperate woman who turns to ancient texts and forbidden magic to create a Golem, a creature of clay and mystical energy, to protect her people from a hostile Christian mob. As the Golem grows in power, it becomes a force of both protection and destruction, blurring the lines between savior and monster.
