Join us weekly as Rotten Tomatoes reports on what’s indie features are streaming. From promising releases by new voices to experimental efforts from storied filmmakers – or perhaps the next indie darling to go the distance for end-of-year accolades – we will break it all down for you here each week.
This week in our Indie Fresh List, we have a high school horror-comedy, an apocalyptic dark comedy, and a heartfelt documentary from a filmmaker about her father’s dementia. In our Spotlight Section, we bring back a found-footage horror film from Shudder with a new interview with its director, Rob Savage. In our indie trailer section, we have new trailers from films featuring Riz Ahmed, Steven Yeun, Stanley Tucci, and Colin Firth.
