Sundance is returning in 2024 with a stacked line up and we will be there to cover as many titles as we can. Of course the Midnight releases are some of the ones we look forward to the most. This year one of our favorite horror films was Talk To Me which we saw at Sundance back in January. The film was such a huge film and one of the best theater experiences all year.
