In the depths of the Seine
If you like movies about killer sharks doing their thing, Netflix opens the Christmas season with one loose in the Seine, right in the French capital and with swimming competitions about to take place that could turn into a massacre. Directed by Xavier Gens, whom we remember from the memorable ‘Frontière[s]’ and the most recent ‘Mayhem!’ and ‘Gangs of London’.
Nightmares and daydreams
The Indonesian filmmaker Joko Anwar, responsible for icons of the most visceral modern horror such as ‘Impetigore’ or ‘The Queen of Black Magic’ (which he scripted), is responsible for this compilation of disturbing stories in which ghosts, possessions come together and satanic cults, among many other deviations from normality that seek pure and simple chills.

Sweet Tooth T3
The fantastic family apocalypse series based on a wonderful independent comic by Jeff Lemire comes to an end with a third season in which we will discover the fate of Gus. This young man, half boy and half deer, joins a strange family of hybrid children like him, who want to find answers to why his nature is at the end of the world.
The Boys S4
One of its flagship series returns to Prime Video, and an indisputable recent renewal of the superhero myth, along with ‘Invincible’ itself, on the same platform. After the impasse In the form of a spin-off that ‘Gen V’ has represented, the genuine The Boys and their relentless and highly politicized confrontation with Patriota and his henchmen return. And things promise to get especially tough this season.

Matrix Generation
It is, without a doubt, one of the most influential and talked about films in history. ‘The Matrix’ revolutionized action and science fiction cinema in 1999 with a unique mix of philosophical concepts, martial arts and cyberpunk for the masses. This documentary examines the phenomenon and its many ramifications to discover how far the rabbit hole goes.

Ghosts
With a colorful and very original aesthetic and production by Emma Stone, this series comes with the unique creative stamp of Julio Torres, whom we already saw in ‘Problemista’ and ‘Los Espookys’. The delirious story of ‘Ghosts’ begins with the loss of a gold earring in the shape of an oyster. While searching for the object, Julio reflects on the extravagant characters that he encounters in a dreamlike and absurd version of New York.
The House of the Dragon T2
This prequel to ‘Game of Thrones’ has become one of the most acclaimed HBO Max series, along with ‘The Last of Us’, in recent times. It tells us about the internal struggles within the Targaryen lineage to take over the Iron Throne. Everything indicates that, once the precedents have been established, a second season of ‘The House of the Dragon’ of conflicts, battles, betrayals and violence awaits us. A Tuesday in Westeros, come on.
Star Wars: The Acolyte
This new installment of the ‘Star Wars’ franchise is arousing considerable curiosity, especially because it is set in a time not explored by the films: we are going to the end of the High Republic, that is, a hundred years earlier than expected. The Phantom Menace’. We will see how a Jedi master investigates a series of crimes that lead him to a former Padawan. It is the creation of Leslye Headland, co-creator of ‘Russian Doll’, and has Carrie-Anne Moss among its protagonists.
Bad behavior
Jennifer Connelly stars in this extravagant and indisputably indie satire about a spiritual retreat that turns out to be much more delirious and demanding than she expected. She writes, directs and co-stars Alice Englert, daughter of Jane Campion, whom we have already seen in ‘Strange Creatures’ and ‘The Power of the Dog’, directed by her mother.
The last late night
The best film of the last Sitges festival was this disturbing piece that plays with the narrative limits of the genre, disguises itself as a parody of the late night Americans and pulls out its own mythology and a carousel of surprises that make it the most honest and direct horror film of recent times. A small wonder, disturbing and brutal.
Presumed innocent
The best-selling novel by Scott Turow that was already adapted in the eighties by Roman Polanski starring Harrison Ford receives here a new version starring and produced by Jake Gyllenhaal, and with JJ Abrams also in production. Gyllenhaal plays a prosecutor accused of a crime that he did not commit and whose search for evidence of innocence serves to review the political and power goings-on that the accusation unleashes.
