THE BUZZ: Here’s hoping that Carice van Houten and Aaron Eckhart are in complete scenery chewing mode since this movie feels pieced together from any number of horror and sci-fi films. Interesting that this is director Brad Peyton’s follow-up to San Andreas.

THE BUZZ: With a trailer that’s five times more frightening than any “AHS: Roanoke” episode and polarizing critical response, I feel powerless against the pull of this black-and-white nightmare created by first-time director Nicolas Pesce. We’re also pro Pesce because he wrote up a list of his favorite B&W horror movies for us. – Arno
