For this Friday Movie Night, we’re starting off with The Beasts (2022), a Spanish thriller about a French environmentalist couple in the Galician countryside who like to live in an eco-friendly manner. This lifestyle conflicts with that of their neighbors, who want to clear out the area to make room for wind turbines. A sadistic pair of brothers begins to terrorize the couple, and things spiral out of control from there. This is the best-known and best-regarded film to date of director Rodrigo Sorogoyen. Excellent reviews across the board for this one; let’s watch.

After that is School on Fire (1988), a Hong Kong crime film about a schoolgirl who testifies against the triads in court and finds herself the target of reprisals. The usual over-the-top Hong Kong acton ensues, with guns and blood sprays all over the place. While not Ringo Lam’s most famous film (that would probably be City on Fire [1987]), this is his highest-rated, both by critics and audience. Looks cool; let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
