RL Stine's series of 'Fear Street' young adult novels served as a gateway for a lot of young readers to discover the horror genre in the '90s. In 2021 Netflix released a trilogy of movies based on Stine's books, with instalments set in 1994, 1978 and 1666 that heavily drew on Scream, Friday the 13th and the folk-horror sub-genre respectively. Long envious of MCU fans who get to enjoy three or more interconnecting movies from their favourite cinematic universe every year, I was excited for a horror equivalent. Sadly the Fear Street trilogy was a mess that suffered heavily from getting itself bogged down in clunky universe building rather than telling three engaging horror stories. It may have taken the form of three movies but 2021's Fear Street was really just a TV show in disguise.

Supporting Actresses (Secundarias) is bound to be a favorite in the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival. Everything in this beautifully executed film directed by Arturo Dueñas, is centered around a play (Cartas al Emperador, “Letters to the Emperor”) and its ensemble’s representation of it. The film title references the marginality of our main characters who are secondary actresses inside the play. The production of Cartas al Emperador positions each woman in support of the king’s story as the tangential, dramatic or comedic foil to the straight-man; all of them merely women who marked his life by visiting on his deathbed.
