HALLOWEEN (18 HLV)
Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park only
Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is again in a fight with Michael Myers, the masked horror who won’t ever stop. This time, she plans to change that – since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night in 1978. It’s been four decades since the debut of John Carpenter’s original Halloween film; he also returns to orchestrate a much-anticipated “final score” for the new film – described by some as one of the scariest movies in recent years…
THE HATE U GIVE (13 DLP)

Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend, Khalil, at the hands of a police officer. Now, facing pressures from all sides of the community, she must find her voice and stand up for what’s right.
