In what’s said to be one of the most jam-packed programs in years, the Sundance Film Festival has unloaded its lineup of films for the 2022 event returning to Park City Utah from January 20-30.
Sundance is the premiere film festival in the United States and has previously shined a light on hundreds of horror classics from Hereditary to Relic, The Night House, The Witch, The Babadook, Blair Witch Project, Possessor, Get Out, The Lodge, Mandy, SAW, and many, many more.
This year’s program is straight-up bonkers. Highlights include V/H/S/94 filmmaker Chloe Okuno‘s feature debut Watcher (hail Raatma!), which stars It Follows and The Guest‘s Maika Monroe; Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, the duo behind V/H/S Viral, Synchronicity, Spring, Resolution, and Endless, return with Something in the Dirt; Prometheus and Lamb‘s Noomi Rapace appears in You Won’t Be Alone by Goran Stolevski; and The Night House star Rebecca Hall can be seen in Resurrection from Andrew Semans.
Which of the following will be next year’s breakout?!
