Weekend watchlist: Monsters, Music, and Mayhem
The Gothic Crown Jewel: The Bride!

Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring a powerhouse ensemble including Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, and Jake Gyllenhaal, this drama-horror-romance promises a visceral, stylistic exploration of the Frankenstein mythos. Expect a film that is as emotionally haunting as it is visually arresting.
For the Global Fandom: Enhypen: Walk the Line
K-pop fans have a mandatory appointment on March 5 and through the weekend. “Enhypen: Walk the Line Summer Edition – in Cinemas” brings the group’s electrifying stage presence to the big screen. Featuring Lee Heeseung, Yang Jungwon, and Jay Park, this music documentary is more than a concert film; it is a communal experience for the “Engenes” worldwide.
