10 Upcoming Movies with INSANE Plots
7. Redux Redux
Sci-fi horror has always been a fertile ground for blisteringly original ideas, and Redux Redux offers up a real winner alright.
Kevin and Matthew McManus' film follows Irene (Michaela McManus), a woman who travels through the multiverse, repeatedly killing her daughter's murderer, Nelson (Jeremy Holm).
The problem, however, is that Irene has effectively become addicted to offing the killer in myriad brutal ways, all while holding out hope that there might be a universe where her late daughter is actually still alive.
It's a brilliant, attention-grabbing setup, and one which the McManus brothers have evidently delivered on, as Redux Redux has largely scored strong reviews since its recent premiere at the SXSW Film Festival.
Revenge thrillers are a dime a dozen and the whole multiverse shtick is starting to feel pretty played out at this point, but this is certainly a singular take on both, eschewing big-budget multiverse-hopping in favour of something more stripped down and propelled forward by its fascinating central idea.
