15 Awesome Movies To Watch This Summer (That Aren't Blockbusters)

3. The Perfection

Release Date: May 24

The Plot: A cello prodigy's pursuit for perfection takes a sinister turn.

Why It's Going To Be Awesome: Richard Shepard‘s (The Matador, Dom Hemingway) shift into horror territory earned strong reviews from its TIFF premiere last year, and seems like a snug fit for Netflix's fast-growing catalogue of cult genre films.

Though billed by critics as a cross between Whiplash and Black Swan - but for cellos, of course - many reviewers have implored interested parties to read as little as possible about the movie before seeing it.

Nevertheless, there's been consistent praise for leads Allison Williams and Logan Browning, not to mention the film's uneasy, slow-building mood.

So, if you really don't feel like leaving your house to go see Aladdin (or Brightburn) on May 24, you've definitely got other options.
