Rona (Saoirse Ronan in a deeply committed performance), fresh out of rehab, returns to Scotland's wild and evocative Orkney Islands after more than a decade away. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her childhood merge with the more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery. With THE OUTRUN, Saoirse Ronan reminds us why she's one of the greatest working actresses, in this moving tale of overcoming one's demons and learning to savor life as it comes.

In this new restoration of the seminal 1980s folk horror gem, a rogue 18th century preacher and his followers attempt to establish a settlement beyond the western frontier. But when they encounter a not-so-enchanted forest filled with evil spirits, the group exchanges happiness for apocalyptic madness. EYES OF FIRE is a dreamlike hallucination that combines arthouse surrealism, gonzo creature effects, and ambitious symbolism to build a truly haunting experience. Fans of THE WITCH take note. Highly recommended.
