This twisty original thriller was the talk of the summer, impressing critics and audiences alike with a Rashomon-like take on a suburban American genre story. When all but one child from the same grade-school class mysteriously vanishes on the same night, at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance. Emerging director Zach Cregger (Barbarian) uniquely builds suspense through perspective-shifting chapters, each one more mystifying and terrifying than the last—until the arrival of the film’s best effect: Amy Madigan’s audacious Aunt Gladys, in a performance that’s already earned her a Golden Globe nomination and NYFCC win for Best Supporting Actress.
