Buffaloed
Buffaloed is a comedy about a teenage girl named Peg Dahl, played by Zoey Deutch (The Politician, Set It Up) who becomes obsessed with making enough money to get herself away from Buffalo, NY. She gets accepted to her dream college out of state, but realizes she can't afford the tuition. After getting scammed by a debt collector, Peg attempts to cheat the system.
Directed by Tanya Wexler, Buffaloed also stars Judy Greer, Jai Courtney, Noah Reid, and Jermaine Fowler.
Color Out of Space
Richard Stanley's return to directing has been a hit amongst fans of horror, H.P. Lovecraft, and Nicolas Cage. The film tells the story of Nathan Gardner (Cage) and his family after a meteorite brings a mutant organism to their front yard, infecting both their bodies and their minds.
Starring alongside Cage in Color Out of Space is Joely Richardson, Tommy Chong, Madeleine Arthur, and Brendan Meyer.
The Lighthouse
Most of these titles either had small theatrical releases, or didn't get into any theaters at all. That's not the case with The Lighthouse, as it was one of the more popular indie films in 2019. It does make this list for three reasons, though.
1. It's one of the strangest movies you'll ever see. Period. 2. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe are trapped in a house and drive each other crazy, which makes this movie the best and worst thing to watch right now. 3. The Lighthouse is currently on sale for just $6.99 on iTunes.
Swallow
Swallow is another wild ride of a film, but critics have been raving about it since it was released on VOD and in select theaters early this month. Haley Bennett stars as a pregnant woman who develops a compulsion to consume inedible objects.
If you're looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat, Swallow is it.
The Jesus Rolls
Listen, The Jesus Rolls is really not a movie for everyone. There are a wide variety of controversial topics and themes throughout this movie, some of which may not be handled in the best of ways. But this movie is the closest thing we'll ever get to a Big Lebowski sequel, and that makes it worth watching for many movie fans.
John Turturro directed this film in addition to starring as The Jesus, the scene-stealing bowler from The Big Lebowski. Bobby Cannavale, Audrey Tautou, Jon Hamm, Christopher Walken, Pete Davidson, and Susan Sarandon also star.
