     Daisy works in content monitoring at Paladin, a harsh workplace with strict quotas, a martinet boss, and constant employee breakdowns. Trying to maintain her well-being, Daisy indulges in some numbing excess but nothing stops her increasing detachment. Until she can't just look away from one disturbingly violent video. An examination of modern disillusionment and digital detachment, American Sweatshop.
     Philip is forced to return to his childhood home and elderly uncle, Maurice, after an incident involving this spider-like representation of personal trauma marionette. Despite multiple attempts and a suffocating desperation to dispose of the nightmarish puppet, it always returns to him, in tact and close. Maurice torments a mentally crumbling and regressing Philip while the police search for a possible abductor. The feature debut of a cult comedian and author is a brutal and bleak look at the repercussions of abuse and trauma, Possum.
     A mysterious pyramid, showing details combining all the diverse pyramids on Earth, is found under an uninhabited Arctic island. Lex Woods is hired by Charles Bishop Weyland to guide a team of mercenaries and questionably competent scientists into the structure. Unfortunately, it turns out to be an elaborate interstellar hunting ground for the most dangerous organism and most skilled hunter in the galaxy. The sixth feature from both loved and hated genre filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson, Alien vs Predator.
