This month, he’s looking to go three-for-three with this harrowing drama. Julia Roberts and 12 Years a Slave’s Chiwetel Ejiofor play a pair of FBI agents named Jess and Ray whose partnership swiftly unravels when they stumble upon the murder of Jess’s teen daughter — a crime which goes unsolved. Thirteen years later, however, a break in the case brings them back together, and puts Jess on the path to vengeance.

Teenager Max (American Horror Story's Taissa Farmiga) is still grieving the death of her mother (Malin Akerman) — a former scream queen — when she’s cajoled by her best friend’s nerdy brother (scene-stealer Thomas Middleditch of HBO's Silicon Valley) into being the guest of honour at a showing of one of mom’s old movies.
But right as the clothes start to drop and the blood starts to flow onscreen, Max and her friends find themselves sucked into the film itself and must band together with mom and the flick’s other amusingly clueless characters to survive not only the hulking killer, but the clichés that make surviving such a film nearly impossible.

In 1971, Stanford psychology professor Philip Zimbardo (Billy Crudup) conducted one of the most infamous experiments in human behaviour to date. Setting up a makeshift prison in the psych department’s basement, he selected 24 male students (played by Hollywood up-and-comers Tye Sheridan, Michael Angarano and Ezra Miller), divided them up into prisoners and guards, and gave the latter complete control of the former. In less than a week, Zimbardo and his subject learns some hard lessons about humanity's capacity for cruelty.
