The heroine of Goran Stolevski’s You Won’t Be Alone is a witch, with echoes of vampire and zombie, yes, but mostly with a haunting desire for human connection in 19th century rural Macedonia.
The film’s Sundance premiere got great reviews (see Deadline’s here). It’s 94 Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh with critics as Focus Features opens Stolevski’s debut feature on 147 carefully curated screens.
You Won’t Be Alone is subtitled and its narrator, the witch Nevena, grew up alone in a cave with a limited grasp of language.
Nevena (Sara Klimoska) is freed from her cave by a hideously deformed evil spirit called the Wolf-Eatress, or Old Maid Maria (Anamaria Marinca), who grows increasingly vengeful as they wander the mountainside and...

"There's only room for one alpha dog in this town!" Samuel Goldwyn Films has revealed an official trailer for Dakota, another new dog movie about an ex-service dog who makes some new friends. There's also the other dog movie literally just called Dog playing in theaters now. This next movie centers on Kate, a widow who lost her husband in the war in Afghanistan and is struggling to maintain her small-town farm with her daughter while also running the local volunteer fire department. Dakota, the dog, returns from the war to be with the family and quickly adjusts to her new home, becoming somewhat of a local hero as she settles in. This stars Abbie Cornish, Lola Sultan, Tim Rozon, Patrick Muldoon, Roberto Davide, and Billy Baldwin. This looks like a much cheesier version of Dog, a Hallmark movie special about saving the farm. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Kirk Harris' Dakota,...
