Directed by Ariel Vromen, "Criminal," stars Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones, Gal Gadot, Alice Eve, Natalie Burn and Ryan Reynolds. The film recounts the events that occur after a dead CIA operative's memories, secrets and skills are implanted into a death-row inmate in hopes that he will complete the operative's mission.

Psychologist Peter Bower tragically loses his daughter in a traffic accident. While he copes with the guilt and sorrow, Peter discovers a strange secret about his patients. After piecing together their recounts, he discovers they are the ghosts of people who died on the same day 20 years ago. Starring Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody along with George Shevtsov, Robin McLeavy and Sam Neill, the thriller was directed by Michael Petroni.

The Other Side of the Door

Starring Sarah Wayne Callies, Jeremy Sisto, Javier Botet and Sofia Rosinsky, this film is about a woman who learns about a ritual that will bring her dead son back to life.
