Quite possibly the coolest concept for a horror movie to come out in years, Redux Redux wastes nothing in telling a tale of grief, revenge, and connection across the multiverse. An absolute gem of indie filmmaking with excellent performances and world building.

REDUX REDUX: Holy hell I’ve closed out #SXSW w/ an absolute banger. I don’t even want to spoil anything about it but mom getting revenge on the serial killer who took her daughter over & over again. Brutal, smart, efficient, evocative score, great cast/characters. Adored this McManus Brothers joint.
