    The Abdication

    ★★

    Plodding historical drama of what happened to Sweden’s Queen Christina when she abdicated to convert to Catholicism. Finch is the cardinal who must test her sincerity and with whom she falls in love.

  • Abby

    Abby

    ★★½

    Not-bad black variation on The Exorcist. Speed, wife of minister Carter and daughter-in-law of minister Marshall, is the possessed Abby. Out of circulation for years because of a lawsuit that claimed it was a ripoff of The Exorcist.

    The Abandoned

    ★★½

    American adoptee gets trapped in an endless labyrinth of horror when, after receiving a mysterious invitation, she returns to Russia to learn more about her roots. In her dank, oppressively creepy childhood home, she must confront various evil forces, a murderous clone, and the disturbing secrets of her past. Anybody looking for a coherent narrative will find this throwback to surreal Euro-horror films of the ’70s maddening. Fails to build fear and tension, but Cerdà fills the screen with enough gorgeous, chilling imagery to satisfy fans of nonlinear horror fare.

    Aaron Loves Angela

    ★★★

    New York-made variation on Romeo and Juliet set in Harlem, with black boy (Kevin) in love with Puerto Rican girl (Cara). OK combination of comedy, drama, violence, and Feliciano’s music.
