On Friday nights, IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.
In October 2024, we’re doing the Midnight Movie Monster Mash with films that challenge our understanding of evil characters and creatures just in time for Halloween.
First, read the spoiler-free Bait: a weird and wonderful pick from any time in film. Then, come back for the Bite: a breakdown of all the spoiler-y bits you’d want to unpack when exiting a theater.
The Bait: A Meta Slasher That Should Be a Genre Standard
There comes a time in every internet writer’s life when they must make the dreaded Public Apology. For me, this is that day, and to my beloved After Dark loyalists, I am sorry. You’ll have to excuse me for not crying on camera, but the tragedy of the truth is too much to bear: “Popcorn” is unavailable to stream.

The Bentonville Film Festival capped off its second annual event this past weekend with a softball game, featuring many members of a team that filmgoers know well: The Rockford Peaches from "A League of Their Own."
Arkansas Online reported that the Peaches reunion was spearheaded by Geena Davis, who played catcher Dottie Hinson in the 1992 flick about the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Davis, who co-founded the film festival in 2015 to highlight female and diverse filmmakers, gathered her former castmates on Sunday at Arkansas's Arvest Ballpark for a spirited game to celebrate the festival's wrap -- and stir up some friendly competition, too.
