Shout out to Jordan Peele’s Us, which is absolutely slaying at the box office ($100 million so far!?). It’s certainly going to be tough to top last month with a showing like that, but April does have something exciting in store—the Pet Sematary remake from Starry Eyes duo Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer. That’s about as exciting of a pairing as you could hope for a Stephen King adaptation. But not only do we have that to look forward to, but there’s a few indie films that look just as promising. Go ahead, take a look:
