Although there aren’t many releases this month, March still has a lot to look forward to. Starting with the absurd and twisted looking indie Swallow (featured on Cheap Thrills) and ending with another stand-out indie in Vivarium, which looks like it could be a sleeper genre-hit, March certainly has plenty to offer. Most notably, however, is the release of John Krasinki’s A Quiet Place Part II is, which is one of 2020’s most anticipated horror movies, so plenty to be excited about. Let’s jump in!

March Highlights
Oh, these are cool releases. I saw the trailer for Saint Maud and it looks so promising! I’m also quite excited about Vivarium, which seems like a novel concept.
Couldn’t agree more. Saint Maud looks awesome but seems like no one is talking about it? That seems weird to me considering it’s an A24 release. Vivarium looks awesome, too. Great concept!
Looks like a good crop, even if the releases aren’t as numerous as other months. I”m really curious to see where they go with A Quiet Place II.
Loved the first film, but you know how sequels go – hit or miss. Excited either way!
