It’s that time of year: Before long, we’ll be hearing all about the buzzy films landing big distribution deals out of Sundance ... and some of them have a distinctively genre slant.

In addition to all those future award-winning indie think pieces that'll catch most of the attention, there's a healthy helping of sharp genre flicks debuting this week at Sundance Film Festival 2014.

From horror comedies to supernatural thrillers, there’s more than enough going on in Park City to keep us entertained and watching the wires for which of these fine flicks will be coming to a cineplex/art house theater/streaming service near us.
