The Netflix Gods are at it again with all these treats for us! The only thing that could make August any better would be if the sun would stay out for longer than the occasional day but that’s very doubtful in the UK, so instead let’s just focus on the joy that these new releases will bring…

In the Shadow of the Moon

Information about this upcoming political thriller film has remained tightly sealed. We’re not entirely sure what to expect other than knowing that they’ve pulled together a pretty strong cast including Michael C. Hall and Boyd Holbrook. Perhaps the mystery surrounding this film is all part of the experience as the director, Jim Mickle only reveal is that ‘the script is such a great mind-bender’.
