Our weekly look at what’s weird in theaters, on hot-off-the-presses DVDs, and on more distant horizons…
Trailers of new release movies are generally available at the official site links.
IN THEATERS (LIMITED RELEASE):
A Ghost Story: Casey Affleck (under a sheet with eye holes) stars as Rooney Mara’s deceased hubby, helplessly watching her from the afterlife. A slightly surreal Sundance hit reuniting David Lowery with the stars of Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. A Ghost Story official site.

What are you looking forward to? If you have any weird movie leads that I have overlooked, feel free to leave them in the COMMENTS section.
Stalker, Stalker, Stalker… my goodness.
I’m a fan of Tarkovsky, but it seems the fellow’s almost hit the mainstream. A special screening of any Aleksei German’s films, now that would be something.
