Programmer's Pick

Julie Darling is not your average family drama—it’s a cold-blooded tale where a teenager’s guilt turns into a merciless vendetta. With Isabelle Mejias in the title role and Sybil Danning as the ill-fated stepmother, this English-language thriller serves up familial revenge with a distinctly European edge.
