Just two weeks later, on June 20, acclaimed directors Danny Boyle and Alex Garland unveil a zombie movie that has already gathered significant buzz among fans of the genre.
Monday’s lineup also includes Bring Her Back, a horror film from Danny and Michael Philippou, scheduled for May 30, which is expected to be even scarier than their previous project, Talk to Me.
