Nanny (2022)
Jordan Peele and Nia DaCosta are at the helm of this gripping slasher. A sequel to the 1992 film of the same name, Candyman tackles issues such as gentrification and police brutality.

Coherence is a huge favorite here at CNET and it’s a terrifying watch. Not necessarily in the traditional, gory, horrific sense but more in terms of the concepts. It’s a multiverse movie released before multiverses were cool and is not what you expect. Coherence is the kind of movie you’ll finish and immediately rewatch to try to rewire your brain. It’s a fantastic achievement and a must watch.
