‘Ricky’

A young man just out of prison navigates a world of booby traps. Stephan James brilliantly plays the title character in a powerful drama that knows the ways of both injustice and self-sabotage.
‘Hokum’

Adam Scott plays a bitter American writer trapped in a haunted Irish hotel in Damian McCarthy's unnerving but overstuffed spine-chiller.
