"XX" (Feb. 17) is an anthology of four horror stories, The Rolling Stone reports. Each short film has different themes. In "The Box", Christmas brings a deadly curse. "Birthday Party" reignites childhood nightmares. "The Fall" is going to explore some demon-in-the-woods tales. "Her Only Living Son" will bring a story that's a nod to the 60s horror.

"A Cure for Wellness" (Feb. 17) strikes fear into the hearts of retreat center enthusiasts. A corporate worker goes to a strange wellness center to retrieve the company's CEO and instead encounters strange and terrifying events.

"Get Out" (Feb. 24) is a horror movie about a black young man who meets his white girlfriend's parents. The ethnic issues are important in this eerie film, which hints at some disturbing hypnotism practices.
