The Sleepless
In a near-future New York City, where people have lost the need for sleep, a journalist searches for the truth behind his boss’s murder—while his own Sleeplessness spirals out of control.
Escape Velocity
In this twisty, genre-bending thriller, a decades-old murder looms over the glamorous clientele of a high-end space hotel . . . while an unforeseen threat percolates in the service corridors.
Dead Note
A killer's greatest hit starts with a song in this gripping race-against-time thriller set in the gritty streets of Manila, based on the real-life “My Way” Karaoke Killings.
The Villa, Once Beloved
Some legacies are best left buried, but a dark history is unearthed amid crumbling façades in this new gothic tale of homecoming and postcolonial vengeance.
