🩸 This week on The Reel Study, our Women’s History Month celebration continues as we spotlight director Nia DaCosta with a chilling horror double feature:
Candyman (2021) and
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. From a haunting reimagining of an iconic urban legend to a terrifying new chapter in a post-apocalyptic nightmare, these films showcase DaCosta’s bold visual style and her ability to bring fresh perspective, social commentary, and emotional depth to modern horror.
Before the main discussion, catch up on The Reel News for a rapid rundown of the week’s biggest stories: a quick 2026 Oscars recap, fresh trailers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Dune: Part Three, the passing of Nicholas Brendon, Michaela Coel signing on to write and direct A24’s Bloodsport, and rumors of Tom Cruise circling a villain role in Miami Vice.
Then stick around for Reel Roundup, where the panel shares spoiler‑free reactions to new releases: AllTheMovieThings reviews
Project Hail Mary, JeannineDaBean dives into
