This is a month for laughs, some scares, a dash of action, and a pinch of nostalgic throwback. Check out the 6 movies we’re most looking forward to catch on the big screens this month:
#1 Dukun
Release date: 5 April
Cast: Umie Aida, Faizal Hussein, Adlin Aman Ramli, Namron, Sofi Jikan
What is it about: Dukun is loosely based on the true story of a singer-turned- bomoh who was involved in the homicide of a former politician in 1993.
Why you should watch it: This controversial movie was filmed in 2006—that’s 12 years ago—but was only given the green light to be released recently. There’s already drama even before the movie made its debut… this has to be a scarily good sign!
#2 A Quiet Place
Release date: 5 April
Cast: John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, Millicent Simmonds
What is it about: A Quiet Place is set in world that has been invaded by strange creatures that are attracted to any kind of sound. In the middle of the chaos is a family of 4 that must survive deep in the woods without making a single sound.
Why you should watch it: Reviews have been positive for this horror film, and rightfully so! The concept of the movie is fresh and captivating—it’s bound to keep you on the edge of your seat!
#3 Rampage
Release date: 19 April
Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Naomie Harris, Malin Akerman, Joe Manganiello, Jake Lacy
What is it about: In Rampage, we’re introduced to George, an albino silverback gorilla that is being cared for by primatologist, Davis Okoye. However, a genetic experiment transforms gentle George into an enormous monster, along with a wolf and a crocodile. The three animals go on a rampage, and David must now save George and the world before it’s too late.
Why you should watch it: For Dwayne Johnson, duh! Having him in the movie—even if it turns out to be bad—makes it worth the cinema ticket. We mean, look at that hot bod!
#4 Goodbye Christopher Robin
Release date: 19 April
Cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie, Kelly Macdonald, Alex Lawther
What is it about: It’s based on the life of Winnie the Pooh author AA Milne, who began writing stories about the growing collection of stuffed toys his son, Christopher Robin, had when they moved from the city to the English countryside.
Why you should watch it: It’ll be interesting to see how fame and fortune can affect the relationship in a family, even when it’s seemingly harmless at first. Plus, everybody loves Winnie the Pooh!
#5 Gringo
Release date: 19 April
Cast: David Oyelowo, Joel Edgerton, Amanda Seyfried, Charlize Theron, Thandie Newton
What is it about: Sent to Mexico by his company to hand-deliver a revolutionary weed pill, down-on-his-luck Harold is abducted and finds himself in the middle of a scuffle between his business partners, Mexican drug cartels, and the law.
Why you should watch it: It looks pretty hilarious, and it’s been a while since we’ve seen the cast members on the big screen. Besides, Avengers: Infinity Wars is still a week away, so we need something to kill time with.
