The “Satanic Panic” era in the ‘80s is not the best time in our country’s history. That’s when an older generation believed that Satanism was running rampant and young kids who liked Dungeons & Dragons and heavy metal music were somehow responsible for horrific crimes. But it does make good fodder for TV series, such as “Hysteria.”

As seen in the teaser for “Hysteria,” the series features a small town in the ‘80s that is seemingly normal and quaint, but might very well be a location where the Devil decides to come back.

How far would you go to get one more chance to hold your missing son? That’s the question at the center of the new horror film, “From Black.” And let’s just say the answer to that question is much more extreme than you might imagine.

Roger Ebert once wrote, “just because something is not done anymore doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing,” when describing Norman Jewison’s irrepressible romantic comedy “Only You.” This same sentiment can be applied to Angus MacLachlan’s latest family dramedy, “A Little Prayer,” a welcome throwback to adult-oriented movie fare of yore like “On Golden Pond,” “Fried Green Tomatoes,” or “Passion Fish.

With this sharp satire, director Marianna Palka continues poking and prodding at the various phases of women’s lives. In her 2008 directorial debut “Good Dick,” she took aim at dating with its anti-romantic comedy approach. Her 2017 pitch-black offering “Bitch” explored the life of a stay-at-home mother and wife who is so fed up with her treatment by her cheating husband and misbehaving kids that she begins acting like a vicious dog.

The third outing in the “Pitch Perfect” franchise is like a pop song remix that retains some of what you love about the original, while throwing in an out-of-nowhere bridge and an unwelcome guest verse. “Pitch Perfect 3” has plenty of Rebel Wilson‘s Fat Amy, female bonding and a cappella covers of every song you love dancing to at weddings (“Cake by the Ocean,” anyone?), but it has an overloaded plot in its script from Kay Cannon and Mike White.

In a year where audiences have been cool on sequels, will “Pitch Perfect 3” sing the right tune? The breakout musical comedy has sustained two pictures, but the third installment is swinging for the fences, aiming for a holiday season release, and it’ll be interesting to see if moviegoers are ready for another song.

The massive ensemble this time around includes Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Hana Mae Lee, Ester Dean, Alexis Knapp, Chrissie Fit, Kelley Jakle, Shelley Regner, Elizabeth Banks, John Michael Higgins, John Lithgow, and Ruby Rose, with the story seeing The Bellas back together – out of school and on tour overseas, where more musical mayhem unfolds.

The Bellas are going global in the first official trailer for “Pitch Perfect 3,” directed by Trish Sie. While “Pitch Perfect” was rather delightful in the “don’t think too hard about the logistics” type of way, “Pitch Perfect 2” brought any issues from the first and more into the spotlight with ridiculous narrative pivots, casual racism, sexism and homophobia, and suffering from “too much” syndrome where they made everything bigger and louder than the first.
