It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley | Rent on Prime Video | Music, documentary

Movie, Tuesday, August 26: “How would you like your fans to think of you?” an interviewer asks Jeff Buckley in Amy Berg’s documentary about the late singer-songwriter. “Just the music,” he responded. “‘Cause when I’m dead, that’s the only thing that’ll be around.” Buckley’s magical songs—especially those from his lone studio album, Grace (1994)—have endured long past his tragic, untimely death in 1997. But he left more than music in his wake, namely the passionate tributes he inspired. I’m talking about scores of slobbery record reviews and essays and books—and this movie. Buckley’s gone, but his influence is never-ending.

The Movies That Made Shudder Watch Party: When Evil Lurks and The Sadness | Shudder | Horror

Movies, Friday, August 29, 9:00 p.m. ET: The latest watch party celebrating Shudder’s 10-year anniversary is a doozy of a double-feature. Demián Rugna’s When Evil Lurks treats demonic possession like an infectious disease, resulting in a timely body-horror nightmare. The Sadness, by Rob Jabbaz, is also timely in that it’s about an out-of-control virus that turns people into rabid, raging zombies. What makes these films timely, you ask? I’ll bet you can guess.
