Popcorn Frights 2019, Day 7: Paradise Hills (2019) and Knives and Skin (2019)

It was ladies' night at Popcorn Frights on their seventh day, with two films both directed by women and built heavily around their female characters. Unusually, it was also a night where neither film was what one could call a horror movie, even if both were horror-adjacent; one was a sci-fi thriller, the other a Lynchian teen drama. I'm not complaining; both were pretty damn good.

First up, it's Emma Roberts vs. Stepford...
