00:00Welcome to The Weekend in 60 Seconds. I'm Kelsey and I've curated your weekend lineup so you don't have to.
00:05For my horror film buffs, it's a good time to go to the movies.
00:09Backrooms hit theaters last week and Peter Bradshaw and The Guardian said it is icily brilliant and genuinely disturbing.
00:15When a struggling furniture store owner discovers a door that appears in the basement of the showroom,
00:19he enters into another dimension, one he can't seem to escape from.
00:23His therapist goes looking for him only to get sucked into the never-ending loop of hidden rooms.
00:27Next in the lineup is Cape Fear.
00:30The Apple TV series just released this week, and Variety calls it a worthy and disturbing psychological thriller.
00:35It's the most recent adaptation of John D. McDonald's novel, The Executioners.
00:39The show follows a man who was released from prison and seeks revenge after being wrongly accused of murdering his
00:44pregnant wife.
00:45If you don't do anything else, just make sure you're prepared to be on the edge of your sense.
00:48And what's a good lineup without a little escapism?
00:50If you have some time this weekend, make sure you check out Maggie O'Girl's novel, Land.
00:54As Slate puts it, it's both artful and canny.
00:57Set in Ireland, the story explores the connection between family, place, and memory,
01:01as the country deals with the aftermath of the Great Famine.
01:03And that's your Weekend in 60 Seconds.
