Emily Beecham plays Maura, a British doctor who begins experiencing strange visions that unravel a complex mystery.

A lot of the most well-known movies from the 1990s haven’t aged very well. While a few are genuinely great and still enjoyable, many others are actually quite bad, yet people still seem to love them.
Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie doesn’t have a release date yet because of delays from both him and Lucasfilm.
