The Tribeca Festival is nearly underway, taking place June 9 to June 20 with a feature slate that includes 109 feature films from across the globe, including 88 world premieres.
The festival’s 21st edition offers a hybrid experience of virtual and in-person, which includes a slew of genre premieres available to screen at home through individual tickets. That entails the New York premiere of Scott Derrickson‘s The Black Phone (review), repertory screenings of cult classics Basket Case, Ms. 45, and more.
Here are six genre titles we can’t wait to see at this year’s Tribeca fest.
