NEW - Horror With Headphones and Minions in Hollywood

Steve Stebbing, film and entertainment critic, splits this week into two rounds. First, Canadian titles built for a long weekend at home. Then, what's actually worth the theatre seat right now.

Three Canadian Films Worth Your Canada Day
Undertone is the one Steve keeps coming back to: a Canadian horror film built on sound, picked up and finished by A24, following a paranormal podcast whose hosts start working through nine anonymous tapes until things start happening at home. Headphones required. Mile and Kicks is a Montreal coming-of-age story set during the Arcade Fire era, starring Barbie Ferreira as a music critic leaving Toronto for her first big shot. Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie is Matt Johnson making one of the funniest Canadian films in recent memory, using old web series footage to build something that somehow brushes up against Back to the Future copyright territory.

What's in Theatres Now
The Invite keeps its biggest reveals off the trailer, which Steve argues should become standard practice. Olivia Wilde directs Seth Rogen opposite Edward Norton and Penelope Cruz in a dinner party that dismantles itself. Enola Holmes 3 delivers exactly what the first two promised. Millie Bobby Brown is charming, Henry Cavill is reliable, and Philip Barantini, who directed Adolescence, makes a sharp pivot into action. Minions and Monsters exists. Trey Parker voices a small Cthulhu. That's the pitch.

Topics: Canadian films 2026, Undertone A24 horror, Mile and Kicks film, Minions Monsters Trey Parker, Enola Holmes 3
