Written and directed by Ivan Kavanagh, 2021’s Son is one of the most fascinating works of psychological horror I’ve seen recently, and I feel it should be getting a lot more recognition.

Anchor Bay was once a major outlet for both cult classics and oddities before streaming and Blu-ray boutiques were in the picture.
