“Desperate Scams” (Queenpins)
New horror movie from James Wang and Russian breakthrough: what to watch in cinema from September 9
“Desperate Scams” is based on a true story when a couple of housewives were able to cheat the American system for several million dollars using fake shopping coupons. The swindlers were played by Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptist, and the detectives on their case were Vince Vaughn and Paul Walter Hauser. The film was shot in the comedy genre, so you shouldn’t expect any criminal details on this case.

They come up with a clever scheme involving the use of fake coupons, which lack the protective mechanisms of the funds. As a result, ordinary pieces of paper turn into millions of dollars. The girls now have it all – fancy clothes, cool cars, a private jet, and a couple of detectives on the tail, dreaming of stopping the use of fake coupons.

Another horror film (which is more of a mystical thriller), but this time from a more modest director. David Bruckner directed a pretty solid horror film for Netflix in 2017, Ritual. Now he has a slightly larger budget at his disposal, an actress of the first magnitude – Rebecca Hall, and a more interesting idea. At least from the trailer, it looks like something out of the ordinary can be expected from The House on the Other Side.
