Every year, genre fans look to Austin, Texas, to see what Fantastic Fest has in store. The fest highlights what horror, sci-fi, schlock, and wholly unique movies are worth buzzing about throughout the rest of the year. This year’s festival takes place Sept. 22-12, and so with the festivities kicking off imminently, here are some movies we’re looking forward to seeing in the next week.

Piggy, directed by Carlota Martinez-Pereda

Sara is an overweight teen who’s constantly bullied for her physical appearance. After being terrorized by the group of girls who torture her daily, Sara happens to see them get kidnapped by a strange man. Will she let her enemies suffer with their kidnapper, or will she come clean about what she saw? This deliciously tricky dilemma seems like the perfect kind of throughline for a Fantastic Fest feature, with the teaser trailer (full of moments highlighting the plot without giving too much away, as well as some peeks at the blood and violence in the film) selling us on something suspenseful but darkly fun, too.
