Synopsis

In the closed world of an elite Pennsylvania boarding school, Haldwell, the student body is run by five factions. Seventeen-year-old Selah Summers runs the most dom-inant group, the Spades, with unshakable poise, as they cater to the most classic of vices and supply students with coveted, illegal alcohol and pills. Tensions between the factions escalate, and when Selah’s best friend/right hand Maxxie becomes distracted by a new love, Selah takes on a protégée, enamored sophomore Palo-ma, to whom she imparts her wisdom on ruling the school. But with graduation looming and Paloma proving an impressively quick study, Selah’s fears turn sin-ister as she grapples with losing the control by which she defines herself.

VOD Releases: Promare has Promise

April 17th, 2020

Promare

It’s a much slower week for digital releases, with no major first-run releases to talk about. That said, there are some previous theatrical releases that are making it to digital this week, including Promare. This movie was a monster hit for an anime release late last year, so it could be the biggest release on this week’s chart. That said, anime fans will probably want to buy it on Blu-ray. More...
