Patient 27 (2014) (Original Title: Paciente 27) Plot: Cesar is a struggling worker who accepts a temporary job in a sterile, clinical laboratory. Tasked with routine monitoring, he begins to notice unsettling occurrences regarding a specific, unseen patient identified only by the number 27. As Cesar observes the strange treatments and the clinical coldness of his superiors, he is plagued by severe insomnia and vivid hallucinations.

The Jogger (2013) Plot: Paul is a hard-working husband and father whose life is fraying at the edges due to marital tension and a manipulative best friend. One evening, he heads out for a routine jog to clear his head, but the run turns into a desperate fight for survival when a mysterious, knife-wielding madman in a car begins relentlessly stalking him. As Paul races through the woods to get back to his family before the killer reaches them, the film utilizes a fractured narrative—jumping between the intense chase and vignettes of Paul’s life—to reveal the dark secrets and betrayals that led to this nightmarish confrontation.

Gemini said Grindhouse Nightmares (2017) Plot: This film is a horror anthology that pays homage to the gritty, low-budget "exploitation" cinema of the 1970s and 80s. The movie is framed as a double feature introduced by a creepy host. It consists of four distinct, blood-soaked segments: a tale of a mad scientist performing gruesome experiments, a story about a hitchhiker who picks up the wrong person, a segment featuring a vengeful spirit, and a final piece involving a cannibalistic cult. Each segment is intentionally "aged" with digital scratches, film grain, and missing frames to replicate the aesthetic of a decaying 35mm print found in a rundown grindhouse theater.

Gemini said Kwento (2025) Plot: Kwento, a celebrated young soccer hero in his small town, finds his life upended when he accidentally witnesses a crime he wasn't meant to see. Suddenly, he is thrust into a surreal and terrifying odyssey of fear, betrayal, and murder. With his reputation shattered and his life at stake, he is forced to go into hiding from a relentless Yakuza mafia cell operating within the region. The film follows his desperate struggle to survive in the shadows while trying to reclaim the truth of his story.

Plot: Sophie, a mother struggling with inner demons, takes her daughter Roselee to a secluded lakeside cabin in Oregon for a weekend of bonding and relaxation. However, the retreat quickly spirals into a surreal nightmare as Sophie begins suffering from agonizing migraines, memory loss, and vivid, horrific hallucinations. While they encounter strange locals—including a bizarrely close brother-and-sister duo—it becomes clear that the greatest threat is within the house itself. As Sophie descends into a violent mental breakdown, a shocking twist reveals that the "secluded getaway" is actually a fractured manifestation of a past trauma involving a locked room and a hidden act of vengeance.

Best of Trades (2025) Plot: Miles is a straight-laced, by-the-book private investigator who finds himself in over his head when he is hired by Walter Doyle, the powerful son of a wealthy Houston oil family. Doyle needs an heirloom recovered—specifically a watch—before a family burial, or he risks losing a massive inheritance. To get the job done, Miles is forced into an unlikely partnership with Jakoby, a reckless ex-con who uses unconventional, "street-seasoned" methods. As the duo navigates the criminal underbelly of Houston, the mismatched partners must learn to work together to survive a conspiracy that even their wealthy client didn't see coming.
