If you're looking for a movie with some critical acclaim backing it up this weekend, we recommend giving Rust Creek from IFC Films a go.

In her review for Collider, Haleigh Foutch gave the movie a B, saying, "By taking the time to breathe life into these characters, Rust Creek makes a unique and worthwhile entry in the genre that puts a premium on heart and humanity over horror."
