The Skin I Live In, the latest from writer/director Pedro Almodovar, is going to be weeeeeird. I suppose we knew this from the logline: while plotting his revenge against the man who raped his daughter, a plastic surgeon (Antonio Banderas) imprisons and torments his partner (Elena Anaya) in an operating theater in his basement.

In The Fire trailer sees the return of Amber Heard in this 1890s period-piece horror arriving Friday, 13th October.
