Four movies to see this weekend: “Ghostbusters,” “Holy Hell,” “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” and “Messiah of Evil”

“Ghostbusters” Come on, you know you want to.
“Hunt for the Wilderpeople.” Director Taika Waititi’s “What We Do in the Shadows” was one of the canniest horror-comedies anyone had seen in years, so it’s excellent to learn that he can also do sweet, funny, family action movie. “Hunt” concerns about a city kid adjusting to life with a new foster family in rural New Zealand. Starring Sam Neil and Julian Dennison, it’s currently rocking a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 80% on Metacritic. At area theaters.
“Holy Hell.” Director Will Allen, who will be part of a panel following the screening, documented his insane 22-year experience in a New Age religious sect called Buddhafield. “Holy Hell” tells the whole story, from the spiritual highs to the abuse of power and control. 7 to 9 p.m. July 15, 7 to 9 p.m. July 20. $7-$10. AFS Cinema, 6226 Middle Fiskville Road. austinfilm.org.
“Messiah of Evil.” This atmospheric, scary and beautiful film is exactly as if Antonioni and George Romero made a zombie movie together. 9:45 to 11:45 p.m. July 15. $7-$10. AFS Cinema, 6226 Middle Fiskville Road. austinfilm.org.
