You’ll Never Find Me
A middle-aged man named Patrick (Rock) is spending an evening in his trailer alone one rainy night when he hears a knock on his door. He greets a young, barefooted woman (Cowan) who has just come from the beach and got caught in the storm. Patrick is immediately suspicious, as they are miles
away from the nearest beach. When he lets her in despite concluding that the woman is lying to him about where she came from and what her intentions are, their initial mild-mannered interactions quickly devolve into hostile accusations.

Monster High 2
Upon entering her sophomore year, Clawdeen Wolf (Harris) has become extremely popular since she rescued her high school from the clutches of Edward “Eddy” Hyde Jr. (Selig), a fact that she is immensely unhappy about. With the new school year also comes new challenges for Clawdeen and her friends Draculaura (Damasen) and Frankie Stein (Balagot) as they navigate growing up and developing new powers. Clawdeen’s new-found popularity comes in handy when she runs for prefect, a position her mother held and which Clawdeen would use to ensure that witches and half-humans will continue to be welcome at Monster High. However, a centuriesold rivalry between witches and vampires soon resurfaces, jeopardizing the established peace and order of Monster High and threatening the livelihoods of humans and monsters alike.

After the bodies of several women are unearthed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the chief of police in Albuquerque, Chief Carter (Jackson), calls in FBI Agent Petrovick (Gibson) to help them locate a serial killer. Petrovick deduces that the killer they are after is mission-motivated in his killings and that he feels justified in whom he targets, believing he is making the world a better place. Both Carter and Petrovick soon realize that not only are they searching for a meticulous and methodical breed of serial killer with a god complex, but they are possibly dealing with one of their own men.
