What to watch...

The Red Riding Trilogy screened at the Telluride and New York film festivals and opened in New York on February 5 at the IFC Center. There is a national release also following but if watching a three part film over the course of five hours is not something you can stomache than watch it on IFC channel's video on demand.

Described by Apple Movie Trailers as "a mesmerizing neo-noir epic based on factual events and adapted for the screen by Tony Grisoni (FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS) from David Peace’s electrifying series of novels revolving around the manhunt for the “Yorkshire Ripper,” a serial killer who terrorized northwest England in the 1970s and ’80s. The three films are directed by three notable filmmakers—Julian Jarrold (BRIDESHEAD REVISITED), James Marsh (MAN ON WIRE) and Anand Tucker (SHOPGIRL)."

Check out the trailers below & make sure to catch the trilogy in theaters or on demand:
