Also new is The Godfather of Gore, a documentary about horror film provocateur Herschell Gordon Lewis, whose subversive exploitation films were the first "gore" movies, staples of the drive-in circuit of the 1960s, and a continuing influence on horror movies through the decades.
Narrated by Helena Bonham Carter, the animated The Gruffalo is the story of a mouse (James Corden) who has to outwit a variety of predators as he makes his way to a faraway hazelnut tree, making up a creature called a "gruffalo" to threaten the animals who would eat him... until he meets a real gruffalo, and has to outwit him, too.
