A carefree vacation to exotic Argentina turns into a sun-soaked nightmare for two young women who find themselves at the mercy of a cunning psychopath in this remake of director Robert Fuest's 1970 thriller. Stephanie (Amber Heard) and Ellie (Odette Yustman) are biking through the Argentinean countryside when they stop to spend the last night of their vacation in a secluded village. When darkness falls, the girls wander over to the nearest bar, where a handsome local charms Ellie while Stephanie heads back to the hotel to good night's sleep. But her rest is interrupted when Stephanie returns to the hotel with her new friend in tow, and a booze-fueled altercation ultimately leads the girls to miss their bus. The following day, Ellie leaves Stephanie alone in the countryside following a heated argument, and grows concerned when her traveling companion fails to meet her at a nearby restaurant shortly thereafter. In the wake of a chance meeting with American expatriate Michael (Karl Urban), whom she had previously seen getting into a minor altercation at the bar, Stephanie reports Ellie's disappearance to local policeman Calvo (César Vianco), who immediately dismisses her suspicions of foul play. Thankfully Michael displays a bit more concern than the local sheriff, and agrees to assist Stephanie in searching for Ellie. But now the more Stephanie confides in Michael, the more she begins to fear that he may have had something to do with Ellie's disappearance, and that by sticking with him she may be walking straight into his trap. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Argentine directors Christian Bernard and Flavio Nardini co-helm the bittersweet seriocomedy D-Graduated, which intersects a trio of tales from a 20th anniversary high school reunion. All are set during the same long evening and each observes alumni grappling with the costs of change. The film begins with former trophy couple Melina and Guido - once regarded by many as the class's best bet for a happy life - who later endured a singularly acrimonious split and now find themselves thrust back together, awkwardly, for the same event; a second tale follows former class bully Luis Maria, who had a life-changing experience reading the literature of Paulo Coelho and evolved from a foul, mean and vindictive monster into a sensitive guy; and the third substory observes Buenos Aires native Lito, who moved abroad and established himself in a lucrative career and affluent lifestyle but felt distanced from his origins. As the reunion materializes, it presents an opportunity for each individual to reconnect with the dashed hopes and lost dreams of youth. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
