There are movies I am looking forward to this year and there are Movies I Am Looking Forward To This Year, and Jennifer Kent's long long long awaited follow-up to The Babadook called The Nightingale sits atop the latter -- ever since it caused men to toss themselves into the ocean clutching their hearts at Venice last year I have been on fire with desire. Well I don't have that much longer to burn now, as IFC has just announced an August 2nd release date for NYC & LA, and also dropped a poster & trailer. And the trailer is goooood. Watch:

Put August 2nd in your calendars, everybody! Here's the poster:
