Welcome to week 29 of 2026, Belgian film fans! The screens are bursting with a wild mix this week: from a Parisian gym-queen fighting a virus that turns gay men straight, to a piano tuner with a secret talent for cracking safes, and even a return to the Evil Dead cabin. Grab your popcorn—here’s your essential cinema guide.
Jim Queen (7.95/10) – The highest-rated film this week is a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt animated comedy. In a near-future Paris, a mysterious virus called Heterosis sweeps through the gay scene, turning everyone straight. Enter Jim, the six-packed sovereign of the Gym Queens, who must save his community. Did you know? The voice cast includes several actual queer comedians from the Parisian cabaret scene, lending authentic punchlines to the script.
The Furious (7.51/10) – If you need a shot of pure action adrenaline, look no further. After his daughter is kidnapped and the police ignore him, Wang Wei takes justice into his own hands. It’s a gritty, no-holds-barred revenge thriller that doesn’t let up. Behind the scenes: The lead actor performed 90% of his own stunts, including a breathtaking chase through a Bangkok market.
Evil Dead Burn (7.04/10) – Horror fans, rejoice! This latest entry in the Evil Dead franchise flips the script: a grieving widow seeks comfort at her in-laws’ house, only for them to turn into Deadites one by one. The folks at Ghost House Pictures revealed that the film’s most gruesome scene was filmed in a single take—using practical effects only.
Other notable screenings: Toy Story 5 (7.42/10) sees Bonnie addicted to a tablet, forcing the toys to adapt in a clever commentary on screen time. For indie lovers, DJ Ahmet (7.04/10) is a touching Macedonian drama about a teen finding solace in music. And if you’re in the mood for nostalgia, Masters of the Universe (6.9/10) brings Prince Adam back to a shattered Eternia.
Our top picks: Start with Jim Queen for a laugh with a brain, then The Furious for pure catharsis. If you dare, end your night with Evil Dead Burn—but keep the lights on.
