Siuquxe movies notes some good films coming up in 2016, so I thought I would repost a few of these over the next few days. This is more sci-fi/thriller than horror, but it still looks intriguing.
Synopsis from the review: “In this mind-bending ‘Sci-Fi Noir’ a daring physicist folds time to travel into the past, trying to stop a mysterious woman from stealing his invention. But once there, he uncovers a surprising truth about the machine, the woman, and his own fractured reality.“

Mad Love aka The Hands of Orlac

Here is a brief review of a long-forgotten Peter Lorre movie that sounds very interesting based upon critiques of the time and the modern-day reviews. I will probably be seeking this one out.
The reviewer’s concise description of the plot is at the best inadequate. He doesn’t mention what relation Stephen Orlac is to Yvonne Orlac (brother? husband?) and he doesn’t even allude to what Orlac does with his new-found ability with knives, though I suppose we are to guess that he uses them against Dr. Gogol in some fashion. He probably could have done better.

Source: FIRST-LOOK TEASER TRAILER: “THE WORLD OF KANAKO” From DRAFTHOUSE FILMS
“Drafthouse Films will release Tetsuya Nakashima’s acclaimed thriller The World of Kanako in select theaters on December 4th, as well as making it available on multiple digital VOD platforms including Amazon Instant, iTunes, Vimeo, and VHX. A home video release on Blu-ray and DVD is slated for early 2016.
“An uncompromising revenge thriller of operatic scope, The World of Kanako is a non-stop visual and emotional assault to the senses as it follows troubled ex-detective Akikazu (Kôji Yakusho, 13 Assassins, Babel) on the hunt for his missing teenage daughter, Kanako. What he discovers in his search is an unsettling and harrowing web of depravity––surrounding both Kanako and himself. As Akizaku stumbles along a shocking trail of drugs, sex and violence, he finds himself woefully unprepared for the revelations that affect all he holds dear.” (Description from horrorunderground.org)
