Sophia Takal"s Always Shine (2016) releases in movie theaters on November 25, 2016. This film is a thriller movie that looks very creepy and like a countdown to the death of the "popular friend." Interesting to sum up the film in a single word. Mackenzie Davis, Caitlin FitzGerald, and Lawrence Michael Levine star in Always Shine.
