Revisiting the summer-before-college frame of mind is a mixed bag. The New Works Festival ruminated on this cringeworthy, nostalgic and often painful time of life in three student-devised works, each immensely different in content and style. Produced by Dave Dalton and Doug Grissom, both playwrights and professors in the U.Va.

“Jigsaw” is the eighth installment of the “Saw” franchise. The eighth. That is not to say that eight installments is a lot for a horror franchise — it’s not. “Friday the 13th” produced 12 movies and “Halloween” spawned 10.

Director Christopher Landon and writer Scott Lobdell know audiences have seen “Happy Death Day” before. The initial premise inspires most viewers to assume, ‘oh, so it’s “Groundhog Day” crossed with “Scream?”’ Ultimately, “Happy Death Day” appears to be an homage to a growing trend of films that bank on the popularity of metacinema — think “Deadpool,” but more subtle.

“mother!” lures audiences in with cozy names like Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer only to remind them they are dealing with another familiar name — director Darren Aronofsky, the creator of “Requiem for a Dream” and “Black Swan.” Aronofsky’s technical skill is of unquestionably high caliber, but it is used to paint stories that perturb rather than please. Compared to the more successful summer box office horror hit, “It,” Aronofsky’s “mother!” is the one audiences will continue to think about — and be disturbed by — long after the credits roll.

In his new Netflix special “Louis C.K. 2017,” comedian Louis C.K. delivers the same masterful and somehow uplifting gloom fans of his dark humor love — but now he’s in a suit and tie. C.K. exchanges his usual casual clothes for something indicative of a freshness and maturity fans have not seen in full bloom before.

Whether “Beauty and the Beast” is a familiar “tale as old as time” is irrelevant. The live-action remake of the 1991 animated classic about a bookish girl named Belle (Emma Watson) who learns to love the prince-at-heart Beast (Dan Stevens) holding her prisoner apparently does not aim to score points on plot uniqueness. Instead, director Bill Condon and screenplay writers Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos parade dazzling musical numbers, stunning visuals, a hidden treasure trove of cameos and — the one that marketers love — an evil sidekick who is gay.
