Kate (Clémence Poésy) and Justin (Stephen Campbell Moore) live in the upstairs flat of a London house. Thirty-something, successful and affluent, they are expecting their first baby. All appears well on the surface though Kate harbors deep-rooted fears about her fitness to be a mother and her ability to love her child.

One day, another couple, Jon (David Morrissey) and Theresa (Laura Birn), move in to the empty apartment below. They are also expecting a baby and, in stark contrast to Kate, Theresa is full of joy at the prospect of imminent motherhood.

Pregnancy brings the women together in a blossoming friendship as Kate becomes entranced by Theresa’s unquestioning celebration of her family-to-be.

Everything changes one night at a dinner party in Kate and Justin’s flat. Kate begins to sense that all is not as it seems with the couple below. Then a tragic accident throws the couples into a nightmare and a reign of psychological terror begins. – See more at: http://www.magnetreleasing.com/theonesbelow/#sthash.YR9Oq6TL.dpuf

Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

We see Peter Parker back in his room after the fight checking out some new gadget he (presumably) got from Tony Stark. It is a projector of some sort emitting red light towards the ceiling. Aunt May enters the room with some ice in a towel, and Peter quickly folds his arm to hide the gadget. He mentions that he got a beating from someone named Steve from Brooklyn and that the other guy was huge. After Aunt May leaves the room, he continues to project the gadget towards the ceiling and the camera pans up, to show a Spider-Man logo with some text and what appears to be buttons or something similar around it. The screen fades to black and we see the message: Spider-Man will return.
