Second Clip from ‘Diagnosis Death’
Arriving on DVD December 29 from Lightning Home Entertainment and Lionsgate Home Entertainment is the horror comedy Diagnosis Death. In the flick a supernatural force brings together two lost souls undergoing radical treatment at an experimental drug-testing facility. When the facility is locked down for the weekend and the drugs take effect, the human guinea pigs experience sinister hallucinations pointing to a horrific double murder. Unsure of where reality stops, the apparitions become more and more threatening until the only way to leave the facility alive is to solve the haunting secret. Directed by Jason Stutter. With Raybon Kan, Jessica Grace Smith, Suze Tye, Bret McKenzie, Rhys Darby. Jemaine Clement (from Flight of the Conchords) makes a special cameo appearance. While we’ve already brought you the trailer, below you can check out the second comical clip, along with the first featuring the star of “Flight of the Concords”.
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
