Tribeca ’11: First Person Haunts in ‘Grave Encounters’
Taking cues from films like Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project comes a new cinema verite ghost flick, Grave Encounters, which comes from directors simply known as “The Vicious Brothers”.
Starring Sean Rogerson, Merwin Mondesir, Ashleigh Gryzko, Mackenzie Gray and Juan Riedinge, the pic will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this April.
“The crew of ghost-hunting reality TV show Grave Encounters decides to shoot an episode inside an abandoned psychiatric hospital with a dark past. All in the name of good television, they voluntarily lock themselves inside the building for the night to begin a paranormal investigation, capturing everything on camera. They quickly realize that the building is more than just haunted–it is alive, and has no intention of ever letting them go.”
A family sinks their teeth into a vicious vengeance quest in the first images from supernatural horror movie Sundown.
The latest from director Rebekah McKendry (Glorious, All the Creatures Were Stirring) has its World Premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival on August 13, 2026.
Sundown stars Olwen Fouéré (The Watchers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Camille Sullivan (Shelby Oaks, Hunter Hunter), and Summer H. Howell (Mike Flanagan’s “Carrie“) as the central family who’ll encounter what appear to be rather monstrous vampires.
The film follows “three generations of women who reunite in a remote cabin to avenge a loved one’s death, only to discover their captive isn’t who he seems to be and his family is closing in, waiting for sundown.“
Rebekah McKendry directs from a script by Glorious collaborators Joshua Hull and David Ian McKendry.
Daniel Bernhardt (Deathstalker, John Wick), David Alpay (“From”), Kyle Mac (Carrie 2013), Elisa Paszt, Junko Bailey (The Grudge 2019), Megan Best (Time Cut), and David Ian McKendry round out the cast.
The horror film features special effects makeup from Patrick Baxter (“Alien: Earth”, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), and other effects from Creature Cabin and Steven Kostanski’s Action Pants FX.
Producers include Pasha Patriki (Deathstalker), Michael Paszt, Andrew Thomas Hunt, & James Fler of Raven Banner (V/H/S/94, Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon) and Juliette Hagopian (Hunter Hunter). Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash executive produces via his BerserkerGang label alongside Michael Vasicek, Michael Da Silva, and Rodrigo Gudiño.
“Sundown is great,” said Slash. “It is a super tense family vs monster tale that is as claustrophobic as it is terrifying.”
