on

This morning Aullidos has shared the first two Spanish-language clips from Jaume Balagueró’s Sleep Tight (Mientras Duermes), a new thriller from Filmax. Watch them inside. “The residents of the building where Cesar works as a doorman are not aware of the overtime he has been putting in. Apparently, he is at their service both day and night.

Also beyond the break are the first two TV Spots from Universal’s Dream House, the Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz starrer from director Jim Sheridan hitting theaters September 30. “The Sheridan-helmed psychological thriller follows a family that relocates into what appears to be the ideal residence in small town Connecticut. However, the husband (Craig) and wife (Watts) are disturbed to discover that their beautiful new home was the site of another family’s slaughter, believed to be at the hands of the husband who survived.

Former “Greek” star Scott Michael Foster is joining ABC’s midseason series “The River” as a recurring, says Deadline. On the horror drama chronicling a family and TV crew’s efforts to locate a missing explorer in the Amazon, Foster will play a thrill-seeking, adventurous cameraman who may be hiding a secret.

Lastly, check out this low resolution new look at Amy Heckerling’s Vamps. Normally we’d wait for a hi-res version, but it’s the coolest still released to date. The film is selling quietly at the TIFF. A Distributor could be found soon for the Alicia Silverstone, Krysten Ritter, Sigourney Weaver and Richard Lewis starrer. “‘Vamps’ tells the modern day tale of two young beautiful female vampires living the good nightlife in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immortality.” Click the inside image for the old gallery.

Hollywood is serious about landing the next Backrooms. Hot on the heels of a Siren Head feature announcement, Deadline reports that a new movie based on viral YouTube series The Mandela Catalogue is in development.

It also has some Hollywood heavy hitters behind it.

Amblin Entertainment’s Steven Spielberg, United Artists’ Scott Stuber (Frankenstein), and Amazon MGM Studios are set to produce, emerging victorious after a highly competitive 11-studio bidding war.

Launched in 2021, the YouTube series is set in the fictional Mandela County, Wisconsin which is “invaded by shape-shifting, nearly immortal creatures called Alternates. The Alternates are led by a false depiction of the Archangel Gabriel and their aim is to wipe out the human race by psychologically torturing them to the point of suicide. The Alternates are known for manipulating AV media, TVs, computers and GPS systems.”

The movie will be directed by the series’ creator, Alex Kister, based on a screenplay he adapted with Tyler Clifton.

The Mandela Catalogue has racked up an impressive 100 million views across its official episodes alone, solidifying it as one of the largest original analog horror franchises on YouTube.

Spielberg and Holly Bario are producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside Aaron B. Koontz for Paper Street Pictures and Stuber and Nick Nesbitt for United Artists. Kister and Clifton are also producing. Annie McCreery will oversee the project for United Artists. Maria Fortese will oversee for Amblin.
