[Fantasia ’12] Exclusive Teaser For ‘Hemorrhage’ Has Voices In Its Head
Hemorrhage, from first-time Edmonton, Alberta writer-director Braden Croft, is a serial killer thriller fusing a twisty road movie structure to an unsettling descent – or rather freefall. The film is playing the the ongoing Fantasia Film Festival and we’ve landed an exclusive teaser!
In the film, “After six years in a mental institution, young murderer Oliver Lorenz is deemed safe to reenter society. In many ways living in the shadow of his father — an eminent doctor specializing in frontal lobotomies — Oliver is an extremely gifted young man yet painfully and uncontrollably crushed by his condition, which impedes any normal social interaction. Keeping his psychopathic and schizophrenic urges at bay, Oliver seems to be doing fine. There’s the occasional hiccup, but nothing that can’t be controlled with copious amounts of medication and a little bit of counseling. Soon enough, Oliver is assigned a job as a janitor at an abortion clinic. Fate intervenes, unplanned and unaccounted for, to complicate things further: Oliver, busy enough with the disintegration of his life, quite simply falls… in love. With Claire, a young nurse he meets at the clinic. This complicated surge of feelings sends Oliver into a tailspin of self-doubt and a subsequent date quickly turns into a kidnapping — seemingly against both kidnapper’s and victim’s will. Because what Oliver doesn’t quite realize yet is that the voices in his head are relentlessly driving him toward a specific goal, one with its share of consequences and copious bloodshed, one perhaps directly linked to his familial past and his desire to be rid of his condition.”

R-Rated ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’ Director’s Cut Gets New Title and Streaming Premiere Date
After a slight delay, Disney has finally announced a new streaming date for the R-Rated director’s cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe. According to Gizmodo, it’ll also come with a new title.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn begins streaming on Hulu on August 14.
The new cut was first teased in an interview with director Chris Carter on the Fail Better With David Duchovny podcast from last year, where he teased a much scarier movie he intended.
“Now I have a chance to go back and make the scary movie that I always intended to make,” Carter explained last year. “It’s not just doing a Director’s Cut to do a Director’s Cut. It’s really kind of bringing to life something that for me was on the page and never got to the screen.“
The director’s cut of the film was initially set to arrive on Disney+ in June, but quietly disappeared from the schedule without a word. Polygon reported the delay was “due to some last-minute adjustments being made to the film.”
The release’s new “Vrach Frankenshteyn” title certainly suggests those adjustments have been made, likely referring to a Frankensteining of bonus footage.
In the film, Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) have been out of the FBI for several years, with Mulder living in isolation and Scully having become a doctor at a Catholic hospital, where she has formed a bond with a critically ill child patient.
When an FBI agent is mysteriously kidnapped, and a former Catholic priest who has been convicted of pedophilia claims to be experiencing psychic visions of the endangered agent, Scully is asked to bring Mulder back to the bureau to consult on the case because of his work with psychics.
The brand new R-rated cut will “faithfully restore the filmmaker’s original vision.”
Look for it on Hulu next month.
