TV: Enter the Mouth of Hell in Chiller’s ‘Ghoul’ One Sheet
Bloody Disgusting has just scored an exclusive look at an earthy one sheet for Brian Keene’s Ghoul — based on a horror novel of the same name — which follows a group of young friends who risk their lives to stop a rash of disappearances in their town.
Directed by Greg Wilson and penned by William M. Miller, the adaptation starring Nolan Gould (“Modern Family”) is now in post-production. Wilson also directed Jack Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door.
The feature is part of Chiller’s new original productions. The film was produced by MODERNCINÉ’s Andrew van den Houten (The Woman, The Girl Next Door) and Robert Tonino.
Chiller will premiere their first original production, “Remains”, this fall. It was penned by “30 Days of Night” creator Steve Niles.
There’s no slowing down Alice Maio Mackay. The filmmaker behind So Vam, Bad Girl Boogey, and this year’s The Serpent’s Skin is already back with sci-fi horror Our Effed Up World.
Starring Annapurna Sriram (Fucktoys), Sara Thompson (“One of Us is Lying”) and Jess McLeod (It’s a Wonderful Knife) and produced by Dark Star Pictures, the film will receive its International Premiere at Fantasia Film Festival on July 18, 2026.
The first teaser has arrived ahead of its fest screening, which sees a group of friends contend with terror from outer space when it crash lands nearby.
The synopsis reads: “Sheri thought her biggest problem in life was dealing with the recent loss of her beloved grandma. But when a mysterious entity crash lands in the woods, only she and her group of shitkicker friends are what stands in the way of an insatiable, intergalactic hunger.”
Scott Major, Brandon Flynn, Jordan Dulieu, JackHaven, Leela Varghese, Tommy Dorfman, and Chris Gun also star.
I Saw the TV Glow and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun produces.
Mackay directs from a script co-written with Ben Pahl Robinson.
Mackay shares of her latest, “Our Effed Up World is my latest no budget queer film. I wanted to delve into a completely new sub-genre—sci-fi. But still through my signature lens and blend of campiness and melodrama. This project allowed me to take a step back from all the horrors that are happening around us and to really reflect on what makes us who we are and what we need to do to hang on to what is important in our lives. Whilst also being a rumination on grief and how we cope with living in an ‘effed” up world.'”
The 30th edition of Fantasia begins today; stay tuned for more from our coverage of the fest.
