‘Dark Was the Night’ Teaser Poster; Film to Play Screamfest In LA! (Exclusive)

Published

I’ve been looking forward to Dark Was the Night so I’m stoked to be able to announce that Los Angeles readers can see it early in October. I hung on the set of the film and was impressed with what I saw, from the practical creature effects to the cast, which included Kevin Durand, Lukas Hass, Heath Freeman, Sabina Gadecki and Nick Damici.  The film was directed by Jack Heller from a script by Tyler Hisel and was produced by Caliber Media.

In the film, “an evil is unleashed in a small town when a logging company sets up shop in the neighboring woods.” And you can see it soon if you live in Los Angeles! We can exclusively report that Dark Was the Night is set to premiere at Screamfest (it’s not on the lineup yet but it will be) in October. The fest runs from October 14th-23rd at the TCL Chinese Theaters. Be sure to check it out!

Head below for the teaser poster designed by Brandon Schaefer.

New ‘Infested’ Exclusive Clip Will Make You Intensely Afraid of Bathroom Drains

Published

Shudder Infested clip, spider horror

Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.

Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.

If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.

In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.

“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.

“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”

Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.

Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.

In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”

The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
