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

A hospital stay grows more nerve-frazzling when memory loss distorts reality in our exclusive clip from This Tempting Madness, inspired by a true story.

In This Tempting Madness, “Mia awakens from a coma grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions, and her perception of reality.”
Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
