New Year’s Eve Turns Into a Hell of a Night

Published

I love a good thriller, especially one where a good time ends so very, very badly (and appears to give homage to the great Alfred Hitchcock).

Matt Lanter (The Roommate, Vampires Suck, Sorority Row) , Gillian Zinser (Manson Girls), Torrance Coombs and Sara Paxton (The Innkeepers, Last House on the Left, Shark Night 3D) will star in the psychological thriller Liars All, written and directed by Brian Brightly, writes THR.

Alice Evans, Tiffany Mulheron and Randy Wayne also appear in “the story of a group of friends celebrating New Year’s Eve in London by playing a provocative game that ultimately gets terribly out of control.”

The indie production is scheduled to begin filming Monday in L.A.

Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.

Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.

Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”

Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”

David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.

XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
