A Bloody Death in Johannes Roberts’ ‘F’
Forest of the Damned director Johannes Roberts is back with a new horror film, F, which follows a group of teachers who must defend themselves from a gang of murderous kids when their school comes under siege after hours. Beyond the break you’ll find an extremely bloody image, along with to more from the film starring David Schofield, Eliza Bennett and Ruth Gemmell.
“F is my first mainstream theatrical feature,” Roberts tells Bloody Disgusting. “[It] should be out in cinemas in the UK summer next year. I’ve just hit picture lock and we are just doing music and sound. The film is amazing – really genuinely scary and dark. It is about a group of teachers trapped in a school by a group of murderous hooded kids. It focuses on a burnt out alcoholic teacher (played by David Schofield – Pirates of the Caribbean/American Werewolf) who has to try and save his daughter Kate (Played by Inkheart’s Eliza Bennett) when the school comes under attacked by a group of hooded kids after hours.
“Think Assault on Precinct 13 meets Ils.
“The hoods themselves are played by Parkour specialists – the stuff they do is crazy, darting around up in the rafters in the dark amongst the empty classrooms and corridors – it’s really freaky stuff. The other teachers are played by Emma Cleasby (Dog Soldiers) Ruth Gemmell (Fever Pitch), Juliet Aubrey (Constant Gardener, Primeval), Roxanne Mckee (Hollyoakes).”
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?
