Latest ’11-11-11′ Blog Tells of Mysterious Illnesses
Shooting is close to wrapping in Spain on Darren Lynn Bousman’s religious horror flick 11-11-11, but not before he can squeeze in another blog or two. This morning he updated his official website with a list of “odd occurrences” that he found chilling, before throwing in a creepy story about a “ghost sighting”. He swears there’s no viral intent and that this is for realz. I believe it.
“The more of these blogs I write, the more I begin to question my own sanity for writing them. I am at a point now where I am beginning to censor myself, because I feel that no one will believe the words i am writing,” he explained.
“I, personally, have yet to see anything `unexplainable,’ but we have had some very upsetting injuries.
-The first night at the house, the second AD, Leo, fell while walking to set and broke his ankle…
-The script supervisor, Joana had to go to the hospital the second night in the house after falling violently ill.
-Last week, Jota (on set props) was standing still during a take when a light suddenly fell from the ceiling, hitting him on the head…
-Two hours after my parents arrived at the location, my dad became very ill and spent the remainder of the day back at the hotel throwing up…”
But the truly cool story begins when, “About four days ago, one of the producers on the film came down to video village… He stood there for a couple of minutes… White as a sheet… After a long and uncomfortable silence, one of the crew members said, ‘What?’” Want to know what he saw?

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
