Holy Gory Mackerel, BD Selects Acquires ‘Macabre’!!!!
The main reason we started Bloody Disgusting Selects was to find quality horror films – new and old – and bring them to you dear readers. Nothing excites me more than being THE site to actually find a way to bring you something nobody else would, which is why I’m beyond excited to reveal that we’ve acquired U.S. rights to the Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto’s (“The Mo Brothers”) Indonesian splatterfest Macabre!!
Macabre, also known as “Darah”, is off-the-wall violent and has been called the “Indonesian Inside“.
Starring Ario Bayu, Julie Estelle, Imelda Therinne, Shareefa Daanish, Arifin Putra, “Two newlyweds, along with 4 of their best friends, interrupt their travels to pick up a troubled girl on an abandoned stretch of roadway. When they return her to her ancestral home, the night turns into a crimson-hell for the 6 friends, who find themselves trapped and hunted down by Dara and her cult-like family of deadly protégés, born and raised to systematically eliminate unsuspecting passerby for one nefarious reason.”
Macabre is the winner of “Best Actress” at the Puchon Intl Film Festival and has screened at Fantastic Fest, Sitges, ScreamFest LA, Texas Frightmare, PiFan Intl Film Festival, L’Étrange Festival France, Lisbon Intl Horror Film Festival and at the Lund Fantastisk Film.
Release info, U.S. trailer (festival footage inside), one sheet, and more goodies coming soon. Watch this spot.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
