A Psychological Trip to ‘ColdWater’ from ‘Hills Run Red’ Director

Published

on

ColdWater is a psychological suspense thriller directed by David Parker (The Hills Run Red), and starring Ivan Djurovic (“24”), Rick Irwin (30 Minutes or Less), Sanny Van Heteren (Unknown, Hellraiser: Revelations) and James Duval (Donnie Darko).

Making it’s debut at the Big Bear Horror/Sci-Fi film festival on October 2nd, below you’ll find the first still, one sheet and trailer. Get more at the film’s Facebook or website.

Andre (Djurovic) recovering from a recent accident agrees to help his friend Robert (Irwin) by taking over a house-sitting job at an unusual home nestled in the heart of Coldwater Canyon. As the day turns into night, Andre faces strange occurrences that lead him to believe he is not there alone, and someone or something is watching him.


ColdWater is exciting because it is totally different from the two movies that I had done before,” says Parker. “This movie is about creating atmosphere, tension, and unsettling the audience. Doing any independent movie is challenging, and we’ve had many that we look forward to sharing. At the end of the day we have made the movie we wanted to make, no apologies, and hope that it inspires people to do the same.

ColdWater is more than just a movie, it’s a reminder to others that if you want something in life whatever it may be don’t wait around for it; go find a way to make it your reality!” adds stars Djurovic. “Dave and I knew that our movie was more of an experiment in the way we were making it, but we never stopped believing in ourselves, and our project along with the amazing people who’ve helped and made it possible.

‘The Exorcism’ Trailer – Russell Crowe Gets Possessed in Meta Horror Movie from Producer Kevin Williamson

Published

on

Russell Crowe (The Pope’s Exorcist) is starring in a brand new meta possession horror movie titled The Exorcism, and Vertical has unleashed the official trailer this afternoon.

Vertical has picked up the North American rights to The Exorcism, which they’ll be bringing to theaters on June 7. Shudder is also on board to bring the film home later this year.

Joshua John Miller, who wrote 2015’s The Final Girls and also starred in films including Near Dark and And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird, directed The Exorcism.

Joshua John Miller also wrote the script with M.A. Fortin (The Final Girls). This one is personal for Miller, as his late father was the star of the best possession movie ever made.

Miller said in a statement this week, “The origins of the film stem from my childhood spent watching my father, Jason Miller, playing the doomed Father Karras flinging himself out a window at the climax of The Exorcist. If that wasn’t haunting enough on its own, my dad never shied away from telling me stories of just how “cursed” the movie was: the mysterious fires that plagued the production, the strange deaths, the lifelong injuries— the list went on and on. The lore of any “cursed film” has captivated me ever since.”

“With The Exorcism, we wanted to update the possession movie formula (“Heroic man rescues woman from forces she’s too weak and simple to battle herself!”) for a world where no one group owns goodness and decency over another,” he adds. “We were gifted with an extraordinary cast and creative team to tell a story about how we’re all vulnerable to darkness, to perpetuating it, if we fail to face our demons. The devil may retaliate, but what other choice do we have?”

The film had previously been announced under the title The Georgetown Project.

The Exorcism follows Anthony Miller (Crowe), a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.”

Sam Worthington (Avatar: The Way of Water), Chloe Bailey (Praise This), Adam Goldberg (The Equalizer) and David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) also star.

Of particular note, Kevin Williamson (Scream, Sick) produced The Exorcism.
