[San Diego Comic-Con ’12] First Look At After Dark’s ‘Asylum,’ Dark Circles’ & ‘Red Clover’!
After Dark Films is sharing a sneak peak into their horror brand After Dark Originals 2 at booth #4145 at the ongoing San Diego Comic-Con. They’ve provided Bloody with an exclusive look at Asylum, along with two fresh images from Red Clover and Dark Circles. Release dates are forthcoming.
In Asylum (top), starring Stephen Rea, and directed by Todor Chapkanov, “A veteran hostage negotiator’s next call leads him to an overrun insane asylum. He soon finds that dark forces are pushing the patients to commit atrocities, and that he may be the only one that can stop them.”
Dark Circles (middle) stars Johnathon Schaech and Pell James, and was written and directed by Paul Soter. “When new parents Alex and Penny retreat from the city and move into a place outside town, the stress and massive sleep-deprivation caused by their infant has both of them seeing things in the house that may or may not exist. As their fragile grasp on reality spirals into delirium, Alex and Penny find themselves nearly helpless to deal with the horrific truth of what is really going on in this house.”
Lastly, Red Clover (bottom), starring Billy Zane, William Devane and Courtney Halverson, and directed by Drew Daywalt, “In a small Massachusetts town, an Irish girl, her father, and her grandfather try to stop a murderous Leprechaun by putting an end to its grudge, once and for all.”

Norway’s deepest fjord isn’t just unleashing a mythic monster in Kraken, but its monstrous deep sea parasites as well.
Watch our exclusive clip below, which introduces the skittering, skin-crawling aquatic menaces on the attack.
Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the Kraken in select theaters and on digital June 12.
Here’s the synopsis: “A marine biologist encounters several strange occurrences while researching a fjord, including the brutal deaths of two local teenagers. At the bottom of Norway’s deepest fjord rests a mythical monster as large as a mountain, with a myriad of arms ready to crush and devour anything they can grab.”
Pål Øie (The Tunnel) directs from a script by Vilde Eide, Kjersti Jelen Rasmussen, and Natasha Arthur.
Sara Khorami (Troll 2), Mikkel Bratt Silset, Øyvind Brandtzæg, Jenny Evensen, Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes, Jon Erik Myre, Hans Morten Hansen, Steinar Klouman Hallert, and Filip Bargee Ramberg star.
The behemoth beast from the deep is the latest kaiju-sized aquatic creature harboring a horde of bloodthirsty parasites, joining the likes of Cloverfield and Underwater. Naturally, the Kraken itself serves as the much bigger threat.
It’s also about time that the Kraken received its own feature; though Meg 2: The Trench featured a Kraken-like beast in its climax, the Kraken hasn’t been fully unleashed since Clash of the Titans.
Watch out for the Kraken in limited theaters and on VOD this Friday.
