A Trio of New ‘Vanishing on 7th Street’ Pics Head Into the Dark

Published

on

We’ve received three new hi-res stills for Brad Anderson’s (Session 9, Transsiberian, The Machinist) Vanishing on 7th Street (review), his latest horror venture that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival this past September. Magnet will be releasing the chiller On Demand January 7, with a limited theatrical run planned for February 18. Starring Hayden Christensen, John Leguizamo, and Thandie Newton, following a mysterious blackout, most of the population vanishes into thin air. As the remaining survivors converge in a small tavern to figure out what happened, the darkness returns to claim them one by one. An unexplained blackout plunges the city of Detroit into total darkness, and by the time the sun rises, only a few people remain – surrounded by heaps of empty clothing, abandoned cars and lengthening shadows. A small handful of strangers that have survived the night (Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton, John Leguizamo and newcomer Jacob Latimore) each find their way to a rundown bar, whose gasoline-powered generator and stockpile of food and drink make it the last refuge in a deserted city. With daylight beginning to disappear completely and whispering shadows surrounding the survivors, they soon discover that the enemy is the darkness itself, and only the few remaining light sources can keep them safe. As time begins to run out for them, darkness closes in and they must face the ultimate terror.
