Check Out This ‘Valentine Surprise’ From Part of the ‘Contracted’ Team!!
Matt Mercer and JD Lifshitz were producers on Eric England’s Contracted and apparently came up with the idea to co-write this twisted little short sometime after that picture wrapped. The short, entitled Valentine Surprise, was also directed by Mercer (who stars as well) and I’m impressed by the way it came together. A lot of shorts I get from first time directors are total garbage, so it’s nice to see one that’s not only competent – but really well shot and edited. It’s also nice that it it’s totally able to communicate everything it needs to with visuals, music and sound design – but no dialogue.
The short also stars Contracted‘s Najarra Townsend. It was produced by Mercer along with Jose Luis and Natalie Fong. Patrick McGinley serves as DP and Ben Wise provides the music.

Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.
Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.
Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”
Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”
David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.
XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
