‘The Revenant’ is Apparently Too Gory for Some Folk
On Monday night, a screening of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant was held for award voters and while it seems that the reception was mostly incredibly positive – we won’t know until December 4th when the review embargoes are lifted – there were some audience members who apparently couldn’t handle the violence and gore, according to THR.
Additionally, there are talks that this might be the role that finally lands Leonardo DiCaprio a Best Actor Oscar. After years and years of fantastic roles, it’d be pretty great to see him win. He definitely deserves it.
The film follows a fur trapper (DiCaprio) who is left for dead in the wilderness after an attack from both man and animal. After surviving the horrific attacks, the trapper makes it his mission to seek revenge upon those who wronged him and his family.
We’ve been covering the film here on Bloody because of how tense and vicious it looks. It also has that suspense that Gravity brought us, which gave me more anxiety than any horror film in the last several years. This looks like it’ll be the same way only on a far more visceral and gorgeous level.
Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, and Domhnall Gleeson, The Revenant comes out December 25th, 2015.
Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company, has acquired Worldwide rights to debut filmmaker G.S. Foxwood’s horror film Wild Eyed and Wicked, Bloody Disgusting has learned this morning. The film will be released on June 11, 2024 on digital and cable on demand outlets, with further details on the worldwide roll-out still to come.
Bloody Disgusting has been told, “The film blends elements of horror, familial drama, and fantasy to create a unique, emotionally powerful, and genuinely terrifying experience.”
Molly Kunz (Widows, The Irrational), Michael X. Sommers (Sense8), Stefanie Estes (Soft & Quiet), and Colleen Camp (Clue) star in the upcoming Wild Eyed and Wicked.
Check out some exclusive first-look images and expect the trailer soon.
Wild Eyed and Wicked follows Lily Pierce (Kunz) in her attempt to strike back at the medieval creature that’s haunted her family for generations. She must reconnect with her estranged father, Gregory (Sommers), a disgraced history professor, and learn how to draw upon a time of steel and blade when armor-clad knights rode out and dueled monsters to the death.
The film is produced by Big Bad Film’s Powell Robinson and Patrick R Young. Written by G.S. Foxwood and Executive Produced by Elizabeth Foxwood and New Mythology Productions.
Wild Eyed and Wicked is coming off premieres at Dances with Films NYC and Austin Film Festival where it won the Dark Matters Audience Award. Previous films from Big Bad Film include Bastard (2015) and Threshold (2021), which is currently streaming on Arrow Player.
