Playing at this month’s Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal is Sony Pictures Worldwide’s thriller Retreat, which stars Cillian Murphy, Thandie Newton and Jamie Bell.

Carl Tibbetts makes his feature directorial debut on the film, which “finds Murphy and Newton heading to a remote island cottage to rebuild their frail marriage. When a wounded and armed stranger (Bell) shows up at their door with news about a deadly airborne virus, they must seal themselves inside the cottage, where the tension starts to escalate from psychological to physical.”

Alongside the trailer we’ve now got the first official stills.

The Fantasia Film Festival hasn’t even started and I’m already burnt out.

The first announced wave of films nearly gave me an anxiety attack, while today’s announcement sent me into cardiac arrest.

Inside you’ll find all of the newly announced genre titles from the 130-feature array that’s going to blow up Montreal on July 14 (through August 7). You’re going to need three weeks to even attempt to see all of these! (Breathe, Brad, breathe.)

Very reminiscent of Black Christmas and te recent Kidnapped, below we scored a slew of new imagery from Andy Fetscher’s Urban Explorer, which will be playing at next month’s Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal.

“Anxious to explore the mysterious hidden world under metropolitan Berlin, an international group of four urban explorers hires a local guide, Kris, who leads them into the maze of escape tunnels and subterranean fortifications under the city. When their guide has a bad fall, two of the girls in the group frantically set off to seek help while Denis, the young American, stays behind. Armin, a former East German border guard suddenly appears from nowhere. Out of sheer desperation, Denis allows Armin to lead them and their unconscious guide to safety and it is at this moment that Denis realizes he has just made the biggest mistake of his life!”

Well, it’s actually a horse…

Having its premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal next month is The Wicker Tree, Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man companion piece that looks pretty effin’ bizarre. We’ve compiled all of the previously released goodies, and added an exclusive creeptacular image below.

Starring Graham McTavish, Jacqueline Leonard, Clive Russell, Honeysuckle Weeks with Henry Garrett & introducing Britannia Nicol, “Young Christians Beth and Steve, a gospel singer and her cowboy boyfriend, leave Texas to preach door-to-door in Scotland . When, after initial abuse, they are welcomed with joy and elation to Tressock, the border fiefdom of Sir Lachlan Morrison, they assume their hosts simply want to hear more about Jesus. How innocent and wrong they are.”

Premiering at the Fantasia Film Festival in July, inside you’ll find a tense teaser poster for The Lost director Chris Sivertson’s new thriller that reteams him with actor Marc Senter. This time Senter acts as star and producer hiring Sivertson to write and direct Brawler, which is based on a true story.

Described as in the vein of Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets, Brawler follows two brothers competing in an underground circuit of illicit New Orleans riverboat brawls, struggling to survive their opponents, the crime boss they work for, and ultimately, each other.

Senter, who is a trained martial artists, will square off against his producing partner Nathan Grubbs (Privateer, Down in New Orleans ) in the ring.

Senter also stars in Cabin Fever 2, and can be seen in Simon Rumley’s SXSW festival hit Red White & Blue.
