Exclusive ‘Dark/Web’ Stills Reveal Technological Terrors
Bloody Disgusting has received some exclusive images from Dark/Web, a new series that will explore the terrors of a technological near-future where everyone is connected whether they like it or not.
Think Black Mirror by way of V/H/S, with pulse-pounding standalone episodes popping amid a mysterious wrap around and you get the idea of the format here.
Dark/Web features a great cast of horror regulars including Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Nicholas Brendon, Noemi Gonzales (Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones), Rene Heger (CIRCLE), Siobhan Fallon Hogan (Wayward Pines) along with Sibo Mlamba (Black Sails), Brian Elerding (Mad Men) and others.
As the series producers explain:
The anthology aspect of DARK/WEB will let us explore many sub-genres of horror and sci-fi. All stories will center around themes related to the Internet and the dangers present in the murky, unexplained layers of the web. Paranoia, isolation, vanity, loss of identity, the viral nature of ideas, and social media pressures are just a few of the subjects we’re looking to tackle. These pieces also give us the opportunity to showcase diverse and varied points of view from new and exciting filmmakers, writers, and actors across a wide spectrum of backgrounds.
Roxy Shih will direct the serialized segments of the series, with the stand-alone segments to be written and directed by different filmmakers including Zelda Williams and producer Joshua Thurston, Boman Modine , Mario Miscione, Michael Nardelli and Bloody Disgusting writer Christopher Webster (that’s me!).
Felt Films and Taggart Productions are producing with Autumn Federici, Mario Miscione and Tim Nardelli .

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
