Grab a Lantern and Head Down ‘Lost Gully Road’ (Exclusive Teaser)
In this exclusive teaser for Lost Gully Road, Lucy (Adele Perovic) grabs a lantern and heads into the forest. While nothing really happens, it’s a beautifully shot, atmospheric sequence from the film directed by Donna McRae.
“Lost Gully Road tells the story of Lucy, a directionless young woman who travels to a secluded cottage in the forest to wait for her sister. With no television and little communication to the outside world, she spends her days alone and drinking to pass the time. That is until her unexpected host decides to keep her company…”
Eloise Mignon (The Cherry Orchard), John Brumpton (The Loved Ones), and Jane Clifton (Prisoner) also star.
The film features stunning cinematography from Laszlo Baranyai, exquisite production design from visual artist Michael Vale, and a haunting score by Dave Graney and Clare Moore.
A bedtime lullaby soothes an unsettling newborn in our exclusive clip from Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
The dark fable makes its debut on Shudder on July 31.
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star as new parents in Nightborn, and this exclusive clip highlights mom’s harrowing transition into motherhood.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson also star.
Bergholm teased of her maternal horror movie, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
