[Exclusive] Your First Look at ‘Child’s Play’ Documentary ‘The Dollhouse’

Published

on

2017 is the year of the Chucky.

The opening night film at this year’s UK FrightFest in London is Don Mancini’s hotly-anticipated Cult of Chucky, having its global premiere at the event later this month. Not only will fans of the Child’s Play series get to see the new sequel two months before the rest of us, but they’ll also be treated to a short documentary about the franchise.

Preceding the Cult of Chucky premiere will be a screening of The Dollhouse, a brand new documentary short directed by Kyra Gardner. Kyra is the daughter of makeup effects legend/Chucky puppeteer Tony Gardner, who is interviewed in the doc alongside Don Mancini and series stars Brad Dourif and Fiona Dourif.

The Dollhouse is being described as Kyra’s “loving tribute to growing up in the world of the psychokiller doll.” Check out some exclusive first-look stills below!

FrightFest 2017 runs from Aug 24 – Aug 28, 2017.

New ‘Infested’ Exclusive Clip Will Make You Intensely Afraid of Bathroom Drains

Published

Shudder Infested clip, spider horror

Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.

Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.

If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.

In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.

“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.

“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”

Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.

Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.

In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”

The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
