‘Skin Walker’ Clip Delivers a Painful Birth [Exclusive]
Cleopatra Entertainment has shared with Bloody an exclusive clip from Skin Walker, a psychological horror film from Luxembourg/Belgium that will arrive on VOD platforms and DVD tomorrow, August 4th.
Directed by Christian Neuman, Skin Walker mixes gothic images, supernatural terror and psychological drama into a tribute to the great European horror movies of the 1970s.
In the excruciating scene, a woman gives birth only to have the baby immediately taken away from her.
In the film, “Regine is a fragile young woman trying to build a new life – safer and happier than the one she had as a child. However, escaping her trauma is not so easy, and when her grandmother is brutally murdered, Regine must return to the village she once left and revisit the gruesome horrors of her past to protect herself and her family.”
Udo Kier (Suspiria), Jefferson Hall (Halloween, “Game of Thrones”, “Vikings”) and Amber Anderson (In Darkness) star.
The film debuted previously at the 41st Cairo International Film Festival and at the 10th Luxefilmfest Luxembourg International Film Festival, and was honored at the IMAGO International Federation of Cinematographers Award for Best Young Emerging Cinematographer (Amandine Klee).

‘The Haunting of Pennhurst’ Exclusive Clip Trains Scare Actors For Historic Haunt in Tribeca Doc
The past and present collide in haunting, poignant ways in the genre documentary The Haunting of Pennhurst, which sees a Halloween haunt serve as a reclamation of true historic horrors.
Ahead of its world premiere at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival, we have an exclusive clip that sees scare actors in training for the Halloween season. The catch? This haunt is opening at the historic Pennhurst State School & Hospital site, a facility that caused immense harm to its disabled patients over decades of its operation.
In the documentary, “For over seventy years, Pennhurst State School & Hospital was called a place of care. What happened inside killed over half its population. It closed in 1987, leaving behind unmarked graves and an unresolved history. Today, on those same grounds, disabled performers – many living with the same conditions that once sent people to Pennhurst – put on their makeup, pull on their costumes, and prepare to scare people for a living.
“Through grit, compassion, and buckets of blood, the eclectic performers of the Pennhurst Asylum haunted attraction are wrestling with a space that is at once a lucrative business and a gravesite.”
The upcoming documentary hails from directing trio Nathan Stenberg, Mike Attie, and Katarina Poljak, who explore their socially-relevant subject through archival footage, first-hand accounts, and an immersive verité.
“Pennhurst has haunted us since we first passed through its dragon-tooth gates; the horrors of the institution echo through the site today. We are so grateful to bring this film to the Tribeca Festival, particularly the Escape from Tribeca section, which feels right for a story where past and present bleed together. We hope audiences leave unnerved and asking the same uncomfortable questions we did,” Attie, Stenberg, and Poljak said in a statement.
Watch the clip below that sees disabled and neurodivergent scare actors learning the ropes of a Halloween haunt, reclaiming the site’s grim history in the process.
