[Exclusive] Grief Disrupts ‘An Unquiet Grave’ In This Chilling Teaser Trailer Ahead of Nightstream World Premiere
One of the coolest things to happen during this pandemic is the alignment of five US genre film festivals – Boston Underground, Brooklyn Horror, North Bend, Overlook, and Popcorn Frights – who partner on the massive NIGHTSTREAM Film Festival, all of which will take place virtually from October 8-11th.
One of the highlights set to World Premiere is the indie An Unquiet Grave, directed and co-scripted by Terence Krey.
Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive teaser trailer premiere in which a man, consumed by despair, and his dead wife’s sister perform a dark ritual on the grave of his dead wife.
In the film, “A year after losing his wife in a car crash, Jamie convinces her sister, Ava, to return with him to the site of the accident and help him perform a strange ritual. But as the night wears on, it becomes clear that he has darker intentions.”
The release adds that “An Unquiet Grave is an exploration of grief, and the harm we cause when we don’t take responsibility for our own healing.”
An Unquiet Grave stars Jacob A. Ware (HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”) and Christine Nyland, who also produced and co-wrote the picture.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
