‘Matriarch’ – Hulu Gets Crazy With Original Horror This October! [Exclusive]
Hellraiser isn’t the only horror gem coming this Halloween season from Hulu. Set for release on October 21st is the simmering folk horror Matriarch, a completely under-the-radar shocker that’s adding more original horror to the pipeline.
In the film…
“After an overdose nearly takes her life, Laura Birch (Jemima Rooper) escapes from the high-stakes pressure of the advertising world to return to her roots. Accepting an invitation home from her estranged mother (Kate Dickie), Laura hopes the time away in the secluded English village will help calm the demons raging inside of her. She soon discovers that the locals of the town are all protecting an unspeakably dark secret—a secret that involves not only her mother but her own terrifying destiny as well.”
Written and directed by Ben Steiner, the film also stars Sarah Paul, Franc Ashman, and Keith David Bartlett.
Executive producers include David Worthen Brooks, Arbi Pedrossian, and Jenna Cavelle with production services by Sharp House producers Ian Sharp and Eoin O’Faolain, and co-producer Alexa Waugh. The film is developed and produced by 20th Digital Studio.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive first look at the film’s trailer, which teases a simmering, brooding, slow-burn folk horror tale that transforms into something truly shocking. Check it out along with a first-look at a striking piece of art.
Huluween is back and scarier than ever. For the entire month of October, horror fans can celebrate Hulu’s annual Halloween event with a full slate of nail-biting new Hulu Originals and classic TV & film frights. As the ultimate destination for Halloween lovers the Huluween content hub now has more titles than ever before. Highlighting the most hair-raising content on the service, the hub includes hand-picked collections of the best Halloween content including three feature collections: “Action Horror,” for the most haunted fans, “Frights For the Whole Family,” for the viewers who are ready to have a fright, but still sleep at night and “Humorous Horror,” featuring light-hearted Halloween fun.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
