‘Reflection in a Dead Diamond’ Exclusive Clip Traps Retired Spy in Dangerous Illusion
A spy villain takes their disguises to violent, trippy new heights in our exclusive new clip from 1960s Eurospy throwback Reflection in a Dead Diamond.
Watch the clip below ahead of the film’s release, exclusively on Shudder, this Friday, December 5.
In Reflection in a Dead Diamond, when the mysterious woman in the room next door disappears, a debonair 70-year-old ex-spy living in a luxury hotel on the Côte d’Azur is confronted by the demons and darlings of a lurid past in which movie-making, memories, and madness collide.
Golden Globe-winning Italian actor Fabio Testi (What Have You Done to Solange?), Yannick Renier, Koen De Bouw (Loft), Maria de Medeiros (Pulp Fiction), and Thi Mai Nguyen star.
Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, the filmmaking duo behind The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears and Let the Corpses Tan, write and direct the action mystery thriller.
Cattet and Forzani’s fourth feature film premiered in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year and went on to play Fantastic Fest, Tribeca, and Sitges, among others.
Reflection in a Dead Diamond is an international co-production between Belgium’s Kozak Films and Savage Film, Luxembourg’s Les Films Fauves, Italy’s Dandy Projects, and France’s Tobina Film and To Be Continued.
Ahead of Friday’s release, get introduced to Testi’s retired spy, John Diman, as he finds himself in a master of illusion’s lethal crosshairs.

‘Home Bodies’ Image & Poster Introduce Isolated Twins in Sci-Fi Nightmare [Fantasia 2026]
Sci-fi thriller Home Bodies is set to unsettle audiences at the 30th edition of Fantasia, and our exclusive image introduces a peculiar pair of twins at the center.
Home Bodies makes its World Premiere July 23, at 9:30 PM at Cinéma du Musée in Montreal, with the filmmakers and cast in attendance.
An eerie new poster created by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative heralds the film’s premiere.
In the film, “Red and Blue, twins raised in total isolation by an automated house, live according to the rules set by Papa, a disembodied voice behind a locked door who provides food, shelter, entertainment, and order. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Pal, an enigmatic humanoid stranger whose presence begins to fracture the only life the twins have ever known.”
It’s a premise that calls another Canadian creeper to mind and has us intrigued: Pin.
Emma Ho, Ian Ho, and Ess Hödlmoser star.
Home Bodies is directed and produced by Casey Walker, who returns to Fantasia more than a decade after his horror-comedy A Little Bit Zombie screened at the festival in 2012. He’s since gone on to produce a number of defining Canadian genre films like In a Violent Nature, The Void, and Pyewacket.
“I started my career in Montreal and Fantasia has been part of my life ever since,” said Walker. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to where it all started and share Home Bodies on such a special anniversary of the festival.“
Karen Harnisch (Infinity Pool, Sleeping Giant) also produces. Executive producers are Todd Brown (The Raid, Mandy) and Chad Archibald (undertone).
