‘Evolution’: Cronenberg Fans Should Devour This Bizarre Clip (Exclusive)
IFC will release the Lucile Hadzihalilovic-directed dramatic horror film Evolution on VOD and in limited theaters this Friday, November 25th. Other than The Eyes of My Mother, this body horror flick is one of the best international horror films of the year.
Bloody Disgusting is excited to share this exclusive clip that’s straight up chilling. In the footage a nurse opens up a little boy and removes a trio of what look like fetuses. While it’s unclear what’s happening in this sequence, the nurse puts them in a jar and then stores it on a shelf that looks like something out of an Alien film. The clip itself is straight up Cronenberg.
“In ‘Evolution’, 10-year-old Nicolas lives with his mother in a village on a remote island inhabited solely by women and young boys. In a hospital overlooking the ocean, all the boys are subjected to a mysterious medical treatment. Only Nicolas questions what is happening around him. He senses that his mother is lying to him, and is determined to find out what she does with the other women at night, on the beach. What he discovers is the beginning of a nightmare into which he is helplessly drawn.“
Max Brebant, Roxane Duran and Julie-Marie Parmentier star in Evolution, which is the perfect creepy, crawly horror film to digest all of that Thanksgiving grub to.
Evolution opens in theaters in select cities and on demand on Friday, November 25th, courtesy of IFC Midnight.
In the wake of Immaculate and The First Omen, more church-based baby horror is on the way with The Baby in the Basket, and Bloody Disgusting has been provided with a sneak peek.
For starters, Strive Global Media has secured the worldwide sales rights on the gothic horror film starring Amber Doig-Thorne (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), Michaela Longden (How to Kill Monsters), Elle O’Hara (When Darkness Falls), Lisa Riesner (Charlie’s Angels) and Nathan Shepka (Lock & Load) alongside veteran British talent Annabelle Lanyon (Legend), Maryam d’Abo (The Living Daylights) and Paul Barber (The Full Monty).
Produced by Shepka Productions and Flickering Myth, The Baby in the Basket is set in 1942 where, as World War II rages on as the nuns of isolated Scottish monastery St. Augustine’s prepare for an incoming storm front. During the night a baby in a basket is left on the doorstep and the sisters take it in to care for it.
As the evening goes on, one nun, Sister Agnes (Doig-Thorne) soon suspects the child is the son of the Devil.

The film is directed by Nathan Shepka and Andy Crane from a script by Tom Jolliffe (Cinderella’s Revenge). Shepka and Jolliffe produce alongside Gary Collinson of Flickering Myth, with Sanatan Kadakia (Control) executive producing via Hidden Ridge Productions.
“We do not often find stylish horror films like The Baby in the Basket in the marketplace which is very flooded with repetitive horror titles. This film is really something special and stands out as a film to see. We are so pleased to be representing it.” says Miriam Elchanan, President of Sales & Acquisitions at Strive Global Media.
“The Baby in the Basket has been a passion project that has been brought to the screen by a fantastic cast and crew,” states writer and producer Tom Jolliffe. “We can’t wait for the world to see the finished film and we’re delighted that Strive Global Media has secured worldwide sales rights and will be debuting the film at Cannes Film Market.”
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Miriam and the team at Strive Global Media on The Baby in the Basket and thank them for the enthusiasm they have shown towards the film,” added Gary Collinson of Flickering Myth. “It is testament to the work of our wonderful cast and crew, and we look forward to being able to share it with audiences around the world.”
