Creature Feature ‘Devil’s Gate’ Image Reveals Film’s Monster
“Heroes” star Milo Ventimiglia (The Divide) and Amanda Schull of SyFy’s “12 Monkeys” will be seen in the sci-fi creature feature Devil’s Gate, which had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month and will soon screen at the forthcoming FrightFest in London. IFC Midnight recently acquired the film for release here in the States later this year.
The indie marks the directorial debut of commercial director and Dawn of the Dead‘s second unit director Clay Staub, who also wrote the story and screenplay for the film along with Peter Aperlo.
The film is set in a small town where an FBI Agent, played by Schull, comes to investigate the missing wife and son of a local rancher, played by Ventimiglia.
Devil’s Gate also stars X-Men actor Shawn Ashmore as the local deputy forced to collaborate with the outside investigator in his town, and “Jane the Virgin’s” Bridget Regan as the missing wife that sets the mystery into action. Jonathan Frakes will play a sheriff who is uncomfortable with the interference of the FBI in his town.
The above shot teases one of the film’s creatures, with two more fresh shots shared below.
One of contemporary horror’s best werewolf movies is 2017’s Good Manners, and it’s finally set to receive a proper physical media release.
Icarus Films is partnering with OCN Distribution to unleash a new Blu-ray that’s now available to preorder via Vinegar Syndrome. and with a limited edition slipcover.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
Good Manners is the second collaboration between filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, who write and direct. Zama’s Rui Poças‘ cinematography captures this unique werewolf tale described as “Disney meets Jacques Tourneur.”
Our own Trace Thurman wrote in his review, “With Good Manners, Rojas and Dutro have made one of the best werewolf movies ever made. That they are able juggle commentaries on racism and classism while still managing to tell two deeply affecting love stories is remarkable.”
