‘e-Demon’ Clip Panics Post Murder
Dark Cuts Pictures shared a clip from Jeremy Wechter’s feature e-Demon (review), opening theatrically with a day-and-date VOD release September 14th. The film looks similar to Blumhouse’s Unfriended franchise.
It stars Julia Kelly, John Anthony Wylliams, Christopher Daftsios and Ryan Redebaugh and is produced by Wechter, who directed off-Broadway musical comedy Little House on the Ferry, Michael Gonzalez, PJ Starks and Emily Pojman.
“e-Demon tells the story of an escaped demon on a dark and twisted mission that manipulates a group of friends hanging out on a video-chat.”
“Kendra, AJ, Mar and Dwayne are old college friends who find themselves growing apart. Attempting to hang on to their college days, the gang gets together online for a night of stories, pranks and drinking via webcam. As the evening progresses, they unknowingly release a devious demon that had been trapped for centuries in Salem, Massachusetts. Since the demon can possess multiple people at once, the group of friends must determine who they can still trust in order to survive the demon’s dark and twisted mission.”
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
