‘Amulet’ Possesses VOD and DVD This October
Looking for fresh content to work into your Halloween calendar? Magnet Releasing has set an October 20, 2020 release date for Amulet on DVD and VOD platforms. For those dying to see it earlier, Amulet is now available for On Demand streaming.
Multiple Golden Globe nominee Romola Garai (“Emma,” “The Hour”) directed the film that follows veteran soldier Tomaz (Alec Scaraneau) as he takes asylum in the house of Magda (Carla Juri), a lonely young woman caring for her sickly mother. As Tomaz begins to grow closer to Magda, he discovers something sinister in the creepy, decaying home.
The film world premiered to critical and audience acclaim in the Midnight section at Sundance. Meagan Navarro reviewed Amulet, writing that it “sleepwalks through philosophical horror until [an] audacious finale.”
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.
