Poster for Paul Solet’s ‘Dark Summer’ Gets Creepy
Paul Solet’s (Grace) upcoming suspense thriller Dark Summer is coming to select theaters and VOD January 9th courtesy of IFC Midnight. This is the filmmaker’s first feature since Grace back in 2009. Since then he directed a short for the genre YouTube channel BlackBoxTV and that’s it. I for one am excited for him to take on a feature length again.
Between the creepy first poster below and the trailer released earlier this month, it looks like Dark Summer will be kicking 2015 horror very nicely.
Combine horror classics THE SHINING and POLTERGEIST with the dark tension of DISTURBIA and you have DARK SUMMER, the chilling tale about a troubled teen confined to house arrest for the summer, who’s suddenly haunted by an evil entity who may or may not be the ghost of his former classmate. The film stars Keir Gilchrist (United States of Tara), Stella Maeve (Chicago PD), Peter Stormare(veteran actor from over 100 different films and television series – Fargo, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Armageddon, The Big Lebowski), Grace Phipps (The Vampire Diaries), and Maestro Harrell (The Wire).

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
