‘Disposition’ Literally Stalked by Darkness
In Disposition stars Sun Choke and Beyond the Gates‘ Sara Malakul Lane as a young woman struggling to get used to her meds and finds herself literally stalked by her own darkness. Visions of brutal violence might be her only escape, teases the press release. Suzie Block (Entrance) co-stars.
Directed by Eric Thirteen, a producer on Rob Zombie’s 31, “We wanted to use a handful of horror tropes to show how modern violent films can also be as subtle as the 70s psychological thriller. It’s bloody, naked, and loaded with practical effects.”
Disposition is a passion project collaboration with Will Barratt (Hatchet, Digging Up the Marrow). Sheila Mia Seifi (Captain America) designed the 100% practical effects under the supervision of Rob Burman (Donnie Darko, The Thing, Terminator 2).
The film hopes to make a festival run soon.

‘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.
