Evil is Revealed In First ‘Aura’ Images and Art
U.S.-set, U.K.-produced horror movie Aura has wrapped, reports Variety. The film revolves around the concept of photographing your own aura, known as Kirlian photography, and stars Shane Taylor (“Band of Brothers”), newcomer Janine Nerissa, and veteran British actor Rula Lenska.
Steve Lawson (“Survival Instinct”) wrote and directed the picture, which was produced by Hereford Films, the U.K. indie behind the “We Still Kill the Old Way” gangster movie franchise.
Lawson is set to direct another of Hereford’s genre pictures, Pentagram, which is inspired by The Devil Rides Out and, like Aura, will be set in the U.S.
It is part of the slate of genre movies that also includes sleep-paralysis feature Tormented and an adaptation of Shaun Hutson’s latest novel, Chase, which will also shoot this year.
Evil is revealed in the first images and sales art for Aura.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
