‘Thelma’ Gets Strapped in for a Trip to TIFF
We recently told you that The Orchard had acquired North American rights to Joachim Trier’s supernatural thriller Thelma, about a young woman who falls in love and discovers she has terrifying and inexplicable powers. Now, we’ve learned the film will be joining the Toronto International Film Festival as a special presentation!
Eili Harboe, Okay Kaya, Ellen Dorrit Petersen and Henrik Rafaelsen star in the Norwegian-language pic.
The Orchard, who also teamed with Trier on his 2015 Cannes pic Louder Than Bombs, plans a fall theatrical release. They’ve previously released our Southbound, as well as Demon and Ghost Team.

‘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.
