IFC Midnight Calls Upon ‘Pyewacket’ Out of TIFF
Be careful what you wish for…
In Pyewacket, from director Adam MacDonald (Backcountry), a frustrated girl (Nicole Muñoz) attempts an occult ritual but awakens something sinister in the woods instead.
Hailing out of Canada, the psychological thriller, ironically from the executive producer of The Witch, is actually about a young girl who performs an occult ritual to evoke a witch to kill her mother.
IFC Midnight has acquired U.S. rights to the film, Bloody Disgusting learned, and will release in limited theaters and on VOD in 2018. Eone has Canada.
We are huge fans of this indie gem here on Bloody.
I exclaimed that this “slow burn [film] delivers brooding heavy metal horror,” while Joe Lipsett wrote that the “occult film succeeds by teasing and delaying the horror.”
After making $230 million at the worldwide box office, this year’s franchise reboot Scary Movie is now headed home to Digital, and a brand new Extended Cut is coming with it!
Scary Movie: Extended Cut hits Digital on Tuesday, July 21, 2026.
This new cut promises “Extended scenes and alternate cuts.”
“The jokes just got even more unhinged — the Extended Cut throws more laughs, more madness, and all-new scenes for a franchise that has never met a line it wouldn’t cross.”
We don’t know too much about Scary Movie: Extended Cut at this time, but we did recently hear that additional Terrifier spoof footage was one thing left on the cutting room floor.
Fedor Steer’s appearance as Artie Claus is brief in Scary Movie, but he noted in an Instagram post that more footage was shot for the Terrifier 3 spoof scene. Steer explained, “Sadly, the scene where I cut off [the mall Santa’s] arms and head and twirl in the fountain of blood spewing from his neck didn’t make the movie. Just trust me when I tell you it was awesome!”
We also know that a bit featuring Smile parody Ghostface masks was cut from the film.
Scary Movie is listed for DVD and Blu-ray release on September 22, 2026.
Twenty-six years after the original massacre, Cindy, Brenda, Shorty, and Ray get dragged back into the chaos by a brand-new masked killer who clearly never learned when to quit.
Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall reunite for an outrageous return to the franchise’s original roots, where every target is fair game.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directed the new Scary Movie.
