Hush, We Have Some New ‘Still/Born’ Stills
“Fear the unborn.”
Director Brandon Christensen’s Still/Born made an impression at last year’s Overlook Film Festival, nabbing the prestigious Scariest Feature Award. The jurors praised that the film, explaining that it “combines visceral chills and a creepy atmosphere into a perfectly terrifying package.” Although, Kalyn wasn’t a huge fan, writing that it “fails to capitalize on its own commentary.”
Here are a handful of new images from Still/Born, Christensen’s feature debut opening in theaters and VOD platforms February 9, 2018, through Vertical Entertainment.
“Mary, a new mother gives birth to two twins, but only one of them is alive. While taking care of her remaining child, Adam, she suspects that something, a supernatural entity, has chosen her child and will stop at nothing to take it from her.”
The film’s cast includes Christie Burke (Twilight: Breaking Dawn, A Single Shot), Jesse Moss (Tucker and Dale Vs Evil, The Uninvited), Rebecca Olson (Kindergarten Cop 2), Sean Rogerson (Grave Encounters) and Michael Ironside (Starship Troopers, Turbo Kid).
Colin Minihan and Brandon Christensen wrote the script.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
