Extreme ‘Haunt’ Slashes to VOD This September
The opening night attraction of the Popcorn Frights film festival is the World Premiere of Haunt, the new horror-thriller by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the duo who wrote the box office sensation A Quiet Place.
While the film will premiere at the Florida-based festival in August, Bloody has learned that it will arrive in limited theaters and on VOD platforms September 13th via Momentum Pictures.
The film takes place on Halloween, a group of friends encounter an “extreme” haunted house that promises to feed on their darkest fears. But the night turns deadly as they come to the horrifying realization that some nightmares are real.
It stars Katie Stevens, Will Brittain, and Lauryn Alisa McClain.
Here are a handful of images we exclusively premiered.
One of contemporary horror’s best werewolf movies is 2017’s Good Manners, and it’s finally set to receive a proper physical media release.
Icarus Films is partnering with OCN Distribution to unleash a new Blu-ray that’s now available to preorder via Vinegar Syndrome. and with a limited edition slipcover.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
Good Manners is the second collaboration between filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, who write and direct. Zama’s Rui Poças‘ cinematography captures this unique werewolf tale described as “Disney meets Jacques Tourneur.”
Our own Trace Thurman wrote in his review, “With Good Manners, Rojas and Dutro have made one of the best werewolf movies ever made. That they are able juggle commentaries on racism and classism while still managing to tell two deeply affecting love stories is remarkable.”
