‘Ballet Blanc’ Raised to be Evil [Trailer]
Indican Pictures announced today it will bring Anne-Sophie Dutoit’s Ballet Blanc to theatres on November 8th.
The bloody horror film focuses on a young boy, left behind by his ballet troupe. Developed to be evil, this boy is now out on a reign of terror.
Dutoit has brought her own experience, from the ballet world, to the screen, explains the press release. “Working on the idea of a performer turned evil by their instructor, this director explores a bloody, violent world as seen in the film’s first teaser. Now, only one force can stop this child (Colter Carlbom-Mann), or there is no more hope for good.”
Dutoit is one of youngest directors in the horror genre, with her first screenplay written at sixteen and her first feature shot at eighteen. This latest film is set to scorch screens across U.S. theatres, in just a few days. Initially, the film will debut in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago.
In January, Ballet Blanc will then arrive on DVD and on Digital platforms as Indican Pictures makes the film available in ever more markets.
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.”
