Meet ‘The Seventh Day’ Priests In First Look at Fangoria’s Exorcism Thriller
Ahead of the EFM in Berlin, Bloody Disgusting scored an exclusive first ever look at Fangoria’s next production, The Seventh Day, which tells the story of a renowned exorcist who teams up with a rookie priest for his first day of training.
Below you’ll see Vadhir Derbez as Father Daniel, a young priest conscripted by the Archbishop of New Orleans to join a growing exorcism task force, under the training of legendary exorcist Father Peter (Guy Pearce, pictured above). As they plunge deeper into hell on earth on the rookie priest’s first day of training, the lines between good and evil blur, and their own demons emerge.
Don’t Breathe and VFW‘s Stephen Lang, also pictured below, co-star as the serious and deeply pious archbishop of the Catholic Diocese of New Orleans.
As Deadline previously reported, Keith David (The Thing) will portray Father Louis, a mentor to Father Peter (Pearce) in his youth. Brady Jenness (“The Sinner”) will portray Charlie Giroux, a young boy accused of a heinous crime while allegedly under the influence of demonic possession.
Shot in Dallas and New Orleans, Justin P. Lange (The Dark) directs from his own script.
Producers are Dallas Sonnier and Amanda Presmyk for Cinestate and Fangoria. Kimberly Hwang and Chelsea Davenport are also producing. Voltage Pictures CEO Nicolas Chartier and President and COO Jonathan Deckter are executive producing, alongside Adam Donaghey, Phil Nobile Jr and Danielle Cox.

Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
