One of the craziest films to play last year’s Sundance Film Festival was Eight for Silver (review), a 19th-century period horror in which a werewolf terrorizes a small town in France. It received a ton of rave reviews and could possibly find its way to cult status.
LD Entertainment (The Collector) was behind the film and after a year on the market, it appears that the company will be self-distributing the film this coming February under the much more palatable title The Cursed.
We expect the trailer online next week as it’s showing ahead of this weekend’s release of Scream.
While we wait for the trailer, Sundance previously shared some behind-the-scenes footage from Sean Ellis‘ Gothic horror featuring The Predator‘s Boyd Holbrook as John McBride, a pathologist assigned to determine if the body of a 14-year-old boy found in the woods is the work of a man or a beast.
“McBride is then welcomed as a guest into the family home of a local wealthy landowner, Seamus Laurent (Alistair Petrie), and his wife Isabelle (Kelly Reilly), who share that their own son, a friend of the victim, has been missing for two weeks. Distraught and determined to keep her daughter safe, Isabelle finds comfort in the arrival of John while he is forced to confront the horrors of his own dark past.”
