1091 Pictures Nabs Festival Thriller ‘When I Consume You’
1091 Pictures has acquired English-speaking world rights to Perry Blackshear’s atmospheric social horror film When I Consume You.
The third feature from the New York-based filmmaker (2015’s They Look Like People and 2019’s The Siren), When I Consume You, premiered at the 2021 Fantasia International Film Festival to critical acclaim and went on to have its US Premiere at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival before playing festivals internationally.
The latest is produced by Blackshear and his returning core creative collaborators MacLeod Andrews and Evan Dumouchel, in addition to Libby Ewing. Andrews, Dumouchel, and Ewing also star.
“This gritty, urban folktale follows a woman (Ewing) and her brother (Dumouchel) as they hunt down a mysterious stalker hellbent on their destruction, testing the limits of love and loyalty in the face of ultimate evil.”
1091 Pictures is planning a digital release on August 16, 2022.

New ‘Arcadian’ Images and Poster Introduces Tense, Bloody Thrills in Nicolas Cage Creature Feature
Up next for Nicolas Cage is a creature feature from RLJE Films that’s titled Arcadian. RLJE debuted a bunch of new images along with a poster this morning that introduces more of the cast while teasing some of the bloody thrills ahead.
Look for Arcadian in theaters on April 12, 2024. After the film’s theatrical release, it’s coming to Shudder and AMC+ later this year.
Arcadian has been rated “R” by the MPA for “Bloody images.” Check out some of those bloody images below.
In Arcadian, which looks to take a page out of the Quiet Place playbook, “After a catastrophic event depopulates the world, a father and his two sons must survive their dystopian environment while being threatened by mysterious creatures that emerge at night.”
Jaeden Martell (IT 2017), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) and Sadie Soverall (Fate: The Winx Saga) also star in the upcoming Arcadian alongside cinema icon Nicolas Cage.
Ben Brewer (The Trust) directed the film, written by Mike Nilon (Braven).
I reviewed Arcadian for Bloody Disgusting out of SXSW. I wrote, “Playing like a cross between a poignant coming-of-age story and intense survival horror, Arcadian does just enough to set itself apart from similar fare. However, its ultimate appeal and magic lie in the inventive monster designs and the thrilling action set pieces they inspire.”
