Published

on

Bloody Disgusting’s own Alex DiVincenzo (The Horrors of AutoCorrect, The Nurturing) is back with the ASMR-style horror short Reverberance, now streaming on YouTube.

An ordinary day becomes unsound in Reverberance, which was co-written and co-directed by Alex DiVincenzo and TJ Frizzi and features special effects by Jordan Pacheco.

The Horror Revolution hails the three-minute short as “creepy as f-ck,” while Boston Hassle calls it “an ethereal, commendable little film accentuated by its innovative creature design.”

“I’m excited for people to see — and hear — Reverberance,” says DiVincenzo. “Watch it with headphones on and the volume up for maximum effect.”

You can watch Reverberance below, which mines sound for terror and introduces a freaky blue creature that may make you think twice next time you sit down to watch an ASMR video…

The horror short stars Sheri Lee and Brian Bouyea.

Reverberance is the latest genre short from DiVincenzo’s Lockbridge Productions, whose work includes The Horrors of AutoCorrect (distributed by Eli Roth’s Crypt TV), Cybershock 1999 (distributed by Troma Entertainment), and 48 Hour Film Project winner Root of All Evil.

Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t BreatheAlien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters nationwide on August 16, and Entertainment Weekly brings us two new images today.

The first image you’ll find below gives us another fresh look at the film’s Xenomorph, with Alvarez promising the outlet that it’s the most H.R. Giger-faithful Xenomorph of them all.

Entertainment Weekly writes, “… Alvarez promises [the Xenomorph’s design] is closer to H.R. Giger’s original creation than any other iteration.” The late H.R. Giger was of course integral to Ridley Scott’s Alien, designing the iconic monster the franchise is centered on.

The other image you’ll find below gives us a look at two of the human characters from Alien: Romulus, Archie Renaux’s Tyler and Cailee Spaeny’s heroine Rain Carradine.

Head over to Entertainment Weekly for their full preview of the upcoming film.
