‘Everwinter Night’ – Exclusive Clip from New Indie Horror-Comedy Takes You Back to 1994
In the dead of winter, the time of their lives has just run out in Everwinter Night. The indie horror-comedy is described as Midsommar meets Chasing Amy by way of The Shining.
Watch an exclusive clip from the film’s 1994-set prologue below, along with Marc Schoenbach’s retro-inspired poster art.
The unique blend of slow-burn tension, quirky humor, and chilling horror is directed by Adam Newman from a script he co-wrote with Chris Goodwin. Victoria Mirrer, McKenna Parsons, Goodwin, Jamie Dufault, and indie horror darling Sarah Nicklin (The Retaliators, The Black Mass) star.
“Lifelong best friends Maddy and V set out for a relaxing vacation. When their old college clique hijack their plans, V finds herself at a remote ski lodge where a group of mysterious wealthy men throw a celebration a century in the making.”
The unconventional production was the result of a different movie being cancelled at the last minute due to unforeseen complications. With a cast and crew two days out from filming on location in New Hampshire, a completely new story was conceived on the fly using the resources available.
“The shoot was unlike anything we had ever done or heard of before,” explains Newman. “After our 12-hour shoot days, we had to head back to our rooms to write the scenes for the following day, trusting in the story that we had assembled only days before and in the talented cast and crew that stuck with us through it all. Somehow, in the chaos, we were able to craft a personal story that mixes a lot of what we love in horror movies: characters you love – or love to hate – plus fun kills and story-fueled scares.”
Everwinter Night marks the inaugural feature from Dreamscape Productions. Following a successful festival run that included winning Best Feature at the Central Florida Film Festival, the New Hampshire-based production company has opted to self-distribute the film.
Keep your friends close and your enemies forever with Everwinter Night, available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.
NEON has been absolutely slaying the marketing game for their horror output this year, and they’re kicking the Longlegs campaign into high gear with one more month until release.
A cryptic ad in The Seattle Times today (seen below) has led clever horror fans to discover TheBirthdayMurders.net, the brand new official viral marketing website for Longlegs.
The in-universe website details the victims of the serial killer known as Longlegs (Nicolas Cage), described as a “Satan-worshipping psycho” who has terrorized families throughout the Pacific Northwest for nearly three decades.
The website details, “A bloody trail of bodies here in the great state of Oregon attests to the depraved savagery of this one-of-a-kind serial killer. With over three dozen victims that we know of, LONGLEGS is one of the most prolific mass murderers ever to have graced the region, and his gruesome endeavors are the stuff of nightmares. At first, all of the killings appeared to be straightforward murder-suicides: the handiwork of average men who suddenly snapped and slaughtered their wives and children. But a series of eerie coded messages left at the crime scenes indicate that someone – or something – is influencing these horrific crimes. The cryptic letters are signed by someone calling himself LONGLEGS.”
“With thirty-eight kills to his name, LONGLEGS has torn apart the lives of eleven different families throughout the Beaver State. His victims were good people: honest fathers, decent mothers, innocent little children.”
The website is loaded with secrets, clues, and gruesome (faux) crime scene photos, and you might even find a mention of yours truly nestled in there. Poke around. Stay a while.
Longlegs arrives in theaters July 12.
The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.
In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.
The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”
