‘Night After Night’ First Poster Teases Mind-Bending Sci-Fi Thriller
Filmmaker Josh Lobo (I Trapped the Devil) is back with his sophomore feature Night After Night, set to make its debut this weekend at the Chattanooga Film Festival.
The sci-fi thriller is unveiling an eerie new poster by artist Hans Woody ahead of its premiere tomorrow night, opening the fest.
Johnny Sibilly (“Hacks”), Alexis Louder (Violent Night), Trace Lysette (“Transparent”), AJ Bowen (You’re Next), and Scott Poythress (I Trapped The Devil) star.
In the film, “One of only two Security Guards employed by ‘The University‘, Andrew Gersh’s days are spent going through the motions. Dismissive of his partner Willis’ growing paranoia about the school’s secretive founder and relentless expansion, Andy’s carefully controlled routine begins to unravel when Willis suddenly vanishes under mysterious circumstances. While patrolling a newly constructed wing, he discovers a sealed room— and inside it, a stranger who returns each night in a newly formed body, as if remade from scratch.
“Guided only by Willis’s final, cryptic warning, Andy’s drawn deeper into a mystery that feels less like an investigation and more like an invitation. As the line between observer and participant begins to blur, he’s forced to confront a chilling possibility: The University isn’t hiding something—it’s building toward something. And Andrew may already be a part of it.“
Horace Gold, Melissa Macedo, Michelle Macedo, and Jennifer Blair round out the cast. Simon Waskow (Cuckoo) will compose the score.
Night After Night is said to harken back to ’70s sci-fi and conspiracy thrillers, featuring morally ambiguous characters.
Stay tuned for more out of Chattanooga Film Fest this weekend.
From director Sébastien Vaniček, Evil Dead Burn releases in theaters July 10, but that’s just one of two brand new Evil Dead movies releasing in the next two years.
Evil Dead Wrath recently wrapped production, with the upcoming film from director Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop in Yuma County) set for theatrical release on April 7, 2028.
We’ve known virtually nothing about the movie up to this point, but a recent interview with producer Rob Tapert has surfaced this week (thanks, Dread Central) and it reveals a very surprising bit of information about Evil Dead Wrath. The film is set in 1972!!
Tapert told the students at Michigan State University during a chat, “Evil Dead Wrath is yet another great departure. It predates everything. It takes place in 1972.”
That means Evil Dead Wrath takes place even before the arrival of Ash Williams and friends to that infamous cabin in the woods, which should give the film a whole new kind of flavor.
Sam Raimi’s Army of Darkness was of course set in the Middle Ages, but Evil Dead Wrath will take place chronologically before Ash Williams was transported into medieval times!
“It will feel like a 1972 movie because the director and his DP want to imitate the film’s look and feel of something that’s called Ektachrome 100, which was a film stock,” Tapert notes. “Still available. A lot of movies shot on back then. And so it’s very warm, very tungsten.”
Tapert calls Wrath “very Tarantino-esque, very deliberate. [Galluppi] made a movie, not a horror movie, that I liked a great deal called Last Stop in Yuma County. It’s worth looking up.”
The Last Stop in Yuma County, it’s interesting to note, is also set in the 1970s!
Charlotte Hope (The Nun), Jessica McNamee (Mortal Kombat), Zach Gilford (“Midnight Mass”), Josh Helman (Mad Max: Fury Road), Ella Newton (Dangerous Animals), Elizabeth Cullen (Diabolic), and Ella Oliphant will star in Evil Dead Wrath.
Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi and franchise producer Rob Tapert are producing. Bruce Campbell and Lee Cronin will executive produce alongside Romel Adam and Jose Canas.
