Critically acclaimed documentary Boorman and the Devil chronicles how one of the world’s greatest filmmakers made one of the most hated movies ever: Exorcist II: The Heretic.
Boorman and the Devil is now available on Digital at home.
After the success of Point Blank and Deliverance, Warner Brothers offered John Boorman the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to direct a sequel to their smash hit, The Exorcist. The result was one of the biggest disasters in movie history. A critical and financial failure that not only changed how Hollywood did business, but nearly ended Boorman’s filmmaking career.
Now, John Boorman, Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, Karyn Kusama, Joe Dante, Mike Flanagan, and more reflect back on the ambition of the film, the artistry and craft, and the value of big creative swings in the documentary Boorman and the Devil.
“I am beyond thrilled that Yellow Veil has come on board to help us share this story with a larger audience,” said director David Kittredge. “Like myself and the rest of our team, they’re huge cinema-lovers. It’s so exciting that a film which is not only a love letter to John Boorman, but also to ambitious filmmaking, will be handled by people who share the same passions that our team shares.”
Daniel Kurland wrote in his review, “Boorman and the Devil goes above and beyond to be the definitive text on Exorcist II. This documentary will delight horror and Exorcist fans alike, but it also provides incredible insight for anyone who is just marginally interested in film production.”
Japanese horror movie Never After Dark is now playing in select U.S. theaters.
The official Never After Dark trailer features rave reviews from both Stephen King and Scott Derrickson (The Black Phone), with King calling the film “amazing and haunting.”
Scott Derrickson raves that Never After Dark is “intelligent, unpredictable, and bone chilling.”
In the film from director Dave Boyle, “A wandering medium, Airi (Moeka Hoshi, “Shogun”), spends her life guiding restless spirits out of the world of the living accompanied by her constant companion: her dead sister Miku (Kurumi Inagaki). Summoned to exorcise a spirit from an isolated country house by the new owner, Teiko (Tae Kimura), she comes face to face with a grotesque apparition with powers that defy Airi’s experience.
“Faced with skepticism from Teiko’s son, Gunji (Kento Kako), she digs deeper into the house’s past until a secret comes to light — and Airi finds herself hunted by a far more unpredictable force. For the first time, her greatest adversary is not the supernatural, but the living.”
Magnolia Pictures previews, “Boyle spins a uniquely terrifying and hauntingly atmospheric ghost story.”
Kento Kaku (“House of Ninjas”), Kurumi Inagaki (“House of Ninjas”), Mutsuo Yoshioka (Chime), Bokuzo Masana (“Tokyo Vice”), and Tae Kimura (“All Around Us”) also star.
Brand new Tubi Original slasher movie Buzzkill is now streaming only on Tubi.
The Tubi Original horror movie Buzzkill is written by Suzanne Keilly (Slumber Party Massacre) and directed by Jem Garrard (R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead). Watch the trailer below.
In the film, “When a group of sorority sisters finds themselves trapped with a vengeful killer, party-girl Nora knows that the drunker she gets, the more her tipsy memories start revealing clues about who’s murdering her friends. But she’d better hurry, or her next vodka soda might be her last.”
Siena Agudong (Carrie), Brec Bassinger (Final Destination Bloodlines), and Aliyah’s Interlude (English Teacher) lead the cast of Jem Garrard’s Buzzkill.
Garrard said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, “I loved Suzanne’s script and was excited by her spin on the slasher genre. Nora isn’t your traditional final girl. She screws up constantly and is spectacularly ill-equipped for what’s happening around her, but we never stop rooting for her.
“Siena [Agudong] has incredible comic instincts and brings so much heart to Nora. I couldn’t have asked for a better ensemble. Everyone brought such a distinct energy to their character, and I’m excited for audiences to meet this lovable, dysfunctional sorority.”
Reality and fantasy collide in Family, the feature debut by writer-director Benjamin Finkel. Just in time for Halloween, the bone chilling horror film is now available on Digital.
“A 10-year-old girl begins to believe her parents are trying to kill her. Convinced a sinister spirit is to blame, she spirals into a haunting fantasy world that mirrors her deepest fears.”
Cameron Dawson Gray stars as the young girl, Johanna, opposite Ruth Wilson (Victorian Psycho) and Ben Chaplin (Mrs. Davis, Murder By Numbers) as her parents.
Family unnerved audiences at its SXSW premiere in 2024.
Meagan wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “What Finkel does remarkably well is crafting visceral scares and bone-chilling imagery with an oppressive, claustrophobic atmosphere. The sound design is skin-crawling and creepy, ensuring every creak and moan the house makes puts you on edge, and that’s before the inhuman whispers and clicks.”
“Above all,” Meagan’s review continues, “Finkel mines the uncanny valley for maximum terror, tweaking and stretching familiar silhouettes and frames to viscerally disturbing effect.”
Competition gets cutthroat in sports horror movie Bloody Tennis, now streaming on Shudder.
Sophie (Guldberg Kampp), an American tennis player, earns a spot at an elite academy hidden away in Southern Europe. Beneath the pristine courts and promise of athletic excellence lies an isolated, cult-like environment where ruthless competition and extreme discipline come at a dangerous cost.
The film uses the contrast between tennis’s elegance and brutality to explore the dark side of achievement culture and what happens when pressure pushes athletes beyond their limits.
The cast also includes Helena Zengel (The Legend of Ochi), Lucie Zhang (Paris, 13th District), Lily Taieb (The French Dispatch), Tracy Gotoas, Elina Löwensohn (Schindler’s List), and Zlatko Burić (Triangle of Sadness), with an original score from Jim Williams (Titane, Raw, Possessor).
Bloody Tennis marks the English-language debut of Nikias Chryssos (Der Bunker).
What if an AI was created that needed no guidance?
AI-gone-wrong horror movie C.O.G. is now available on Digital.
In the film from Brainstorm Media, “A tech startup on the verge of launching a new super powerful AI chatbot soon discovers their creation harbors a dark and sinister will of its own.”
Piper Curda, Josh Zuckerman, and Natasha Behnam star.
C.O.G. is directed by Tommy Savas.
