‘The Disappeared’ Trailer and Website
Today we caught wind of a new UK horror film entitled THE DISAPPEARED, which was directed by Johnny Kevorkian and stars Harry Treadaway, Matthew Ryan, Greg Wise, Jake Ryan, Tom Felton, Simon, Alex Jennings, Adrian Ballan and Ros Leeming. The British, London set gritty horror film is said to be in the style of THE ORPHANAGE AND THE SIXTH SENSE and will be premiering at London’s Frightfest this August. Check out the film’s official website for a trailer and more info, or just read on for a long synopsis.
Matthew blames himself for the mysterious disappearance of his younger brother Tom. He was partying at his London council flat when Tom went missing. With police at a dead end, Matthew starts hearing chilling voices on the recording of a news conference and begins questioning his sanity. Blamed and ignored by his troubled father, he visits a clairvoyant who reveals a history of missing children in the area. When his best friend Simon’s sister is also abducted, the ghostly voices guide him to the shocking truth. For in an underground labyrinth he is confronted by a satanic killer and terrifying knowledge that dark forces are manipulating destiny. In the tradition of The Omen and The Sixth Sense comes a superbly acted and thrilling British supernatural shocker. Bound to attract critical attention and key awards, The Disappeared will put debut director Johnny Kevorkian on the genre map as a major discovery.
“Mythic Quest” actor Chase Yi has been cast in a lead role in Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.
As for character details or plot, well, those remain scarce at this stage.
While we wait for further news on whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”
It’s fitting, especially as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.
Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
Also on the way soon is the Paranormal Activity stage play.
