Terrorist Gore Film ‘Sara’s Cell’ Attaches Icon Tony Todd
In California, American journalist Sara Brown has been kidnapped by religious extremists. Her colleague and fellow anchor Steve Mcreedy, follows the coverage from an LA news studio. A terrorist cell sits camped in a sweaty, unknown nearbly locale, waving a pistol at her cameraman, readying themselves for Sara’s beheading. With cameras aimed and knives sharpened, they commence. But something unforeseen goes terribly, terribly wrong…
These are the explosive elements of an award winning short film that made rounds within the horror festival circuit circa 2006. Director Kevin Shulman brought his offensive vision to war sensitive New York City and hammered the audience with a no holds barred, psychological battering that offended a few and earned gritty respect from the remaining filmgoers looking for a horror film they wouldn’t soon forget.
That short was EYES OF SAMIR, and you can watch the brutal, uncut version right now exclusively over at BDTV. The exciting news here is that Eyes of Samir has been expanded into a full length feature script currently under the name of SARA’S CELL – and some well known names are already beginning to attach themselves. The first of which is horror icon Tony Todd (Candyman, Night of the Living Dead), who also plays Sara’s co-anchor in the short.
“SARA’S CELL is the brain child of myself and my brother Nathan Shulman who returned home from Iraq and helped me write it, bringing to it his expertise on terrorism and the darkest elements of our occupation in IRAQ,” says writer/director Kevin. “The film is a throwback to serious psychological horror and gore films of the past – the sort you might otherwise expect from Freidkin or Carpenter. None of this torture porn crap or cheap buck artist video schlock. I care about this genre more than any other and im here to grow and stay in it.”
If you’re still keeping an eye out for fresh, original material that packs a punch, keep an eye on this one. Bloody Disgusting will have exclusive coverage, and will bring you further developments on this much anticipated project as it develops.
Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
