Full Synopsis, Date and First Look at ‘S. Darko’
We learned that Fox Home Entertainment and MGM Home Entertainment will be releasing S. Darko on DVD April 28th. The trailer will premiere at the New York Comic Con before arriving here on the web the following week. Beyond the break you can check out the full synopsis for the film, along with your first look at Samantha Darko, played by (Daveigh Chase of ‘The Ring’ fame).
The continuation of cult classic DONNIE DARKO finds now eighteen year-old classic beauty Samantha Darko (Daveigh Chase) and her rebellious best-friend Corey Richardson (Briana Evigan) in the midst of a cross-country road-trip to ‘make it big’ in Hollywood.
But their big dreams are cut short when their water pump blows outside of a tiny Utah town.
Stranded with the local teens for a few days until their car’s fixed, Sam and Corey are less than thrilled at the delay…and when an unexplained meteorite crash-lands in town that night, it soon becomes clear that there is much more at play than just a chance breakdown.
Plagued by bizarre hallucinatory dreams warning her of the universe’s eminent end, as well as grief over her own loss of family, Sam must face the demons she has fled back at home. Aided by the unlikely town locals, Sam learns the true meaning of family and friendship, and in doing so, saves both herself and the world.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
