‘Isolation’ Director Joins ‘Creeping Zero’ Crew!
It’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since Billy O’Brien‘s incredible Irish horror Isolation was released. Thankfully, O’Brien is prepping a June shoot for Creeping Zone, a new action-scifi-horror masher that will star Attack the Block‘s John Boyega and Chronicle‘s Ashley Hinshaw. Rounding out the cast are Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes), Dominic Monaghan (“Lost”, Lord of the Rings) and Adam Deacon (“Dead Set”). Julie Baines of Dan Films produces.
Bloody Disgusting, along with Twitch have all been supplied with a different exclusive piece of concept art from the hotly anticipated feature. Our piece, by Chris Rosewarne, whose other credits include Skyfall, A Good Day To Diehard, Dark Shadows and Silent Hill 2, enters the “Fumati Zone”. Check it out after the break.
Here’s the official plot crunch: “The year is 2023 and the world is divided into two tribes – normal humans like us and those nicknamed the Blanks. Through a genetic defect, the Blanks have been born without proper facial features.
A new terrorist group is threatening the status quo. An extremist group of Blanks called the FUMATI can attack and kill anywhere and then disappear back into the population. Using hi-tech devices, they slip through security disguised as their victims. Now it is difficult to know who is the enemy and who is a friend.
Fear stalks the population.
Lenny (John Boyega) is part of the Creeping Zero crew, a security outfit tasked with hunting down the elusive Fumati. He is in love with Camille (Ashley Hinshaw) another member of the CZ squad. But in a full-on Fumati attack, she is snatched and disappears into the night.
Lenny quits the crew and goes in search of Camille. But soon the hunter becomes the hunted when he discovers the shocking truth about this conflict.“

‘The Space Between’ Exclusive Teaser Trailer – Damian Maffei Stars in Indie Liminal Horror Movie
Liminal horror is all the rage right now in the wake of A24’s Backrooms dominating the box office, and up next from the sub-genre is the indie film The Space Between.
We recently told you that The Space Between had wrapped production inside an operational Midwestern mall, and now we’re exclusively debuting the teaser trailer today.
Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey At Night, Wrong Turn, Haunt) stars in The Space Between. Watch the teaser trailer below, and also find the official poster underneath.
Maffei plays Rick, an overnight security guard working inside a once-bustling shopping mall after closing. While quietly carrying the grief of losing his daughter, Rick clings to the structure of his nightly routine as a form of stability. Over the course of a single shift, that routine begins to fracture as something unseen retraces his every step.
Kate Kiddo (Black Eyed Susan, The Events Surrounding a Peeping Tom) co-stars in the liminal horror movie as Dispatch, Rick’s only point of contact during the night. She is a calm and steady voice guiding him through his rounds as the system he relies on begins to break down.
Production took place inside an operational Midwestern mall, utilizing real locations after hours to ground the film’s surveillance-driven psychological horror and liminal atmosphere. Built through a lean independent model, the production focused on performance, practical environments, and atmosphere.
Filmmakers were granted unlimited access to more than 96,000 square feet of retail, corridor, and back-of-house space for critical sequences, allowing the production to capture the scale, emptiness, and unsettling realism of a functioning mall after dark.
Writer/director Joshua Garity tells Bloody Disgusting, “The original image that helped define the internet’s idea of liminal horror was traced back to Wisconsin, and that matters because those are the kinds of spaces I grew up in. They were once the heartbeat of a community, but many of them have slowly eroded into something more unnerving. Half-empty malls that still echo with laughter, if you listen closely and strip away the fresh coats of paint. The Space Between comes from that same Midwestern familiarity. It’s not about recreating Backrooms, but about exploring why these spaces stay with you: the absence, the repetition, and the feeling that a place you know is somehow watching you back.”
The Space Between is targeting a Fall 2026 release. Stay tuned for updates.
