Lionsgate Releases Long-Gestured ‘Rogue River’
Take an adventure into the woods as Lionsgate debuts Rogue River on DVD, Digital Download and On Demand June 5. Directed by Jourdan McClure, this slasher film stars horror icon Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), Michelle Page (Stray), Lucinda Jenney (TV’s “24”) and Michael Cudlitz (TV’s “Southland”). The film won the Audience Choice Award and Best of Festival Award for Feature Film at the 2010 Sacramento Film Festival and was an Official Selection at the 2010 ScreamFest Horror Film Festival. Rogue River DVD includes behind-the-scenes featurettes.
“Taking a trip into the isolated wilderness of Oregon to scatter her father’s ashes, Mara (Page) meets a kindly older gentleman, Jon (Moseley), who offers her a ride after her car has been towed by the local sheriff. She begrudgingly accepts only to be abducted later by Jon and subjected to various methods of emotional and physical torture. Risking everything to escape this hell, Mara won’t stop running until she finds safety.”
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.
