Dread director Anthony DiBlasi’s Cassadaga is to kick off Archstone Distribution 2013 slate, reports Screen Daily.
The Los Angeles-based international sales company is branching out into US distribution and plans to release up to six titles in the New Year. Cassadaga will open in the top 10 markets in the second half of 2013.
“The story centres on a girl who seeks solace in a spiritualist community following the death of her younger sister.” Kelen Coleman and Kevin Alejandro star.
DiBlasi directed from a screenplay by producers Scott Poiley and Bruce Wood. The film premiered at ScreamFest LA 2011.
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
