XLrator Goes 3D With ‘The Banshee Chapter’
Zachary Quinto’s production company, Before The Door Pictures, partnered with Sunchaser Entertainment and German producer Christian Arnold-Beutel (The Ledge) to produce the elevated horror feature The Banshee Chapter. Interactive and transmedia director Blair Erickson wrote and directed the film that has now been picked up for U.S. distribution by XLrator Media.
“‘Banshee’ centers on a young, female journalist who follows the mysterious trail of a missing friend who had been experimenting with mind-altering chemicals developed in secret government drug tests. A fast-paced blend of fact and fiction, the film is based on real documents, actual test subject testimony, and uncovered secrets about programs run by the CIA.”
We’ll keep you posted on a release date.
South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan, “Human Vapor“) is back this summer with a new outbreak nightmare in Colony, and new key art warns that surviving the infected hive won’t be easy.
Look for the infection horror movie in theaters on August 28, 2026.
The South Korean horror movie follows Professor Se-jeong as she is thrust into a terrifying hellscape when a mutating virus is unleashed during a biotech conference, forcing authorities to seal the facility to contain the outbreak. Se-jeong and a group of survivors must fight to stay alive as the infected undergo horrific transformations and threaten to spread the virus.
Colony marks Gianna Jun’s (Blood: The Last Vampire, “My Sassy Girl”) first feature film since 2015’s Assassination. She stars alongside Koo Kyo-hwan (Peninsula, Escape from Mogadishu).
“With Colony, [Sang-ho] takes the intensity and scale even further, delivering a bold and terrifying new vision for fans,” teases Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO of Well Go USA.
Ji Chang-wook (“Healer”) and Shin Hyun-been (“Hospital Playlist”) also star.
Colony is presented by Showbox and produced by Wowpoint and Smilegate.
The viral outbreak horror movie is rated ‘R’ this week for “bloody violent content and some language.”
