‘You’re Next’ Is Coming To Comic-Con!! Watch The Movie And Attend The Masters Of The Web Panel!!
Lionsgate will be bringing You’re Next, the much anticipated slasher from filmmaking duo Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (A Horrible Way to Die, V/H/S, V/H/S/2) to Comic-Con this year! I loved this movie, so I’m excited to announce that it will be screening Wednesday, July 17th at 9pm at the Reading Cinemas Gaslamp Theatre (followed by a John Campea moderated Q&A with Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett and star Sharni Vinson).
I’m also stoked to be a guest on the horror edition of the “Masters Of The Web” panel that’s happening in conjunction with the film. That’s right, you can throw soft objects at me if you want! That happens on Thursday, July 18 at 1130AM in room 24ABC. Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett will moderate the event. The full list of guests for the panel is as follows: Ryan Turek (ShockTillYouDrop.com), Evan Dickson (Bloody-Disgusting.Com), Grae Drake (RottenTomatoes.Com), Heather Wixson (DreadCentral.Com), Lawrence Raffel (FearNet.com), James “Jimmy O” Oster (JoBlo.com). It’s hosted by John Campea (AMC Theatres). AMC is generously providing free movies passes to all attendees of the panel this year!
In theaters August 23, the film reinvents the genre by putting a fresh twist on home-invasion horror. “When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped…until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.” You can follow the film on its awesome Tumblr, as well as Facebook and Instagram.
We have FOUR tickets to giveaway! If you live in San Diego, or will be there for SDCC, leave a note in the comments telling us WHY you want to see the movie so bad! I’ll pick the winners within a week and notify them.
The found footage movie Hunting Matthew Nichols was independently self-released in theaters back in April, the film scaring up a solid $710,532 in around 1,000 theaters across the country. We don’t yet have an at-home release date for the film, but a sequel is in the works.
Deadline reports that director Markian Tarasiuk has signed with Anonymous Content for representation in the wake of the film’s theatrical release, and it’s within this report that Deadline makes mention of a sequel. Deadline notes, “Tarasiuk is currently developing a sequel to the hit indie title as he continues to build toward larger-scale commercial studio filmmaking.”
Hunting Matthew Nichols was made on a budget of just $275,000, and the film’s low budget and self distribution strategy allowed for it to become profitable in theaters.
Markian Tarasiuk makes his directorial debut on the Canadian indie found footage film. He also stars alongside Miranda MacDougall and Ryan Alexander McDonald.
“On Halloween 2001, Matthew Nichols and Jordan Reimer went into the forests of northern Vancouver Island near Port Rupert with a VHS camcorder — and vanished without a trace. Their camera was later recovered, but the boys were never found. Two decades later, Matthew’s sister, Tara, has hired a film crew to document her search for answers.”
“A sneaky, simmering take on the true crime folk horror genre that boils over and becomes truly unnerving,” Steven Soderbergh (Contagion, Ocean’s Eleven) had praised.
Stay tuned for at-home release information for Hunting Matthew Nichols.
Luiz H.C. wrote in his review for Bloody Disgusting, “I’d recommend this indie gem to fans of slow-burning supernatural terror everywhere – as well as true crime enthusiasts who wish that missing persons cases could come with a side of paranormal frights.”
