Get Ready To Rumble With Raven Banner In ‘The Dead Room’

Published

on

I think we call all agree that sound is an integral part of movie making, adding atmosphere & heightening emotional impact.  Genre movies are often guilty of abusing aural impact with twangs & booms for jump scares.  Now a new technology is being trialed called ‘RUMBLE™‘.  The first feature to take advantage of this is The Dead Room.  Here’s a bit about the movie which was released over Halloween in it’s native New Zealand & was being sold at American Film Market.

When a terrified family flees a desolate southern New Zealand farmhouse, two cynical scientists and a young psychic are sent to investigate their claims of a haunting. There they encounter a powerful spirit that will protect the house’s secrets at all cost.

The Dead Room is inspired by the chilling urban legend surrounding a farmhouse in Central Otago, New Zealand. In the early 1970s, two science tutors went to debunk claims a rural house was haunted and uncovered an incredibly disturbing mystery.

RUMBLE™ is a new audio technology designed to hit the bottom frequencies of most cinema’s sub effects speakers.

When performing at infrasonic levels, the bass frequency creates a physical reaction an audience can literally feel. Combined with a heightened sense of tension and fear, RUMBLE™ has been shown to increase pulse rates, heighten blood pressure and temporarily release cortisol in test subjects. Medical professionals consulted believe that RUMBLE™ is deemed safe with limited exposure, but caution those with a nervous disposition to avoid prolonged or multiple exposures to the technology. Subjects have reported an increased sense of unease and dread after 20 minute RUMBLE™ test sessions.

In some studies, scientists have debunked reported paranormal experiences as probable exposure to the effects of infrasonic sound waves.

In the spirit of transparency I first heard about this film though working with the sales agent, Raven Banner Entertainment, on various projects.

Anna Faris & Regina Hall Promise ‘Scary Movie’ Will “Offend Everyone;” New Images Revealed

Published

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.

“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”

Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”

EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.

Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.

The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.

Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).

The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and everyfinal chapterthat absolutely isn’t final.

Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
