Breaking Glass Acquires Chilling Horror ‘The Suffering’
Breaking Glass has acquired U.S. and Canadian distribution rights to THE SUFFERING, an independent horror film by Robert Hamilton. THE SUFFERING stars Nick Apostolides (The House Across the Street), Regen Wilson (Killing Lincoln), Phil Amico (The Patient), and Chad Eric Smith (Squid Man).
The film premiered at the Skyway Film Festival in 2015 and took home the Audience Award. THE SUFFERING also screened at the Culver City Film Festival in December 2015. Breaking Glass’ CEO Rich Wolff negotiated the deal with Todd Slater from Blue Fox Entertainment at the 2016 South By Southwest Film Festival.
“Breaking Glass Pictures has a terrific plan for THE SUFFERING, and they were a pleasure to work with while crafting the agreement,” says Todd Slater of Blue Fox Entertainment. “We couldn’t be more thrilled about the acquisition.”
Synopsis:
Henry Dawles is at a cross roads in life. With a diminished bank account and a baby on the way with his estranged wife, his personal life in shambles. When Mr. Remiel, an elderly shut in, offers Henry a lucrative sum to appraise his rural estate, he accepts without hesitation. What follows is a harrowing exploration of mind and madness. When Henry closes in on the lands’ dark truth, Remiel’s eccentric behavior takes a menacing and unforgettable turn.
Breaking Glass is planning a limited theatrical and On Demand release for July 2016.
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.
