[Trailer] Hammer Horror Influences ‘The Good Samaritans’!

Published

on

Bloody Disgusting is proud to premiere the trailer for Christopher Goodman‘s Hammer Horror-inspired The Good Samaritans, but not for the reason you might think. It’s always great to get an exclusive, but The Good Samaritans is special because it was created in the service of fostering an appreciation for horror filmmaking in students studying under the National Film and Television School production, in collaboration with Neill Gorton Prosthetic Studio. And wherever people are advancing the cause of horror as art, we’re thankful.

This is the fourth year the institutions have worked hand-in-hand to produce a horror film that shows off the work of their students in the context of a real film project, and Goodman has been at the forefront of each annual project.

“Each year I’m tasked to come up with a story concept that would give the students an opportunity to really push the limits of what they can do,” Goodman told me. ” I wanted to challenge them with a fantasy story that would require realistic gore, CGI creatures, a full period setting and immersive sound design.”

My love of Hammer Horror films inspired me to go with a retro vibe and I came up with the story of ‘The Good Samaritans’.

The film centers on a beautiful young woman is stranded alone in a desolate corner of 16th century Romania. Two opportunistic highwaymen seek to take advantage of the woman’s predicament but all is not as it seems…

You can take a look at the short’s first trailer right here and we’ll be sure to post the final film when it’s finally released.

‘Late Night With the Devil’ – Exclusive Clip Begins the Supernatural Horror on Halloween 1977

Published

on

The upcoming Late Night With the Devil is one of the most buzzed about horror movies of the year, currently 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and earning rave reviews from both Stephen King and Kevin Smith. King raves that the film is “absolutely brilliant,” adding that he couldn’t take his eyes off it. Smith comments, “I love it. It’s Rosemary’s Baby meets Network.”

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as the host of a late-night talk show that descends into a nightmare in the Ghostwatch and WNUF Halloween Special-inspired film.

IFC Films & Shudder will release the hotly anticipated Late Night with the Devil theatrically on March 22 before it heads to Shudder exclusively on April 19, 2024.

Begin the horror with a brand new EXCLUSIVE clip below…

David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence.

The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign). 

The film premiered last year at SXSW. Meagan wrote in her review out of the fest, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.

“The ingenuity, the painstaking period recreation, a riveting performance by Dastmalchian, and a showstopper of a finale make for one Halloween event you won’t want to miss.”

Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (It, The Grudge, The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary, Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Derek Dauchy (“Al Kameen”) and Future Pictures’ Mat Govoni (“Lone Wolf”) and Adam White (“Lone Wolf”) and John Molloy are all producing.

Joel Anderson (Lake Mungo), Rami Yasin, and David Dastmalchian executive produce.
