‘Dolly’ – Bloody Disgusting Presents FREE Sneak Screenings of Gory and Grisly Backwoods Slasher
Mother knows best in Dolly. The latest hard R feature from Independent Film Company and Shudder draws inspiration from gritty ’70s horror (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes) and the New French Extremity movement (High Tension, Martyrs). Although it doesn’t hit theaters until March 6th, Bloody Disgusting has the early ticket.
On Tuesday, March 3rd, we’re presenting FREE special sneak screenings in Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and Orlando. All screenings start at 7 PM local. However, those on the coast will want to stick around following the film for Q&As with Sean William Scott/Fabianne Therese in Los Angeles and Ethan Suplee in New York. Both hosted by Bloody Disgusting.

Shot on 16mm film, Dolly recently received an R rating for “strong violence, gore, grisly images, language, and some nudity.”
The film centers on Macy, a young woman fighting for survival after being taken by a deranged, monstrous figure intent on raising her as their child.
Fabianne Therese (John Dies at the End), Seann William Scott (American Pie), Ethan Suplee (Mallrats), and pro wrestler Max the Impaler star.
Rod Blackhurst (“Amanda Knox,” Night Swim) directs from a script he co-wrote with Brandon Weavil, based on their 2022 short Babygirl.
Following a successful festival run that included Toronto International Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Sitges, Telluride Horror Show, and more, a prequel exploring the titular character’s origins and mythology is already in development. Stay tuned for fresh updates.
Sam Neill, the New Zealand actor best known for his role in 1993’s Jurassic Park, has passed away this week at 78 years old. In a statement shared on Neill’s Instagram page this morning, the actor’s family said that his passing was “sudden and unexpected.”
Neill had been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2022, but stated the following year that he was in remission. The family notes that he “remained cancer free” at the time of his passing.
The family statement reads, “It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney Australia. Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life. The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free.
“They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care. More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.”
In addition to his iconic role as Dr. Alan Grant in the original Jurassic Park and the sequels Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World: Dominion, Sam Neill left an indelible mark on the horror genre with memorable roles in Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession, The Omen: The Final Conflict, John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness, and sci-fi horror favorite Event Horizon.
Sam Neill’s vast resume in film and television began in the early 1970s and also includes the films Sleeping Dogs, Enigma, The Good Wife, A Cry in the Dark, Dead Calm, The Hunt for Red October, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Hostage, The Jungle Book, Snow White: A Tale of Terror, The Horse Whisperer, Bicentennial Man, Daybreakers, Escape Plan, and Thor: Ragnarok.
Sam Neill is survived by his four children and eight grandchildren.
Steven Spielberg said in a statement to Variety, “I owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Donaldson, Gilliam Armstrong, Graham Baker and Phillip Noyce for casting Sam Neill in the roles in which he was so brilliant that brought him to my attention and led to his playing Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. Sam was exceptionally collaborative. It was a stretch for him to play a character who acted as though children were messy and smelly because this was the opposite of the loving father he was to his children. I adored making all the Jurassic movies with him.”
Spielberg adds, “Along with Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, we will always have our Jurassic family and Sam will never be forgotten by us or his many millions of fans around the world.”
