We have a very, very special interview from the Toronto International Film Festival that should just about round out our coverage. While at the fest we had the rare pleasure of speaking 30 minutes with Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza, the two brains behind both REC and REC 2, which had its world premiere at the “Midnight Madness” portion of the fest. You can read the interview that really goes in depth about creating scares, among other aspects of the film, by clicking here. The Spanish directors stick to the same claustrophobic concept in REC 2, but find new means of transferring fear from the screen to the spectator through the recording lens.

DeskPop Entertainment is kicking off their summer slate with the North American VOD release of Insane Like Me?, and Bloody Disgusting is exclusively debuting the official trailer today.

Described as “a twisted supernatural thriller where no one trusts what they think they see,” Insane Like Me? debuts on Cable and Digital VOD June 4, 2024, with outlets including Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play, Fandango At Home, Comcast, Dish, and DirecTV.

Director Chip Joslin’s Insane Like Me? is a supernatural thriller about a combat veteran who returns home after a tour of duty overseas. He becomes the lead suspect in his girlfriend’s disappearance and is subsequently wrongly convicted and incarcerated. Nine years later he is released from the mental asylum, he returns home to find the truth and settle the score.

The upcoming horror film is a Bankhead Productions feature from a script by Britt Bankhead. Bankhead stars and produces alongside Grace Patterson (Slotherhouse) as former lovers whose complicated past is nothing compared to what lies ahead when they reunite.

The supporting cast is rounded out by Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts, Samantha Reddy, Jack Maxwell, Paul Kolker and Meg Hobgood.
