An ‘Inner Demons’ Exorcism (New Clips!)
Seth Grossman will take an intervention to another level.
Starring Lara Vosburgh, Morgan McClellan, and Colleen McGrann, IFC Midnight sneaks us some new footage from Inner Demons, out in theaters and VOD October 3.
“When the teenage daughter of a religious family transforms from A-student into heroin addict, her parents agree to allow a reality TV crew to stage an intervention and tape her recovery. What they don’t know is that she has been taking drugs to deal with the unnatural, evil feelings growing inside her. When she agrees to rehab, with no drugs to suppress what’s inside, the demon emerges.
A suspenseful and clever reinvention of both the found-footage and possession genres, Inner Demons expertly plays on our culture’s love of reality television. Director Seth Grossman, who worked as a producer on “Intervention,” deftly guides the audience down a path where addiction is just a temporary cure for something much more evil.“
1995’s pumpkinhead scarecrow is back in the sequel Jack-O 2, and filmmaker Fred Olen Ray (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Evil Toons) has unveiled the first trailer.
Ray writes and directs the sequel.
“JACK-O 2 pushes our characters—and our audience—to the edge while honoring the outrageous spirit of the original,” says Ray. “It’s a return to practical, in-your-face horror filmmaking.”
The original film introduced its killer pumpkinhead scarecrow as he was summoned on Halloween night to seek vengeance on behalf of a warlock. The new trailer continues the Halloween murder and dark wizardry exploits.
Genre stalwarts Sybil Danning (Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf), Richard Gabai (Demon Wind), Sushii Xhyvette Holder (Naked Cannibal Campers), Martin Nicholas (The Alien Dead), and Annah Arias star.
“My passion springs from the heyday of the 1970s drive-in movie theater where I thrilled to great homegrown exploitation movies like Slithis, Death Curse of Tartu , and Gator Bait,” noted Ray. “When I began my career, it was in movies like Shock Waves and my swamp epic The Alien Dead starring serial legend Buster Crabbe. I have long awaited a return to the genre I love so much, and now Jack-O 2 is my chance.”
Ray will produce alongside Sean Donohue, with original Jack-O director Steve Latshaw and exploitation maven William Grefé (Mako: The Jaws of Death) executive producing.
There’s no official release date yet, so stay tuned.
