‘Incident in a Ghostland’ Clip Dragged Kicking and Screaming Down to the Basement [Exclusive]
Vertical Entertainment will release Martyrs director Pascal Laugier‘s Incident in a Ghostland in theaters and on VOD platforms June 22, 2018. An unconfirmed Amazon date also says Lionsgate will release on DVD July 24th.
Last November, Bloody Disgusting shared an exclusive first look at images from Laugier‘s newest film starring Mylène Farmer, Crystal Reed, and Anastasia Philipps.
“The story follows a mother of two who inherits a home from her Aunt. On the first night in the new home, she is confronted with murderous intruders and fights for her daughter’s lives. Sixteen years later when the daughters reunite at the house, and that is when things get strange…”
This exclusive clip looks like it’s from the aforementioned opening sequence. In it, a mother calls for help as a massive man – looking like Kane in See No Evil – drags two young girls to the basement. As they round the stairs on their way down, they pass a disfigured woman who gives them the middle finger, leading to several questions….
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
