In the film, it’s up to struggling artists Tim and Stuart to figure out who keeps killing the life of the party.

The star-studded vampire film Living Among Us has set its fangs into a release date. In Living Among Us, “Vampires have just made themselves public, and a documentary crew have been invited by their sectional leader to spend time with a family of vampires to see how they live. When they discover their secrets, how much danger will they put themselves in to get the footage they need? Living Among Us is an entertaining, modern supernatural horror and a commentary on today’s society, media and politics.” The film stars the late John Heard (Home Alone), alongside Ésme Bianco (Game of Thrones), Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie), William Sadler (The Shawshank Redemption), James Russo (Django Unchained), Andrew Keegan (10 Things I Hate About You), Jordan Hinson (Eureka), Hunter Gomez (National Treasure), and Jessica Morris (The Wrong Man).

What could be more terrifying than William Friedkin’s The Exorcist? How about a real exorcism caught on tape? Recently, Friedkin set out to make a documentary of the real rites of exorcism, similar to those we witnessed in his terrifying, ground-breaking, 1973 film. In Friedkin’s The Devil and Father Amorth, we will witness the real exorcism of an Italian woman performed by Father Gabriel Amorth. Yes, I said real. In the early 1970s when I directed The Exorcist, I had not witnessed an exorcism but I wondered how close I had come to portraying reality,” Friedkin said. “I had been curious to meet Father Amorth for many years and when he granted permission to meet and film him in Rome last May, it was the opportunity to complete the circle and see how close that film came to reality.” Last year during an interview with Variety he said, “I had to shoot it alone, obviously. The conditions were that I
