There Is A Darkness Growing In The New ‘Relic’ Clip

We got a new clip from writer-director Natalie Erika James‘ haunting horror film Relic ahead of its July release. The clip teases that there is a dark entity growing. When elderly mother Edna (Robyn Nevin) inexplicably vanishes, her daughter Kay (Emily Mortimer) and granddaughter Sam (Bella Heathcote) rush to their family’s decaying country home, finding clues of her increasing dementia scattered around the house in her absence.

The ‘Legions’ Trailer Gives Off Serious ‘Evil Dead’ Vibes

FilmSharks has snagged the worldwide sales and rights to remake the Argentinian, English subtitled horror film Legions. And the first trailer has a serious Evil Dead vibe. The film follows a jailed man who must summon his powers of sorcery to escape and rescue his daughter from danger. Directed by Fabian Forte, this supernatural flick stars Germán De Silva (Wild Tales), Lorena Vega (Tigre), and Ezequiel Rodriguez (Soy Luna). Legions is a supernatural story that mixes different narrative lines and genres,” Director Fabian Forte says. “The story is fantastic and contains irony, humor and obviously the elements of the horror genre. These ingredients, plus strong and human characters, evil and imaginary beings (or perhaps not), the dizzying pace and the climates of tension create a product designed for a young audience, where adrenaline and humor are the support to tell a mystical and critical history of the modern world and the lack of beliefs.” The film is headed to the
