The Fate Of The World Hangs In The Balance In The 'Deliver Us' Trailer

The Fate Of The World Hangs In The Balance In The ‘Deliver Us’ Trailer

There have been several supernatural films released over the past year. Still, there is one headed your way that we already have a lot of faith in, Deliver Us, a new twist on the subgenre of religious horror. “When a nun in a remote convent claims immaculate conception, the Vatican sends a team of priests to investigate. Concerns grow that an ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled: that a woman will give birth to twin boys – one the Messiah, the other the Anti-Christ – and the ensuing battle will determine the world’s fate.” From the directing duo of Cru Ennis (Shot Caller) and Lee Roy Kunz (A Beer Tale), Deliver Us stars Maria Vera Ratti, Lee Roy Kunz, Aleksander Mikoš McCarthy, Hans Robert Varts, and Alexander Siddig.

Spoiler-Free Reviews: THE BANALITY and WATCHDOG (Popcorn Frights)

Spoiler-Free Reviews: THE BANALITY and WATCHDOG (Popcorn Frights)

THE BANALITY (2023) The Banality (AKA Death Letter Blues) is a moving meditation on the mysteries of life peppered with supernatural elements, set in rural Mississippi and rich in southern gothic atmosphere. A young feral boy is found in the area and town priest Father Moss (Sherman Augustus) persuades a childless couple to adopt him. Eleven years later, the boy has adapted well to life in the small town but is harassed by some of his classmates. When he turns up dead after a nighttime outdoor party, Father Moss, the parents, and practically every other local in the small community is affected by his demise one way or another. Gorgeous looking and wonderfully acted, this unique offering from cowriters/codirectors Strack Azar and Michael Stevantoni is contemplative, existential horror on the quiet side that asks viewers to consider how dark choices can lead to consequences years later, and even how such actions may affect people after their passing, whether or not

Spoiler-Free Reviews: BIBI and WINTERTIDE (Cinequest)

BIBI (2023) A gorgeous looking meditation on grief and loss, writer/director Christopher Beatty’s atmospheric thriller Bibi uses gothic elements in its story of a woman named Vivan (Elizabeth Paige in a riveting lead performance) and the troubled relationship she has with her teen daughter Bibi (Judith Ann DiMinni). Vivian has suffered psychological issues since childhood, when her father caused her sister’s death. Now plagued further by Bibi’s troubling behavior and the threat of danger from a constant intruder, Vivian is spiraling further downward. Seasoned viewers of psychological shockers may sometimes find themselves a step or so ahead of some of the proceedings, but the journey to the end of the film is one well worth taking thanks to gorgeous set design by Melissa Edmond and art direction by Alec Addalia, sumptuous cinematography by John W. Rutland, a compelling story and assured direction from Beatty, and a terrific performance from Paige with fine support from DiMinni. WINTERTIDE (2023) Director John Barnard’s

The Lost Tapes: New True Crime Docuseries Explores The Life Of Ed Gein, The Killer That Inspired ‘Psycho’

True crime fans are a special breed, much like horror fans. They are always looking for their next fix. MGM+ will release a new series to feed true crime fans’ hunger. They have just announced their new upcoming docuseries, “Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein.” Directed and executive produced by James Buddy Day (Blumhouse’s Compendium of Horror, Fall River), the series follows the story of the horrifying grave robber and serial killer Ed Gein, otherwise known as “The Plainfield Ghoul” and “The Mad Butcher,” whose crimes inspired such iconic films as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.

Scottish Novelist Turning Viral Tweet About "Midges" Into A Horror Movie

Scottish Novelist Turning Viral Tweet About “Midges” Into A Horror Movie

Earlier this month, a Scottish crime writer, Barry Hutchison, who pens his best-selling “DCI Logan” series under the pseudonym JD Kirk, went viral after jokingly tweeting about the horrors of Scottish midges and how he would love to make the notorious nuisances into a horror movie. Fans loved the idea and quickly began posting story ideas and sharing images. Midges, or midgies (mi-jees), as they’re known in Scotland, are a species of biting insect. Though small, midgies are regarded by locals as Scotland’s most fearsome creature. Kirk was inspired and the reactions to the internet joke and has since begun working on a script. Pre-production is quickly picking up steam with Alessio Avezzano (Islanders) signing on to direct, with Mick Betancourt (“The Purge,” Law & Order: SVU) producing. “What started as an inside joke on Twitter has grown legs, and wings to boot, in a matter of weeks. We’ve gone from a title and a few concept images to a
