'Squeal' Trailer Teases That A Little Piggy Should Have Stayed Home

First Images Surface From The Dark Film ‘Squeal’

From director Aik Karapetian comes the dark horror-comedy Squeal, written by the director and Aleksandr Rodionov. Today, we’ve got the first look at the film. The dark fairy tale centers on Samuel (Kevin Janssens), who is far from home, searching for his father. Lost in remotest Eastern Europe, on the edges of a mythical forest, a minor road accident leads to a chance meeting with a pig-farmer’s daughter Kirke (Laura Siliņa). Sam soon learns that his priorities must change if he wants to survive. Her initial hospitality is a smoke screen to capture him and make him a forced laborer on the farm. Alone, unable to speak the language, and chained up 24/7 with the pigs, he learns to adapt. Fortunately, a seemingly magical piglet gains Sam’s confidence and shows him the way to freedom and true love. The film, which was an official selection at Fantastic Fest (2022), stars Kevin Janssens, Laura Siliņa, Aigars Vilims, Normunds Griestiņš, Juris Bartkevičs,

New Paranormal Series Will Investigate "Ghosts Of Devil's Perch"

New Paranormal Series Will Investigate “Ghosts Of Devil’s Perch”

An elite team of paranormal investigators race to help a western town in the new series “Ghosts of Devil’s Perch,” premiering this August on Travel Channel and Discovery+. “A mystery is buried beneath the streets of Butte, Montana, and the spirits tethered to the historic mining town’s past are rising to the surface with clues. The discovery of copper in the 1880s turned Butte’s Copper Barons into some of the wealthiest men in America. But the hills that glittered in the sun could also cast sinister shadows of greed and vice at night. This led some to brand the mountain town “The Devil’s Perch.” With the town now intent on rebuilding its image, it seems every renovation project is digging up a paranormal nightmare with residents and businesses reporting terrifying ghostly encounters. In an unlikely partnership, Mayor J.P. Gallagher and Sheriff Ed Lester have called in an elite team of paranormal investigators to help. When investigator Dave Schrader, tech expert

The Best Werewolf Movie Of The Year, 'The Cursed," Is Now On Hulu

The Best Werewolf Movie Of The Year, ‘The Cursed,” Is Now On Hulu

We here at HorrorFuel don’t use the phrase “one of the best horror films of the year,” lightly, but that’s exactly what we called The Cursed in our review. Now, this brilliant, dark, and brutal werewolf film is available on Hulu. The gothic film, originally titled Eight for Silver, is set ”In the late 1800s, a once-peaceful remote country village is under attack—but by who or what, no one knows. Villagers spread rumors of a cursed land, supernatural forces, and even demonic creatures, as the disappearances and killings continue. Pathologist John McBride arrives to investigate the danger, only to discover something much deeper and more sinister than he ever could have imagined.” Written and directed by Sean Ellis, the film stars Boyd Holbrook (The Sandman, The Fugitive, Logan), Kelly Reilly (“Yellowstone,” “True Detective”), and Alistair Petrie (“Sex Education,” Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Night Manager) and is a reimagining of the werewolf legend for a modern-day audience.
