Three men gather around a body in the first image from Millennium Media’s new horror-thriller Abyzou, which Decal acquired at Cannes. In the film, the son of a Jewish funeral director returns home with his pregnant in tow. When the family receives a mysterious body, they are unaware that it holds an ancient demon with sinister plans for the unborn child. Nick Blood (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), Allan Corduner (“Homeland”), Emm Wiseman (Winchester), and Paul Kaye (“Game of Thrones”) star in the film directed by Oliver Park. Hank Hoffman penned the script with Jonathan Yunger. According to lore and myths, Abyzou “The Taker of Children” is the demon often blamed for miscarriages and infant deaths.

Deadline reports that Abyzou will land in

IFC Midnight’s dark thriller Disappearance at Clifton Hill, from director Albert Shin (In Her Place), is streaming on Netflix and is currently at #4 on its top 10 list. In the film, “Following her mother’s death, Abby (Tuppence Middleton, The Imitation Game, Downton Abbey), a troubled young woman with a checkered past, returns to her hometown of Niagara Falls and the dilapidated motel her family used to run. While there, she finds herself drawn into a mystery that has haunted her since childhood: what happened to the young boy she saw being violently abducted in the woods twenty-five years ago? As Abby sets out to find out the truth, she must confront a shocking, long-buried conspiracy that runs as deep as the falls themselves and her inner demons.

Odds are, you have watched the first half of “Stranger Things” season 4. Many fans have now picked up on the similarities between this season and the Nightmare on Elm franchise. Should we call it “Stranger Things On Elm Street?” Let’s break it down. First, all of the kids targeted by Vecna (this season’s big bad) are plagued by terrifying dreams. Sound familiar? Next, and the most obvious connection, is that Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, makes several appearances this season. Englund plays Victor Creel in the series, a man accused of murdering his family and children. Of course, we all know that Krueger was a child killer, but there’s more. Freddy is scarred when he was lit on fire, and Creel’s face is heavily scarred in the act of self-mutilation. In Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy started as a man and was sent into the dream world when he died. In “Stranger Things,” Vecna started as a man raised
