The deeply disturbing horror film The Family, from the creative duo Dan Slater (director, co-writer) and Adam Booth (producer, co-writer), is set to make its World Premiere at the Busan International Film Festival on October 8, 2021. Ahead of its debut, we’ve got the trailer. The Family delves into brooding and unpredictable family ethics. The feature redefines the notion of terror and explores psychological and physical trauma in a genre-bending sinister tale. Raised to fear what lurks beyond the borders of their farm, a young family must free themselves from the tyrannical rule of their merciless Father and Mother. The co-writers Slater and Booth were inspired by the vulnerability of people and the ability of cults to exploit their fears and beliefs to separate them from the rest of the world. This reflection led the filmmakers to invent a cult religion from scratch. “We’ve both always been fascinated by the idea of cults and people in society being indoctrinated by

Mike Flanagan, the brilliant mind behind Netflix’s “Haunting of Hill House,” Doctor Sleep, and Geralds’s Game, is back with his latest genre offering, the Netflix series “Midnight Mass.” WARNING SPOILERS! Now, if you’re expecting something haunting like “Haunting of Hill Houe,” you’ll be sorely disappointed. “Midnight Mass” is a whole different monster entirely. Instead of dark paranormal horror, we get religious horror. The series centers on an isolated island community that experiences miraculous events – and frightening omens – after a charismatic, mysterious young priest arrives. Religion is the main topic throughout the series, and there’s a fine line between too much and just enough. The constant preaching and non-stop bible quotes overshadowed the story and the horror we were promised. The tale of the characters and their struggles take a back seat to the hours of religious idealogy and sermons, which annoyed me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with religion, but it felt like “Midnight Mass” was trying

Soon, eight strangers find themselves barricaded inside a rural farmhouse in an attempt to survive against the ever-growing army of murderous creatures outside. But they soon realize the real threat is not what’s trying to get inside… it’s each other.” It’s not so much a remake as it is a modern-day retelling of the ground-breaking masterpiece. It will readdress the original topics such as racial prejudice and government control but also interject ideas of homophobia and religious influence on modern society.”
