Justin P. Lange’s new supernatural horror The Seventh Day has just been released. The film follows exorcist Father Peter (Guy Pearce) who teams up with a rookie apprentice for his first day of training. As they plunge deeper into hell on earth, the lines between good and evil blur, and their own demons emerge. I’ll be honest before I sat down to watch The Seventh Day I had assumed it would be your average exorcism movie, I can now tell you that I was wrong. Seventh Day is far from the exorcism movies we’ve come accustomed to. What we usually get is a movie that’s predictable with a story we feel like we’ve seen a hundred times. Truthfully, we haven’t gotten a really good exorcism movie since The Exorcist III, until now. I have a talent for guessing the way a movie will end, but this movie left me completely surprised and packs one hell of a twist that you

Back in December, we reported that Unearthed Films was gearing up to release a documentary exploring one of the most controversial films ever made, A Serbian Film. Today, we have a sneak peek of that documentary to share with you. A Serbian Film, unleashed on the world in 2010, has left many traumatized.

A Serbian Documentary is unlike any movie documentary before it. Curated from over 150 hours of behind-the-scenes footage with brand new, never-before-seen interviews with the cast and crew, this documentary is a must-have for any collector and will answer most, if not all of the questions out
