Uncork’d Entertainment has acquired Lee Foster‘s supernatural horror In It’s Wake and set the release for this August. “There’s nowhere to go… In the past, it’s been called The Wild Hunt, a time when holy men who have strayed from the path find themselves pursued by dark forces. With two groups of unsuspecting young travelers caught in between, a former minister encounters such a force as the sinister Duke of Crows unleashes his hound that leaves nothing but death in its wake.” “With great creature effects, fun direction, and a wonderful mesh of religious horror and thrills – much like one of the big films of 2023, The Pope’s Exorcist – In It’s Wage is likely going to have many anticipating its release in August.”, said Keith Leopard, President Uncork’d Entertainment.

As temperatures continue to rise, a legendary horror icon returns this September in Saw X. John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back. Today, we can share with you the first glimpse of the killer known for his brutal games of life or death. “The most disturbing installment of the Saw franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw’s most personal game. Set between the events of Saw I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.” Saw X is directed by Kevin Greutert and written by Peter Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg.

A new, first-look clip and poster have been released for Zach Clark’s upcoming genre-bending film The Becomers ahead of its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival on July 22nd. The film follows a body-snatching alien who comes to Earth, reconnects with their partner, and tries to find their way in modern America. Written and conceived in early 2021, the film reflects the challenges of the real world at the time through its pointedly chaotic portrayal of society, with science fiction elements heavily inspired by the original “Star Trek” series. A true brew of surprising genres, the film is all at once comedic, horrific, grotesque, and romantic. “The Becomers is a story of love, longing, and alienation,” said Clark on his latest. “A kitsch-soaked, pathos-laden melodrama about our sad, sad planet.” The Becomers marks Clark’s second time screening at the Fantasia International Film Festival following the 2016 Canadian premiere of Little Sister, with the festival calling him “one of
