U.K.'s Fortean Film Festival Set to Open Eyes and Minds to the Highly Unusual

U.K.’s Fortean Film Festival Set to Open Eyes and Minds to the Highly Unusual

Are you intrigued by the unbelievable, the unusual, and the unexplained? If so, the International Fortean Film Festival’s 2022 edition, set for September 2 and 3 in Gloucester, U.K., should be your destination for high-strangeness cinema. From the supernatural to cryptozoology to alien life and far beyond, the fest has selected an outstanding array of narrative and documentary features and short films. I can already attest to the hypnotic draw of writer/director Alexander Roman’s New Orleans-set occult mystery Cats of the Bayou (ASMR). Following are a few of the other highlights from the festival’s official selections that I am greatly looking forward to. For more information including the full list of official selections and ticket purchasing, visit https://www.forteanfilmfestival.com/. PANTHERA BRITTANIA: Director Matt Everett’s documentary delves into the possibility of Alien Big Cats (ABCs) as the filmmaker lets experts and eyewitnesses have their say.

Hellraiser: Pinhead And The Cenobites Raise Hell On Hulu This Halloween Season

Hulu has finally given David Bruckner‘s (The Night House) Hellraiser a release date, unleashing the cenobites this Halloween season. In the movie, “A young woman struggling with addiction comes into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the Cenobites, a group of sadistic supernatural beings from another dimension.” The fact that franchise creator Clive Barker is producing the film, and that it has a rated R for “Strong bloody horror violence and gore, language throughout, some sexual content, and brief graphic nudity,” gives the film a shot at being good, unlike some of the previous installments. Odessa A’zion, Adam Faison, Drew Starkey, Brandon Flynn, Aoife Hinds, Jason Liles, Yinka Olorunnife, Selina Lo, Zachary Hing, Kit Clarke, Goran Visnjic, and Hiam Abbass star alongside Jamie Clayton who is the new Pinhead.

Life Is Hell For A Teen Possessed In ‘My Best Friend’s Exorcism’ (Trailer)

Author Grady Hendrix is well a well-known horror author, delivering novels such as The Final Girl Support Group and Horrorstör.

With assistance from overly confident mall exorcist Christian Lemon (Christopher Lowell), Abby is determined to compel the demon back to the pits of hell—if it doesn’t kill Gretchen first.” Directed by Damon Thoman and written by Jenna Lamia, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, which combines horror with a hint of comedy, lands on Prime Video on September 30, 2022.

Sinister Fishing Adventure ‘DREDGE’ Launches in 2023

Team 17 and Black Salt Games today announced their partnership in bringing the fishing adventure game (with a twist) DREDGE to PC and Consoles in 2023, giving you plenty of time to get a bigger boat… In DREDGE, players will step into the boots of a down-on-their-luck fisherman and explore a collection of remote isles while scouring the surrounding depths for various fish and valuable deep-sea curios. Once their trawler is full, they can sell their haul to the peculiar locals while completing quests and unraveling more about each area. They can also reinforce their vessel, skills, and knowledge to dredge deeper and reach more secluded lands. Beginning in their new home in the remote islands of ‘The Marrows’, players can investigate each inlet while completing tasks for the yesteryear locals and taking trips to neighboring regions – each with their unique fish to find, inhabitants to meet, and secrets to uncover.
