Following Festival Hit ‘Arisaka,’ Mikhail Red Begins Production On ‘Deleter’

Philippines director Mikhail Red‘s upcoming film Deleter, part techno horror, part psychological thriller, begins production this August and should wrap this September, Variety reports. “The story involves an online content moderator who deletes a suicide video made by her co-worker. But the otherwise desensitized woman cannot escape from either her own troubled past or from a mysterious vengeful presence.” Written by Red and his brother Nikolas, the film stars actress-influencer Nadin Lustre, McCoy Deleon, and Louis Delos Reves. “[The Philippines] is now known as the content moderation capital of the world,“ Red told Variety. “Moderators work in clandestine or shadowy operations and are often exposed to the filth of society, watching countless videos and images with disturbing and graphic content, which can lead to lasting trauma, as well as psychological and emotional distress all for a low wage.” Variety quotes the director as saying. “Most of them do not have proper access to proper work benefits, mental health support, and

There are a lot of reasons why people look forward to spooky season, aka Halloween, but many are stoked about the upcoming third and final film of director David Gordon Green‘s new Halloween trilogy, Halloween Ends. John Carpenter, who directed the 1978 original and who is featured on the Halloween Ends soundtrack and is executive producing, had this to say about the upcoming sequel. “You’ll see it’s a departure from the others. It’s interesting. Dave is a really good director. I love working with him,” Carpenter said while speaking to SYFY Wire. Other people involved with the movie have also put their two cents in. Chris Nelson, who is the special effects master for the film, has called it “weird.” While Nick Castle, the man behind the iconic white mask, describes it as “surprising.” Producer Jason Blum says it’s “very good.” He also teased that the official trailer is “dangerously close,” so we should see it soon.
