‘Do Not Reply’ Trailer Urges You To Delete Your Profile

The psychological social horror Do Not Reply is set to premiere at the New York City Horror Film Festival on December 6th followed by its screening at Another Hole in the Head Film Festival on December 14th. The award-winning film from the father-son directing duo of Daniel Woltosz and Walt Woltosz centers on Chelsea, an introverted teen, who falls prey to a handsome young man, Brad.

There she is drugged and abducted and wakes up alone, chained, and in a fortified house with other girls whom Brad intends to kill in his virtual-reality-filmed murders.

Bree Klauser Talks About The Amazing World Of Apple TVs “See” And More

November 8th we will be introduced to a new amazing series, “See” set in a dystopian future where the human race has lost the sense of sight and society has had to find new ways to interact, build, hunt and to survive. All of that is challenged when a set of twins are born with sight.
