Shudder Shares New Clip From ‘The Advent Calander’ Ahead Of Its Release

Ahead of its December release, Shudder has unveiled a new clip, titled “Captured,” from writer/director Patrick Ridremont’s French horror-fantasy The Advent Calendar, revealing a terrifying monster. In the film, Eva (Eugénie Derouand, Paris Police 1900), an ex-dancer, is now using a wheelchair, unable to walk. When her friend Sophie (Honorine Magnier, Tomorrow is Ours) gives her an old wooden antique advent calendar before Christmas, she realizes each window contains a surprise that triggers repercussions in real life. Some of them are good, but most of them are bad, really bad. Now Eva will have to choose between getting rid of the calendar or walking again – even if it causes death and destruction to everyone she holds dear around her. The Advent Calendar made its world premiere earlier this year at London’s Frightfest and was produced by Alain Benguigui, Virginie Ogouz, Jean-Yves Roubin, and Cassandre Warnauts. Premiering exclusively on Shudder on Tuesday, December 2nd, The Advent Calander combines Faustian themes

Movie Review: “Last Survivors” (Arrow Video FrightFest Halloween Edition)

Last Survivors, the latest entry in the thriller subgenre of “children beginning to question their parents’ philosophies after an apocalyptic event” (this year’s Gaia being one example) is a solid outing fueled by fine performances from its three leads. Troy (Stephen Moyer) is a stern man who has raised his adult son Jake (Drew Van Acker) from very young childhood in a remote mountain area, with the two of them living off the land and storing venison jerky for long winters. Troy has been training Jake to kill any intruders without hesitation to protect what is theirs, and Jake declares himself ready to do so. When Troy is injured during one such confrontation, he tells Jake where a supply of medicine is hidden. The young man goes to fetch it and spies a woman just outside of their property. He has second thoughts about shooting her, and instead breaks into her house, where he learns that her name is Henrietta

Supernatural Horror ‘The Collingswood Story’ Out On Amazon Prime And Blu-ray

The innovative indie horror film The Collingswood Story, originally released in 2002, is available now streaming on Prime Video and available for the first time on Blu-Ray. Years before Zoom and FaceTime, visionary Sundance writer/director Mike Costanza cleverly comprised his micro-budget chiller, The Collingswood Story, out of video chats. Costanza’s cutting-edge concept helped pave the way for future hits such as Host, Paranormal Activity, and Unfriended. In the film, college-aged couple Rebecca Miles and John Dalmass attempt to keep their long-distance relationship alive via video chatting. However, a chance encounter with an online psychic plunge their lives into a world of nightmarish supernatural phenomenon. Stephanie Dees (Halloween IV), Johnny Burton, Grant Edmonds, Glenn Hoeffner, and Diane Behrens (Gas Food Lodging, Moneyball) star in the film that screened at film festivals including Frightfest in London, The Fearless Tales Film Festival in San Francisco, taking home awards such as Best Cast and Best Indie Film.

Arrow Video FrightFest Halloween 2021: 10 Questions with Romola Garai, director/writer of AMULET

London’s Arrow Video FrightFest Halloween event, taking place October 29th and 30th, will include an appearance from director/writer Romola Garai at the U.K. premiere screening of her film Amulet. Garai spoke with Arrow Video FrightFest press staff for this syndicated review in anticipation of the event. AMULET will receive its UK premiere at FrightFest’s Halloween event. Excited or what? So excited! It’s a great honour to have our UK premiere at such a brilliantly subversive festival. We are very grateful! You’re most well known as an actress but have you always wanted to write and direct films? I’ve been writing since my teens but it wasn’t until my late 20’s that I realized I wanted to direct as well and I made my short film SCRUBBER. Now what I’d love is to write, direct and act. Never all three together though! What was the writing process like? Were there any major inspirations and motivations that drove you? I was very

Movie Review (Arrow Video FrightFest): The Retaliators

Strap on your seat belts and turn the volume up loud for The Retaliators (2021), a high-octane combination of revenge thriller, crime drama, and outright horror movie from codirectors Samuel Gonzalez Jr. and Bridget Smith. Power plays, power tools, and power chords abound in this gore-fueled exploitation shocker that serves up a fair amount of surprises. In the film’s opening sequence, two women have trouble with their van and are attacked by what look to be either zombies or backwoods mutants (I won’t spoil what they actually are). A bloodied rescuer attempts to save one of them, laying the groundwork for the scare fare ahead. Pastor John Bishop (Michael Lombardi) is the widowed father of two daughters, living in a peaceful, upscale small town. His teenage daughter Rebecca (Abbey Hafer) accidentally witnesses a crime in progress and is ruthlessly murdered by a vicious baddie named Ram Kady (Joseph Gatt). When local cop Jed (Marc Menchaca) offers Bishop an opportunity at
