Terror Films Teams Up With Streaming Service Horrify

U.S. based genre distributor Terror Films has closed a multi-picture content deal with Dutch Streaming service Horrify. The terms, which were negotiated at AFM between Terror Films President of Worldwide Distribution, Joe Dain and Horrify Director of Content and Programming, Lemke Roos will include 20 films such as the highly successful Hell House LLC franchise, the politically charged Savageland, Australian horror film, Inner Demon and the critically acclaimed ride-share thriller, End Trip – among others. This new partnership is one more step in expanding our digital footprint on a global scale. As we increasingly see less and less opportunity to secure sales for indie horror films in the more traditional foreign markets, these direct platform relationships help us diversify without the need for a 3rd party distributor”, stated Terror Films President Joe Dain. Horrify, which launched October 30th, 2018 has since become an instant success and is the largest horror-only steaming SVOD service in the Netherlands with currently over 350

The 2019 edition of Atlanta’s Buried Alive Film Festival is chock full of outstanding, outrageous horror features and shorts from around the world. The fest is scheduled for November 13–17 at 7 Stages Theatre. Following are the features that I am most looking forward to seeing, either for the first time or once again.

These events culminated with a riot during an exhibition in San Francisco, after which the

‘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. Texting leads to phone calls and she agrees to meet Brad – a social media predator and button-down psychopath – at a Halloween warehouse party. 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. A chilling social commentary on the perils of digital connections, the fictional film will have one screening at each festival.
