A creepy old man oversees the funeral of a young boy. When the family leaves a stranger enters the mortuary, a young woman. As the two talk, she inquires about the help wanted sign outside. But before he can get into the details of the job she asks for a story. Over the film, he shares three terrifying tales filled with blood and murder. Then the young woman takes a turn, revealing a dark secret. The thing is, she has no idea who she’s talking to.

Amanda Seyfried Is Plagued By Dark Forces In Netflix’s New ‘Things Heard & Seen’ Trailer

This April, a couple discovers that a darkness lurks inside their new home in directors Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman‘s horror film Things Heard & Seen, starring Academy Award®-nominee Amanda Seyfried and James Norton. Written by Pulcini and Berman, based on the critically acclaimed novel All Things Cease to Appear by Elizabeth Brundage, the film centers on Catherine Clare (Amanda Seyfried) who reluctantly trades life in 1980s Manhattan for a remote home in the tiny hamlet of Chosen, New York, after her husband George (James Norton) lands a job teaching art history at a small Hudson Valley college. Even as she does her best to transform the old dairy farm into a place where young daughter Franny will be happy, Catherine increasingly finds herself isolated and alone. She soon comes to sense a sinister darkness lurking both in the walls of the ramshackle property-and in her marriage to George.

New 'Offseason' Clip Arrives Ahead Of Its Premiere On Shudder

Film FestivalsReviews

Movie Review (SXSW Online 2021): Offseason

Writer/director Mickey Keating’s latest horror film is Offseason, a terrific, atmospheric chiller that blends Lovecraftian themes, Southern Gothic, conspiracy thriller, and other elements. The result is a brooding stranger-in-a-familiar-yet-strange-land offering that delivers the creeps quite satisfactorily. Marie (Jocelin Donahue) and her significant other George (Joe Swanberg) travel to the island where her mother Ava (Melora Walters), a once famous actress, was buried after the cemetery caretaker wrote, saying that Ava’s grave had been desecrated. The couple must get past the Bridge Man (Richard Brake), who initially refuses them admittance to the island because storm season is starting, and once they do, they find the locals to be less than welcoming and forthcoming — with no sign of a caretaker. Marie and George attempt to leave the island the same way they came, but instead find the road blocked where it was open just moments earlier. They then find themselves in increasing danger as they try to piece together the strange

Panic Film Fest Hybrid In-Person and Virtual Online Lineup Offers a Stellar Array of Chillers and Thrillers

The ninth annual edition of Kansas City’s Panic Fest is loaded with amazing horror, thriller, and genre films, and it will combine both in-person and online screenings. The hybrid edition takes place from April 8–18, 2021. I have seen a few of the films on tap, and can tell you that you will be hard-pressed to find a funnier horror comedy this season than Canadian offering Vicious Fun, while killer stuffed animal comedy Benny Loves You and Australian horror comedy An Ideal Host offer their fair shares of laughs and shocks, as well. Films such as An Unquiet Grave and The Old Ways take darker approaches to fear-fare, and science fiction fans will find features such as Parallel Minds much to their liking. Following is the official press release. Panic Fest kicks off two weeks of genre packed programming as the ninth annual festival begins April 8, 2021, virtually and in person at Screenland Armour in Kansas City, MO. “We

New Details Emerge For Johannes Roberts’ ‘Resident Evil’ Including Its Title

During the SXSW director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night)) not only gave new details about the upcoming Resident Evil movie, but he also revealed its title, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, IGN reports. Set to be released this September, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, which has officially wrapped filming, is an adaptation of the first two games of the hit franchise. Roberts told IGN that the tone of the film was very important to him and that he drew inspiration from John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 and The Fog. The thing I loved about the games is they were just scary as hell and that is very much what I wanted. That atmosphere — it’s rain, it’s constantly dark, it’s creepy. Raccoon City is kind of this rotten character in the movie and that sort of atmosphere in the games I wanted to put in [the film].” Roberts continued, “I’m a huge
