Arrow Obtains French Horror ‘Pandemonium’ (Trailer)

Genre distribution company Arrow Video has just announced that they have acquired UK and North American rights to Pandemonium, the stunning French macabre tale from the creative mind of filmmaker Quarxx. The film follows Nathan (Hugo Dillon), an ordinary man on a journey he never expected. After realizing he has died at the scene of a car crash, Nathan descends into the depths of hell, where he is doomed to experience the pain of tortured souls along the way. Drawing on themes found in Dante’s Inferno and Milton’s Paradise Lost, Pandemonium is a multi-textured existential fantasy with signature notes of visceral horror, disturbing fairy tales, wry comedy, and dark thriller. This twisted tale is directed by Quarxx (All the Gods in the Sky) and stars Hugo Dillon (AKA, November), Ophélia Kolb (Call My Agent!), Albanian star Arben Bajraktaraj (Besa) and rising talent Manon Maindivide (Drops of God).

Spoiler-Free Film Review: LAST STRAW (Sitges Film Festival and Beyond Fest)

Spoiler-Free Film Review: LAST STRAW (Sitges Film Festival and Beyond Fest)

Alan Scott Neal delivers an outstanding slice of genre cinema with his feature-length directorial debut Last Straw. Combining home invasion horror with siege thriller elements, the film takes viewers on a wild, blood-soaked ride reminiscent of now-classic 1970s and 1980s drive-in fare with a decidedly modern approach. Nancy (Jessica Belkin) is a fast-living, foul-mouthed young woman worried about turning 20 years old soon — and courtesy of a roadside pregnancy test, she has some new things weighing on her mind, as well. Living in a small town, she is the manager of a roadside diner, the employees of which point out is only because she is the owner’s (Jeremey Sisto) daughter. After Nancy stands up to four masked ruffians who threaten to come back later after she kicks them out of the place, she wields her managerial power and fires long-standing cook Jake (Taylor Kowalski, who also serves as a producer on the film). Jake takes the other three members

Spoiler- Free Film Review: Aberrance (2022)

Spoiler- Free Film Review: Aberrance (2022)

Baatar Batsukh is a cinematographer making his directorial debut with the Mongolian horror film Aberrance, which he also lensed. The movie is rich in beautifully framed shots and loaded with visual style, bolstering a plot that tries at times to be a bit too surprising. Selenge (Selenge Chadraabal) and Erkhmee (Erkhembayar Ganbat) are a couple who take a break from city life to spend time at — where else but? — a remote cabin in the woods. Something is off between the pair, though, as Erkhmee seems dominant and possibly abusive, which doesn’t go unnoticed by their lone neighbor (Yalalt Namsrai). Meanwhile, Selenge is obviously suffering from trauma, and the claustrophobic environment is only making matters worse. Batsukh, working from a screenplay that he cowrote with Byambasuren Ganbat and Erdene Orosoo, has a keen visual eye, and incorporates everything from cameras attached to actors (with bobbing motion not unlike what you would get using selfie sticks) to unique angles to
