Cult Horror 'Hell Is Empty' Conjures A New Trailer Ahead Of It March Release

Cult Horror ‘Hell Is Empty’ Conjures A New Trailer Ahead Of It March Release

From director Jo Shaffer comes the paranoia-fueled cult horror film Hell is Empty, starring Spencer Peppet, Nia Farrell, Travis Mitchell, Laura Resinger, Meredith Antonian, Liam Ouweleen, and AYA. In Hell Is Empty, a self-styled messiah initiates a lost soul into his cult of sister-wives on an Edenic island, upsetting the delicate balance of a utopian community fixated on sin and salvation. Combining edge-of-your-seat suspense with arthouse flair, the horror-thriller follows two teenage runaways who become increasingly suspicious of the cult leader’s absolutist vision. When Lydia arrives on the island, Saratoga is eight months pregnant with his child—the supposed “son of God.” As the makeshift family descends into paranoia and violence, Lydia and Saratoga plot a daring escape that transforms them from outcasts to avengers. Written by Shaffer and Adam DeSantes, Hell is Empty will be available on Digital and On-Demand March 1, 2022, from 1091 Pictures.

Movie Review: “Something in the Dirt,” “You Won’t Be Alone,” and “Emily the Criminal” (Sundance Film Festival)

Movie Review: “Something in the Dirt,” “You Won’t Be Alone,” and “Emily the Criminal” (Sundance Film Festival)

Something in the Dirt The filmmaking duo of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead consistently turn out compelling, thought-provoking genre films, and their fifth and latest feature, Something in the Dirt, may be their best yet. The duo proved in 2017’s The Endless that they are as solid in front of the camera as behind it, and they bring that multihyphenate magic on both sides once again here in a spellbinding tale of two men who witness what seems to be a supernatural miracle in one of their apartments. The event sends hard-luck case Levi (Benson) and religious neighbor John (Moorhead) down a rabbit hole where one conspiracy theory leads to another and so on. These two men, living on the fringes of society, see this as their big opportunity to get rich quick by way of putting together a documentary about the strange phenomena that they witness. This being a horror movie, things of course don’t turn out the way

Blu-ray Review: Shock (1977)

Dora Baldini (Daria Nicolodi), her kiddo Marco (Beyond the Door‘s David Colin Jr.), and her new husband Bruno (we don’t talk about Bruno no no… okay, we do, and he’s played by Yor: the Hunter From the Future‘s Overlord himself, John Steiner) make the dumbass decision to move into the old house where Dora lived with her first husband Carlo, a Joe Dirt lookin’ heroin addicted son of a bitch who supposedly died at sea (the dead part is true, the sea is hazy… ). Minus the obvious psychological damage moving back into that space would cause anyone, ol’ Marco (who I’m kinda surprised they didn’t go with a Peter Bark style of situation with… if ya know, then ya know… but if not, watch Andrea Bianchi’s 1981 zombie sleaze-fest Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror… you’ll thank me for it later) seems to getting rather horny for Mommy Dearest… and as the days pass, Dora seems to be coming

IFC Midnight's Unsettling Horror 'Hatching' Out Today On Digital And VOD

Movie Reviews: “Hatching” and “Resurrection” (Sundance Film Festival)

Sundance Film Festival is absolutely killing it with its horror selections! Following are capsule reviews of two absolutely bonkers, can’t-miss features. Hatching Finnish/Swedish coproduction Hatching (Ruva, 2022) finds pre-teen gymnast Tinja (Siiri Solalinna in a captivating debut performance) trying to live up to the expectations of her domineering mother (Sophia Heikkilӓ), who vlogs about the wonderful life of their seemingly perfect family. Naturally, the online presence is merely an illusion, as evidenced earlier on when Tinja captures a bird that flew into their house, only to see her mother break its neck. Soon after, Tinja finds a bird’s egg near her home, and promises to take care of what will hatch from it. Big mistake, what with this being a horror film. It would be a shame to go into too many details here about Hanna Bergholm’s astonishing directorial debut Hatching, so suffice it to say that there are some amazing creature and body horror effects on display of both
