IFC Midnight has acquired the North American rights to the cult thriller The Other Lamb, from director Małgorzata Szumowska (Body, Mug, Elles), which features a nearly all-female cast.

Movie Review: Satanic Panic (2019) – Dan XIII’s take!

Something evil is afoot in the town our heroine Sam (Hayley Griffith… who our own ever-awesome Kelli interviewed right here) delivers pizza in. Sure, there’s the expected weirdo shit-birds one would expect a person to encounter deliverin’ picture perfect pies at all hours, but there’s also somethin’ a bit different; namely a high class group of Satanists led by the comely witch bitch Danica (Rebecca Romijn) that is just aching to include our gal in all manner of sacrificial deviltry after a late night delivery. Soon Sam is up to her pepperoni and extra cheese in diabolical demons and monstrous magic, and it’ll take every ounce of her wits to keep her life and soul intact during this hellish night of horrors… and hilarity… You see cats n’ creeps, ol’ Satanic Panic, for all that the sinister synopsis up yonder would lead you to believe otherwise, is a rather hilarious comedy, with some well done horror overtones… especially some well

Movie Review: ‘Satanic Panic’ Is A Fun Flick Worthy Of Praise

What happens when you mix a Satanic cult and broke virgin? You get director Chelsea Stardust‘s Satanic Panic starring Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O’Connell, and Jordan Ladd. Hayley Griffith (interview) plays the lead role of Sam,a young woman working her first night as a pizza delivery girl. With what felt like a nod to Clerks, the film opens with Sam talking with other delivery people before heading off on her delivery route, praying she gets a tip before her scooter runs out of gas. Of course, she runs into a series of cheapskates and weirdoes. When an order needs to be delivered to the rich section of town, she jumps at the chance, not knowing she’s about to run into serious trouble. Between raunchy advances, magical spells, and the threat of becoming a sacrifice, Sam’s day just went from bad to worse. Now, all she has to do is survive the night, a demon, and the cult lead by Danica (Romijn)

There’s Something Supernatural At Work In The New Trailer For ‘The Endless’

This past April we shared the first clip from Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s (Spring) sci-fi/horror film The Endless which teased a monster lurking below the water. Now, ahead of Fantastic Fest, the official teaser trailer has been unveiled. In the film, Moorhead and Benson star as brothers who return to a cult that they fleed a decade ago, only to discover that there may be some truth to the group’s otherworldly beliefs. The Filmmakers recently stated: The Endless is a film made hand-over-fist with an incredible crew, and ourselves wearing many hats, out of a conviction that audiences truly want left-of-center, meaningful independent films. Well Grow throwing their theatrical support behind us shows a shared belief that the box office is more than just superheroes. Audiences will be able to see The Endless at its best: Sound cranked up in a dark theater, sharing the experience with movie lovers like ourselves.” Tate Ellington, Shane Brady, James Jordan, and Kira
