A24 Snags The Martin Scorsese Exec Produced Movie ‘The Eternal Daughter’ Starring Tilda Swinton

A24 has snagged the world rights for the under-the-radar ghost story The Eternal Daughter, starring Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton, We Need to Talk About Kevin, Suspiria, Constantine). The paranormal mystery-thriller, which is currently in post-production, centers on the story of a middle-aged daughter and her elderly mother who must confront long-buried secrets when they return to their former family home, a once-grand manor that has become a nearly vacant hotel brimming with mystery. Deadline reports. Joseph Mydell (Tonight You’re Mine), Carly Davies (The enemy), and Alfie Sankey-Green (Downtown Abbey) also star. Shot in secret in Wales during the lockdown, the project re-teams Swinton with director Joanna Hogg after they recently collaborated on the movie The Souvenir and the upcoming sequel The Souvenir Part 2, which will premiere later this year. The film is produced by Normal People and Room producers Element Pictures and JWH Films, with backing from BBC Film. Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese will serve as executive producer.

Blu-ray Review: Synchronic (2019)

Paramedic Steve (Anthony Mackie… ol’ fearless Falcon from the MCU) and his partner Dennis (Jamie Dornan) tear ass around a nocturnal New Orleans saving lives n’ shit… but soon that gig turns a bit ‘weird as all fuck’ when they begin responding to calls with ever-increasing outre elements… all of which seem to lead to the new designer drug, Synchronic. Soon Dennis finds himself in dire straits, and Steve attempts to lend a helpin’ fucking hand… which results in him taking Synchronic himself… a fact that leads to all manner of fresh hell since a tumor on his pineal gland makes him ultra-receptive to the drug’s unique effects… but also puts a deadline on his efforts to aid his partner’s plight… emphasis on the word dead, what with that tumor biz and all… Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (who also served as the film’s cinematographer) take what could be a mean streets procedural and turn it into a psychotronic mind

George James Fraser’s ‘Scaring Sheri’, Part Of ‘United States Of Horror’ Series, Is Awesome AF

George James Fraser, the director behind Happenstance and Gore Theater is back with his short film Scaring Sheri, the first installment of the upcoming horror collection United States of Horror, featuring a massive fifty films from all over the US. Shot at the world-famous Haunted Overload in Lee, New Hampshire, Scaring Sheri stars Sheri Lee (Doll House) and Johnny J. Gordon who is making his film debut. Scaring Sheri plays out against an absolutely amazing backdrop featuring hundreds of lit pumpkins and monsters making it spooky AF and adding to the tension because you’re on guard not knowing when or where a scare is going to come from. The cinematography for the eight-minute, fifteen-second long film is fantastic. With a rich look, a nice pace, and good effects, watching Scaring Sheri was a pleasure. And the fact that we get a feisty lead character that actually has some fight in her is a major bonus. The soundtrack is pure metal
