Zombie Thriller ‘Hall’ Gets An April Release Date

Hot off the heels of EFM (European Film Market), Black Fawn Distribution has acquired the Canadian rights to the viral zombie thriller Hall, the directorial debut of Francesco Giannini. Starring Carolina Bartczak (X-Men: Apocalypse, Roland Emmerich’s upcoming Moonfall), the film follows Val (Bartczak), a young mother separated from her daughter (Bailey Thain), who must navigate a hotel hallway ravaged by a mysterious virus. Forced to crawl her way past other helpless victims, Val crosses paths with Naomi (Yumiko Shaku) – a pregnant tourist thrust into the fight of her life. While keeping out of sight, Val and Naomi must escape the stretch of isolated carnage, before they become infected themselves. The film also features Mark Gibson (Vicious Fun, Exit Humanity) and Julian Richings (Anything for Jackson, Man of Steel). Hall is the first film completed under Francesco Giannini’s production banner, Franky Films. Giannini recently took home the Best Director honors for Hall at last year’s Blood in the Snow Film

This man was tall, thin, white-faced and wearing a dark suit with a red tie. As this man stood ominously over the children, a phenomenon was born. Slenderman was not developed from ancient myths, or fairy tales. He is not found in a book and merely brought to life via media or film. This man is a wonderful piece of modern folk-lore. Generations from now, Slenderman will be included in the cannon of horror along with gremlins, trolls, the boogieman and everything else that goes bump in the night. One of the scariest things about Slenderman — and it was absolutely intended by his creator — is
