Signature Entertainment are proud to present to you the Irish psychological thriller You Are Not My Mother from director Kate Dolan, which is being released in UK cinemas and on digital 8th April. Wildcard will release the film in Irish cinemas on 4th March.
When faced with the truth, male serial killers like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, and Ed Gein always blame something or someone for their actions. And for some reason, it always comes down to women. “It’s all so fucking boring!”
A young man (Dylan O’Brien, The Maze Runner) must unravel a disturbing mystery which develops from the fragmented, surreal memories of his past in intense psychological thriller Flashback.
Your worst nightmare personified, the Bubble Head Nurse from Silent Hill 2 joins the Living Dead Dolls family! Fairly aggressive in nature, this shrieking and gurgling monster is every night terror you’ve ever had…
A home invasion at Christmas is what I expected when I first heard about this film, but what I watched was different… The home invasion elements are there, and as it’s based during Christmas, it reminded me of Home Alone; the trip-wire outside being an obvious reference. But Better Watch Out is even more disturbing than I imagined; a story about a child obsessed with his babysitter who is planning to leave town after Christmas. Levi Miller as 12-year-old Luke is the star of the film and flips between a range of emotions at ease. This makes him Luke more unnerving than if he was pure evil.
Rational boredom. Perhaps its me, that watching decades of horror films has left me jaded and able to predict the action in banal and mindless twaddle like Irrational Fear. The movie reminded me of those direct-to-video slashers of the 80s, the plastic covers promising extreme violence, sex or both and more often than not, failing to deliver. I wanted to enjoy the film, honestly, but the poor production values, shoddy camera work, incompetent direction and uneven acting wore me down. It really is a shame because there is some talent evident.
Blue Finch Film Releasing presents Amy Seimetz’s She Dies Tomorrow on Curzon Home Cinema and Digital Download, 28th August. After waking up convinced that she is going to die tomorrow, Amy’s carefully mended life begins to unravel. Following a visit from her initially pragmatic friend Jane, it becomes clear that Amy’s delusions of certain death have become contagious to those around her. Amy and her friends’ lives begin to spiral out of control in a tantalising descent into madness. From Amy Seimetz, She Dies Tomorrow is a hallucinatory, neon-soaked nightmare about the end of the world.
Terror Films has acquired the worldwide digital rights to Hunter Johnson’s Irrational Fear. The story centers around six therapy patients who are brought together at a secluded cabin. Here, they confront their strangest fears; including germs, bugs, drowning, choking and losing teeth, to name just a few. But these fears won’t just hurt them…they may very well kill them! Executive producer Kevin Sommerfield co-wrote the script with Johnson, who also produced alongside Chris Gierowski and Jay Sorenson. The film is set to hit digital platforms Friday, 24th July.
Set in both stunning and imposing locations with tenacious female leads, Jack Clayton’s The Innocents (1961) and Herk Harvey’s Carnival of Souls (1962) offer an intimate and highly psychological examination of the female mind whilst ruminating heavily and hauntingly on the age-old themes of sex and death.
Producer Jason Blum was quoted as saying, “There are not a lot of female directors period, and even less who are inclined to do horror”. It wasn’t long before Blum had to backtrack on his statement when it was pointed out to him how many female directors there were in horror, all of which were eligible to create imaginative horror features. Recently added to that group is Rose Glass, who has set her first feature, Saint Maud, in the traditionally male-dominated horror genre and was named the winner of the IWC Schaffhausen Filmmaker Bursary Award.
A24’s Saint Maud is set to be the first horror movie back in theaters when it opens nationwide on 17th July. The unholy possession thriller is the first feature from writer/director Rose Glass.
