Composers Andy Grush and Taylor Stewart, aka The Newton Brothers, score Stx Entertainment’s supernatural horror thriller, The Bye Bye Man.

The film stars Douglas Smith, Lucien Laviscount, Cressida Bonas and Doug Jones.

Dark Arts, a division of Seven Arts Entertainment, is moving forward on two genre productions. The first is Schism from director Adam Gierasch, who penned the script with Jace Anderson. This duo previously gave us Autopsy , Night of the Demons and Fertile Ground . Dark Arts will also start production on Thicker , which is based on the short film and festival favorite of the same name. The feature will be directed by Terry Nemeroff and will star Leslie Zemeckis, Peter Facinelli, Guy Pearce and John Goodman.
