"This is in your mind! It is not real! You are real!" An early festival teaser has debuted for an indie horror film premiering this month at the 2024 Austin Film Festival, playing in their Dark Matters Features section. The film is called The Fetch, marking the feature directorial debut of indie genre filmmaker J.C. Doler, telling an eerie tale of grief & demons. Following the death of his only son, a grieving father is haunted by a terrifying demon known in Irish folklore as the Fetch. A fetch is a supernatural double or an apparition of a living person. The sighting of a fetch is regarded as an omen, usually for impending death... The indie film stars Robert Longstreet, Aleksa Palladino, Logan Donovan, Shannon Cochran, & Tripp Toupal. Well damn this looks actually quite scary and especially creepy with all the weird gross hands popping out of everywhere. Plus evil doppelgangers appearing randomly.

In Irish folklore and literature dating back to the 1500s, writers from the island nation have written about mythical beings known as “Fetches” that haunt people whose days are numbered. According to legend, Fetches take on the physical form of the humans they visit — and if your own creepy doppelganger visits you in the evening, it means your death is imminent. But if they visit you in the morning, you can prepare yourself for a long life ahead of you.

That mythology is set to come to life in “The Fetch,” a new horror movie debuting at the Austin Film Festival that promises to fuse Irish folklore with modern day scares. According to an official synopsis, the film follows a grieving father who finds himself haunted by the Fetch as he mourns the death of his only son.

“The Fetch” marks the feature directorial debut of J.C. Doler, who has previously released six short films.
