Just before Halloween back in 2022, it was announced that Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner – who both have experience working in the Scream franchise, as Fitzgerald was in the Scream TV series and Gallner appeared in the 2022 Scream movie – were set to star in the “cat and mouse thriller” Strange Darling. The movie was given a theatrical release back in August, and JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols loved it; you can read his 9/10 review at This Link. It has since moved on to digital and physical media releases… but distributor Magenta Light Productions feels that it should have performed better at the box office, and believe it would have if the film had a better marketing campaign. So they have filed a lawsuit against their marketing partner, Spellbinder.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Magenta Light Productions, in a fraud and breach of contract lawsuit filed this week in Los Angeles Superior Court,...

Hallowed: Chapter 1 — A Fantasy Horror Comic: "Civil war has ravaged the country of Metazoa as two opposing faiths crusade for the holy city of Bilateria. Broken, beaten, and starving, a band of deserters make a desperate trek across their war-torn homeland in an attempt to escape their sins and the religious zealots pursuing them. Leading them is "Knight Tearer" Flagg, a killing machine as disillusioned as he is deadly. His goal? A ship—then Terroir, a land across the sea supposedly free of war and prejudice. He just needs to get his men there, no easy task considering the miles of frozen wasteland ahead of him and the Apostles behind, a ruthless group of soldiers tasked with snuffing out heresy and executing deserters.

The open road is a terrifying place for a young woman in the first look at “Strange Darling,” a horror-thriller from director J.T. Mollner set to premiere at this week’s Fantastic Fest.

Described as “one day in the twisted love life of a serial killer,” the project stars Willa Fitzgerald (Amazon’s “Reacher”) and Kyle Gallner. Fitzgerald, known only in the film as “The Lady,” barrels down a highway in a red Ford Pinto in a clip exclusive to Variety, escaping Gallner’s mad pursuit. After shooting out her back windshield and trying to mow her down with a pickup truck, the cat-and-mouse game moves on foot through the wilderness.

“This film was a sort of dream (or nightmare) that I was compelled to bring to life. So much about it – the colors, the music, the overall visual aesthetic, and the characters were all so clear before we even shot anything.

Exclusive: Luke Wilson, Chad Michael Murray, Francesca Eastwood, and Teri Polo star in the recent Sundance world premiere that Andre Relis is bringing to the Efm.

J T Mollner wrote and directed the Midnight selection that debut in Park City last month and follows a gang of outlaws that raid a frontier family home to hide out for the night.

What the invaders do not know is they have picked on the wrong household as a game of cat-and-mouse, role reversal and bloody revenge ensues.

Luke Daniels produces with Rosanne Korenberg, Chris Ivan Cevic, and Alex Cutler.

Vmi Worldwide president Relis served as executive producer and has scheduled a February 13 market screening in Berlin at CinemaxX Studio 17.

Momentum Pictures will release the film theatrically later this year after securing rights in North America, Germany, and Latin America at the Afm in November.

Momentum Pictures acquired all distribution rights to "Outlaws & Angels," starring Luke Wilson, Chad Michael Murray, Teri Polo and Francesca Eastwood. The twisted and bloody revenge tale is written and directed by J.T. Mollner and produced by Rosanne Korenberg, Chris Ivan Cevic and Luke Daniels. Set in the Old West, the film tells the story of Henry, a seasoned outlaw leading his gang of killers and bandits into a high stakes bank heist. Unfortunately, things get bloody, and they are forced to kill a U.S. Marshall in the process. With one of the largest bounties in the history of the American West on their heads, they make their way south through dangerous terrain and surprises.  "'Outlaws & Angels' captures all of the intense action and drama of a classic western, while simultaneously delivering an enigmatic, captivating story where everything and everyone may not be what they seem," said President of Momentum Pictures Berry.

12.00 Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Vampire culture has gotten the film treatment more than any niche of the occult world. The world seems to be ga-ga for vampirism; the inherent sexuality, the blood, the power - the elements come together each and every time to form the same movie, the only real difference is how the features are implemented. Bled definitely has a new angle on the vampire concept treating it as a mere means to be exploited for immortality instead of focusing on the immortality of vampirism itself. The blood of innocents sustaining the life of an immortal: old and mentioned in Bled. Where Bled hits a new vein is in how the vampirism exists and the elementary analysis of addiction that gets thrown in along with it.

Title: Bled Directed by: Christopher Hutson Starring: Sarah Farooqui, Chris Ivan Cevic, Alex Petrovitch, Michele Morrow and Ivan L. Moody. Scores: Technical: 70, Story: 45, Acting: 40, Overall: 55 Ever since I heard that one of my favorite singers Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch, Motograter) , was going to be in a horror flick, I have been anxiously awaiting (with white knuckles) for the finished product. This was one of those movies that you want to like even before you see it, and trust me; I tried very hard to like it. It just didn’t have any guts. No plot, no thrills, no horror, nothing! It was such a disappointment; I cringe just [...]...

Bled is a vampire movie without teeth. There’s literally and figuratively no bite to it. And not much bloodshed, either. Or sex. On the DVD’s audio commentary by producer Jeffrey Allard, director Christopher Hutson and composer Chris Kazmier, the filmmakers discuss their intention to “retool” the vampire film. If by this they mean defang and dilute the subgenre, well, then they were successful.

Horror fans will have a frustrating time sitting through a movie that plays like Twilight lite for “bit lit” readers. And sorry, ladies (and any “bit lit” gents out there), but Bled’s bloodsucker, Renfield (Jonathan Oldham), is no Robert Pattinson. I can’t believe I just said that…

The movie begins with some very pretentious, very bad narration grandiloquently spoken by Renfield over a dream sequence of Sai (Sarah Farooqui) being chased through a forest by a creature (called the “Incubus”) that looks like...
