Almost 2 decades down the line after his lesser-known debut feature film “Hotel Splendid” which starred Daniel Craig and Toni Collette as people trying to salvage a health resort, director Terence Gross revisits the narrative with his new film “A Fistful of Karma.” While there are no bickering, competing leads to be found in the mix in the new movie, both of them hinge on the absurdness of the premise and the eccentricity of its characters.

Believe it or not, “A Fistful of Karma. ” is based on a true story and is set in a retreat center in rural Tuscany named “Il Santuario.” Run by a group of odd, zonked-out party animals who are never, ever aware that their self-destructive nature might lead them on the road to economic crisis, the film essentially feels like a stoner comedy but without a single blunt being blazed in plain sight. I’m sure...

There’s been a lot of good found-footage films coming out recently, such as Tahoe Joe 2 and Woods Witch. Now there’s The Glenarma Tapes, an Irish film that begins by telling us that seven people went missing in the woods around Glenarma one night in 2020. One was later found near death and in a coma. Two years later, the police found the footage we’re about to see…

The footage starts innocently enough, as we watch Gordy (Warren McCook; Hope Street) go through his day as a student at Mid Ulster College of Art. His friend Jimmy is making a day-in-the-life type film for his class project. He’s certainly an interesting subject, going from making insightful comments about Romeo and Juliet to...

A group of teens wander into the woods, never to be found again in Irish found footage freakout The Glenarma Tapes. A new trailer teases some of the horrors ahead for the ill-fated bunch.

Dark Sky Films releases The Glenarma Tapes on VOD and Digital on April 2, 2024.

Watch the new trailer below.

The film’s official synopsis: “In Spring 2020 five students and two faculty members from the Mid Ulster College of Art went missing in a forest on the north coast of Ireland. What happened on the day they disappeared has remained a mystery – until now. Over two years after the disappearance, a police operation on a house outside Belfast uncovered footage of the students’ final movements, as their journey into the forest saw them bear witness to something they should never have seen. The Glenarma Tapes present that footage to the public for the first time.”

"You don't know what you're dealing with." Dark Sky Films has debuted the official US trailer for an indie horror film titled The Glenarma Tapes, a found footage horror mystery.

In Spring 2020 when five students and two faculty from the Mid Ulster College of Art go missing in a forest on the north coast of Ireland. What happened on the day when they disappeared has remained a mystery - until now. The main cast includes Warren McCook, Sophie Hill, Ryan Early, and Emily Lamey. This first premiered at FrightFest London in the UK last year, and will be out on VOD in the US this spring. Some kind of crazy violent cult hiding out in this dark forest, it looks like?...

Violet is a female-led, Lynchian horror romance about a young gay woman who labels sexuality as monstrous in the face of social and religious pressures, linking it specifically to vampirism. For the Irish filmmakers (and fine artists) Chris and Madi, who are currently crowdfunding to complete the short, the film's universal message is one of self-acceptance, but they also hope that Violet's story will raise awareness of Lgbt+ issues with a wide audience and create a debate around gay marriage, and why it should be allowed in Northern Ireland. Violet is executive produced by Stuart Drennan, writer of The Dig, which won "best picture" at the Galway Film Festival 2018. Siobhan Kelly plays 'Violet' and Emily Lamey plays 'Tanya and both have a wealth of...
