The first official image has been unveiled of acclaimed Filipino filmmaker Lav Diaz in “The Sacrifice,” a psychological horror film currently in production in the Philippines.
The award-winning director has intermittently stepped in front of the camera before. The newly released still offers a glimpse of Diaz as Pilo, a quiet and enigmatic jungle guide who leads a group of vloggers deep into remote terrain steeped in ritual and folklore.
Known for directing international festival favorites like “Norte, the End of History” and “The Woman Who Left” — which won the Golden Lion at Venice in 2016 — Diaz now opens up about his character in the upcoming thriller.
“I love the character. He’s a conflicted person — he paints a picture of the type of person we see every day. The greatest struggle in life is how to be a good human being, and I think Pilo embodies that conflict,” Diaz says.

Mara is a teacher. She’s also deep in debt which is why she’s selling the lakefront property she just inherited. Rather than using an agent, she’s taking a group of potential buyers to look at the property, which she’s never been to, herself. The first sign of trouble comes when they find a bridge closed and have to proceed on foot.
Eventually, Mara, cute couple Pete and Dex, Ani, Donovan, and Nikki arrive at the property. As they approach it, Mara notices a figure in the window. That, plus the fact it was left to her by the father she never knew should be reason enough to wait outside. But that wouldn’t make for much of a movie, would it?...

Buying your first home can be daunting to say the least. In addition to worrying about how much your new home is going to cost, you also wonder what your new neighbors will be like and if your kids will be able to make friends in the neighborhood. You might also want to make sure your new house doesn’t have a bizarre, murderous history, just to be safe.
These are some of the things Adam, played by Ryan Hansen, and Margo, played by Melissa Tang (The Kominsky Method), are faced with when they move into their first home in the horror comedy Who Invited Them. Written and directed by Duncan Birmingham in his feature film debut, Who Invited Them agilely alternates between being unnerving and hilarious, thanks to witty writing and a remarkably entertaining cast.

With September just days away, this week is a bit of a “quiet before the storm” sort of week, as a ton of new horror releases are coming hot and heavy in the next two months.
This week, however, is relatively quiet, but that doesn’t mean we’re not getting any new horror this week. In fact, we’re getting Five brand new horror movies in the coming days.
That includes a brand new original from the Bd-powered Screambox, not to mention the theatrical re-release of a horror classic…. in Three Dimensions for the first time.
Here’s all the new horror arriving August 30 – September 4, 2022!
First up, Bloody Disgusting is excited to debut the brand new Screambox Original PussyCake, a gore-fest from Argentina that’s now streaming exclusively on Screambox!
PussyCake is also available for 4.99 rental on VOD outlets today.
