A year and a half ago, 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. Now we know when we’re going to have a chance to see this movie, as Variety has confirmed that veteran producer Bob Yari’s new company Magenta Light Studios has secured the U.S. distribution rights to the film and they’re planning to give it a wide theatrical release on August 23rd.
Plot details on this thriller are being kept under wraps, and Variety notes that reviews from audience members who saw the movie at Fantastic Fest last year ” hint that the film works best with as little information as possible going in.” Apparently it has something...

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.

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.

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

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...
