In the dead of winter, the time of their lives has just run out in Everwinter Night. The indie horror-comedy is described as Midsommar meets Chasing Amy by way of The Shining.
Watch an exclusive clip from the film’s 1994-set prologue below, along with Marc Schoenbach’s retro-inspired poster art.
The unique blend of slow-burn tension, quirky humor, and chilling horror is directed by Adam Newman from a script he co-wrote with Chris Goodwin. Victoria Mirrer, McKenna Parsons, Goodwin, Jamie Dufault, and indie horror darling Sarah Nicklin star.
“Lifelong best friends Maddy and V set out for a relaxing vacation. When their old college clique hijack their plans, V finds herself at a remote ski lodge where a group of mysterious wealthy men throw a celebration a century in the making.”
The unconventional production was the result of a different movie being cancelled at the last minute due to unforeseen complications.

The Black Mass, the title of actress Devanny Pinn’s directorial debut is not, as one might guess, a reference to a Satanic ritual. It’s the description one of the survivors gave of the man who, across one long night in 1978, attacked four of her sorority sisters, killing two of them as well as attacking a random woman he encountered nearby.
That man was Ted Bundy. That doesn’t mean that The Black Mass is a typical true-crime film or even a straightforward slasher film. Pinn and co-writers Eric Pereira and Brandon Slagle keep the killer in the background figuratively and literally for much of the film.
While he is in almost every scene, or the scenes are shot from his perspective, for the...

When we reviewed Trauma Therapy: Psychosis it was mentioned the fillm was a reworked version of The Vance Institute. A was originally shot with the intent of being released in black and white with a few colour scenes. Instead, it was released all in colour.
There was also new footage added featuring Tom Sizemore as the host of The Tom Sizemore Show interviewing Victor, one of the characters from the 2019 film Trauma Therapy. After Sizemore died this made a centrepiece of the film’s publicity as his last film despite there being several more of his films yet to be released.
This was shot and edited in without the participation of the original director, Lawrie Brewster who says he was assured he would have the final cut.

The latest edition of the Popcorn Frights Film Festival draws to a close, putting a cap on endless movie premieres, repertory screening, and horror celebrations.
Our first roundup of Popcorn Frights 2023 capsule reviews included horror musicals and experimental genre-benders. The fest didn’t slow down in the back half, either.
Here’s a round-up of some of Popcorn Frights’ second half feature offerings, from slashers to found footage cryptid horror.
Don’t Look Away
Poor Frankie (Kelly Bastard) happens to be at the wrong place at the worst possible time. Frankie’s drive home gets derailed when a criminal fleeing from a truck hijacking gone wrong runs out in front of her car. Seeing the culprit, a lone mannequin uncrated from the truck, sends her into shock. So much so that she begins seeing the mannequin everywhere. Frankie’s friends and unsupportive boyfriend Steve (Colm Hill) chalk it up to residual...

Welcome to Give Me the Fear, a new Frightfest 2023 preview series hosted by screenwriter Stuart Wright.
These brief, spoiler-free interviews will – across the entire series – help you to discover the kind of knowledge and experience about how to make indie horror films that they don’t teach at film school.
After looking back at the blood, sweat and tears that went into their creative successes, I ask them one last question: If you could hand pick one person to be in the audience for your Frightfest screening, who would it be and why? I think you going to love the answers this question elicits.
This episode features New Life and The Black Mass (Devanny Pinn).
