The New Trailer For ‘Spell’ Is A Voodoo Fueled Nightmare

Omari Hardwick (“Power,” Sorry to Bother You), Loretta Devine (“Black-ish,” Crash), and John Beasley (The Sum of All Fears, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks) star in the terrifying horror-thriller Spell, out this Halloween. In the film, “while flying to his father’s funeral in rural Appalachia, an intense storm causes Marquis (Omari Hardwick) to lose control of the plane carrying him and his family.

Unable to call for help, Marquis desperately tries to outwit and break free from her dark magic and save his family from a sinister ritual before the rise of the blood moon.” Directed by Mark Tonderai and written by Kurt Wimmer, Spell arrives on Video-On-Demand and Digital in time for Halloween on October 30th, from Paramount Home Entertainment.

Regina Hall Heading To College For Supernatural Thriller ‘Master’

Production has begun on writer Mariama Diallo‘s feature directorial debut, the “haunting thriller” Master. Starring Regina Hall (Girls Trip, Shaft), Zoe Renee (“Black Lightning,” Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase), and Amber Gray (“Escape at Dannemora”), the film is from Amazon Studios, Deadline reports. The film centers on “three black women who strive to find their place at the celebrated Ancaster College, an elite university in New England. The school was built on the site of a Salem-era gallows hill and the ghostly legacies of Puritan-era persecution haunt the campus in an increasingly supernatural fashion. The plot examines how each of these women will — or won’t — survive in this space of privilege.” From the moment we read Master and met Mariama we knew we needed to be part of bringing this spine-chilling story to life – and we couldn’t be more excited about our incredible cast and executive producer Regina Hall, as well as, Zoe Renee and Amber
