The New ‘The Vigil’ Trailer Urges You To “Look Behind You”

This February dare to witness The Vigil, writer-director Keith Thomas‘ fantastic, thrilling new supernatural horror, which delves into ancient Jewish lore and demonology. Ahead of its release we’ve got the band trailer and a new poster. Starring Dave Davis, Menashe Lustig, and Lynn Cohen, the film is set over the course of a single evening in Brooklyn’s Hasidic Borough Park neighborhood. Low on funds and having recently left his insular religious community, Yakov (Dave Davis) reluctantly accepts an offer from his former rabbi and confidante (Menashe Lustig) to take on the responsibility of an overnight “shomer,” fulfilling the Jewish practice of watching over the body of a deceased community member. Shortly after arriving at the recently departed’s dilapidated house to sit the vigil, Yakov begins to realize that something is very, very wrong. When I sat down to write the very first draft of THE VIGIL, I knew I wanted to tell a personal story that felt universal. The movie

A Cult Leader Unleashes ‘Baphomet’ In This Movie’s New Trailer

Cleopatra Entertainment has acquired North American rights to Baphomet, a supernatural horror film from writer-director Matthan Harris (For We Are Many).

A First Look At The Supernatural Indie Horror ‘Hell Wanted’

Today, we’ve got your first look at Hell Wanted from director Braxton Fannin, a supernatural tale about a man paying for the sins of his youth. In the film, written by Austin Phares and Braxton Fannin, seventeen-year-old Wallace made a blood oath with a demonic text and murdered his competitor in order to land a spot on his high school hockey team. After destroying his victim’s body and the infernal book by fire, he went about his life… but forty years later, working as the high school’s janitor, Wallace is about to come face-to-face with his tortured youth. Students have begun mysteriously disappearing from their after-school jobs and, with history prepped to repeat itself, this seemingly-mild mannered custodian is going to have to battle the demons from his past if he wants a fighting chance at saving the present.” William Balzac, Maite Elias-Nava, Caitlin Dullahan-Bates, Connor Vasile, and Joseph Melendez star in the film produced by Austin Phares.

Witness The Bone-Chilling Trailer For ‘Sator,’ Inspired By True Events

Witness the bone-chilling trailer for director Jordan Graham’s supernatural horror Sator, inspired by his own life experiences. “Secluded home in desolate forest home to little more than the decaying remnants of the past, a broken family is further torn apart by a mysterious death. Adam, guided by a pervasive sense of dread, hunts for answers only to learn that they are not alone; an insidious presence by the name of Sator has been observing his family, subtly influencing all of them for years in an attempt to claim them.” The uniquely spectral horror-thriller blurs the line between fact and fiction as it’s core story, of a demon making contact with an intimate family, is inspired by director Jordan Graham’s own life. Sator is quite personal to me,” says Graham. “It delves into my family’s dark history with mental illness surrounding a supernatural entity, and uses home video footage to create an interwoven piece between documentary and fiction.” For years generations
