After six years, Terror Films is set to finally release the long-gestating 80’s horror throwback The Torment of Laurie Ann Cullom. In the film, a woman who suffers from agoraphobia soon realizes her fear of the outside world is nothing compared to what she finds in her home. Inspired by actual events, director Mark Dossett’s critically acclaimed indie horror film began its festival run in 2014 and has been praised by horror critics including Horror Fuel’s own Noah Manginelli who proclaimed back in 2016 that it is “one of the best slasher movies of the year,” in his review. When asked why he waited so long to distribute his feature film debut, director Mark Dossett had this to say: “I had four previous distribution offers before signing with Terror Films. I had everything from one distributor telling me they didn’t like the name of the film and they would figure it out once I signed. Another one quoted me on

Writer-director Rose Glass‘s supernatural thriller Saint Maud is headed towards its 2020 release. In the trailer, we are introduced to a young woman with extreme religious views who is determined to save her patient’s soul. Morfydd Clark and Jennifer Ehle lead the cast that also includes Lily Knight, Lily Frazer, and Turlough Convery. Maud, a reclusive young nurse, pursues a pious path of Christian devotion after an obscure trauma. Now charged with the hospice care of Amanda, a retired dancer ravaged by cancer, Maud’s fervent faith quickly inspires an obsessive conviction that she must save her ward’s soul from eternal damnation – whatever the cost. Andrea Cornwell and Oliver Kassman produce with Daniel Battsek, Mary Burke, and Sam Lavender executive producing. Saint Maud opens in theaters on March 27, 2020, from A24, the studio that brought us Hereditary and Midsommar.

Haley Bennett (The Magnificant Seven), Austin Stowell (Colossal), Elizabeth Marvel, David Rasche, and “American Horror Story” actor Denis O’Hare star in the official selection at 2019’s Tribeca Film Festival which took home the Best Actress in a U.S. Narrative Feature Film award. On the surface, Hunter (Haley Bennett) appears to have it all. A newly pregnant housewife, she seems content to spend her time tending to an immaculate home and doting on her Ken-doll husband, Richie (Austin Stowell). However, as the pressure to meet her controlling in-laws and husband’s rigid expectations mounts, cracks begin to appear in her carefully created facade. Hunter develops a dangerous habit, and a dark secret from her past seeps out in the form of a disorder called pica – a condition that has her compulsively swallowing inedible, and oftentimes life-threatening, objects. A provocative
