IFC Midnight Releases Trailer For The Devil’s Doorway

IFC Midnight has released the trailer for The Devil’s Doorway, arriving this July from director Aislinn Clarke. “What unholy terrors lurk behind the walls of a secretive Irish convent? Northern Ireland, 1960: Father Thomas Riley (Lalor Roddy) and Father John Thornton (Ciaran Flynn) are dispatched by the Vatican to investigate reports of a miracle—a statue of the Virgin Mary weeping blood—at a remote Catholic asylum for “immoral” women. Armed with 16mm film cameras to record their findings, the priests instead discover a depraved horror show of sadistic nuns, satanism, and demonic possession. Supernatural forces are at work here—but they are not the doing of God. Inspired by the infamous true histories of Magdalene Laundries—in which “fallen women” were held captive by the Irish Catholic Church—this found footage occult shocker is a chilling encounter with unspeakable evil.” Lalor Roddy, Ciaran Flynn, Helena Bereen, and Lauren Coe star in the film opening in select US theaters and arriving on VOD on July

New ‘Lowlife’ Trailer Has A Serious Tarantino Vibe

This April IFC Midnight will introduce to audiences to Lowlife, hot off its festival tour that included Fantasia, Frightfest, and Cinepocalypse. The new trailer is here and it has a serious Tarantino vibe. “What happens when you throw together a fallen Mexican wrestler with serious rage issues, a just-out-of-prison ex-con with a regrettable face tattoo, and a recovering junkie motel owner in search of a kidney?” “Set amidst the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, Lowlife zigzags back and forth in time as it charts how fate—and a ruthless crime boss—connects three down-and-out reprobates mixed up in an organ harvesting scheme that goes from bad to worse to off-the-rails insane. Careening from savagely funny to just plain savage to unexpectedly heartfelt, this audacious thriller serves up nonstop adrenaline alongside hard-hitting commentary about the state of contemporary America.” In our interview, actress Nicki Micheaux described her character Crystal as, “a woman who has made a lot of bad choices in her life.
