The Man In The Rabbit Mask [Short Film]
The Man In The Rabbit Mask
A New Horror Legend is Born!
Sit back and close your eyes. Think of all of the scary stories you heard as a child at a sleepover or better yet over a wildering camp fire. Was there ever a story you heard that terrified you so much? I can think of a few, and the short The Man In The Rabbit Mask reminded me of a time when this was true. This well-woven story gives off that campy vibe, two girls questioning their judgment as they begin to make a choice. Interrupted by an adult, the fear remains alive as this masked uninvited visitor remains present continuing his terrifying agenda. The Man In The Rabbit Mask deserves a fighting chance to become a full-length feature, check out the website by clicking here and cast your vote.
From The Press Release:
Synopsis:
In the Winter of 1995, Lucky and Cara’s lives were forever changed when a nursery rhyme spoken over candle light invited an unexpected visitor, offering a gift…for a price. As the allure of the ultimatum makes both girls question their better judgment, the illusion of safety begins to fade in the presence of the masked stranger.
Vancouver, BC, February 6, 2017 – Winner of Telus Storyhive’s $10,000 grant, this 5 minute short is reminiscent of horror classics like: Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday The 13th, Halloween and The Exorcist. Directed by Canadian filmmaker Ariel Hansen and written by Canadian Screenwriter Joel H. Brewster (Becky, He Sees You, Midnight Lovers) the film stars a diverse cast with breakout performances by: Iris Truong (Lucy), Holly Burr (Cara), Katherine Slingsby (Brenda) and Chris Walters at the cryptic Mr. Rabbity.
This project also serves as a proof of concept for the feature film script of the same name also written by Joel H. Brewster. Following the same footsteps as other modern short films turned features such as: Oculus, Saw, Mama and the most recently Lights Out. With anticipated release among the local Vancouver horror scene, Akuma Films and Bad Cookie Pictures are looking to make the next iconic horror monster from Canada, an international success.
Filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia this project marks the first collaboration with indie film companies Bad Cookie Pictures (Ready to Burst) and Akuma Films (Becky, Midnight Lovers, He Sees You) in association with Fixate Films.

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
