Watch First 9-Minutes Of Live-Action Horror/Fantasy ‘Dampyr’

Published

on

Dampyr is a live-action movie based on the Italian comic book series of the same name. It is coming to digital for the first time on August 8 since its release in October of 2022.

You can watch the first nine minutes of this horror fantasy and get as intrigued as we are.

It is set during the Balkan war circa the early 1990s. A young nomad named Harlan Draka cons people out of money pretending to be Dampyr; someone who is half-human and half vampire. The villagers he comes across wrongfully believe their town is overrun by monsters so Draka takes advantage of that conning them out of money, saying he can dispose of them.

But when Draka is asked to help a group of soldiers battle legitimate monsters, he finds out that he is in fact a real Dampyr and must go up against the Master of the Night and his minions. This forces him to discover the truth behind his identity and the real strength of his innate powers.

The movie is directed by Riccardo Chemello and stars Wade Briggs, Stuart Martin, Frida Gustavsson, Sebastian Croft, David Morrissey, and Luke Roberts.

Netflix Doc ‘Devil on Trial’ Explores The Paranormal Claims of ‘Conjuring 3’

Published

on

What is it about Lorraine Warren and her constant row with the devil? We may find out in the new Netflix documentary called The Devil on Trial which will premiere on October 17, or at least we will see why she chose to take on this case.

Back in 2021, everyone was holed up in their homes, and anyone with an HBO Max subscription could stream “Conjuring 3” day and date. It got mixed reviews, maybe because this wasn’t an ordinary haunted house tale that the Conjuring universe is known for. It was more of a crime procedural than a paranormal investigative one.

As with all of the Warren-based Conjuring movies, The Devil Made Me Do It was based on “a true story,” and Netflix is taking that claim to task with The Devil on Trial. The Netflix e-zine Tudum explains the backstory:

“Often referred to as the ‘Devil Made Me Do It’ case, the trial of 19-year-old Arne Cheyenne Johnson quickly became the subject of lore and fascination after it made national news in 1981. Johnson claimed that he murdered his 40-year-old landlord, Alan Bono, while under the influence of demonic forces. The brutal killing in Connecticut drew the attention of self-professed demonologists and paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, known for their probe into the infamous haunting in Amityville, Long Island, several years prior. The Devil on Trial recounts the troubling events leading up to Bono’s murder, the trial, and the aftermath, using firsthand accounts of the people closest to the case, including Johnson.”

Then there’s the logline: The Devil on Trial explores the first — and only — time “demonic possession” has officially been used as a defense in a US murder trial. Including firsthand accounts of alleged devil possession and shocking murder, this extraordinary story forces reflection on our fear of the unknown.

If anything, this companion to the original film might shed some light on just how accurate these “true story” Conjuring films are and how much is just a writer’s imagination.
