What Josiah Saw

What Josiah Saw has found a home on AMC’s all-horror/thriller streaming site, Shudder, following its world premiere at Fantasia Fest. The streamer will hold exclusive rights to the Southern Gothic thriller in the United States, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

The film’s synopsis reads as follows:

Everyone in town knows about the haunted Graham Farm on Willow Road. You’ll hear there’s a bad history to it. Josiah (Robert Patrick) and his youngest son, Thomas (Scott Haze), are all that remain of this estranged family. But after experiencing terrifying visions from beyond, Josiah decides they must change their ways to right a great wrong.  After being away for over two decades, Eli (Nick Stahl) and Mary (Kelli Garner), Josiah’s eldest children, are enticed to sell the property and reunite at the old farmhouse in hopes of closing this haunting chapter of their lives for good. Sins of the past will be paid in full.

What Josiah Saw is the latest film from director Vincent Grashaw (Coldwater).

“Vincent, Robert and team have crafted a dark, haunting and poignant film that brilliantly blends some of the best elements of horror,” Craig Engler, general manager of Shudder, said in a statement. “It’s a story that stays with you and is expertly brought to life through striking, breakout performances from this stellar cast. We’re thrilled to have it live on Shudder and to share it with members.”

“Shudder is the perfect home for this creepy film that I’ve lived with for quite some time,” Grashaw added. “I was somewhat terrified to tackle my first horror/thriller, so I couldn’t be more grateful that the release will be in the hands and guided by those who do it best in the genre sphere.  I can’t wait to see what happens with them!  Let’s go!”

Shudder has not set a release date yet for the film, but iHorror will keep you posted on that news when it becomes available.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
