Screenwriter and director Justin P. Lange, previously known for the creepy thrillers, The Dark and The Seventh Day, just upped the eerie ante with his 2022 release, The Visitor. Written by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes, this moody motion picture takes viewers on a dark journey to small-town rural America in the deep south as seen through the eyes of a visitor from London.

Robert Burrows is newly married to a local girl from a long line of ancestral residents of Brier Glen, a sleepy southern town with secrets that run as deep as the oil in the fryer that turns out the chitlins Robert tries in the local pub.

Filmed in and around New Orleans, The Visitor keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with a sinister storyline that’s as scalp-chillingly evil as Rosemary’s Baby.

In exorcist movies, there is never much new under the black hole sun. The one development in the genre over the last decade has been to see it merge, on occasion, with the haunted-house film — a comfortable enough mashup, though it’s kind of like pairing two pop stars to create a hit single out of their combined demos. If the head-spinning success of “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” (2005), and the resurgence of the exorcist film that it inspired, proved anything, it’s that the tropes of demonic possession — the young victims tied to their beds, their faces gray-blue and mottled with sores; the tauntingly blasphemous devil voice that sounds like Darth Vader as the announcer at a strip club; the priests brandishing their tiny crosses and spewing their “Cast thee out!” liturgical spells — have become the horror equivalent of classic rock. They’re the golden oldies that never change,...

In Christina's recent review of The Dark, she said that "The success of The Dark, for me, lies entirely in the characters... amidst all those successful elements, The Dark is about the two characters at its heart, Mina and Alex beautifully broken together." Today we have a Q&A with Toby Nichols, who plays Alex in the The Dark, hitting theaters and VOD today, courtesy of Dark Sky Films:

How did you get involved with The Dark? What did you think about the story and your character when you first read the script?

Toby Nichols: I got the audition to play Alex from my agent and I was fairly excited to play such a complex character. The day of the callback I was really sick and my mom had me under a sheet getting steamed all morning so that I would be able to talk when Justin and Nadia called me on Skype.

In our strange and mysterious exclusive clip from The Dark, two young people are walking in the woods when something causes them to stop, suddenly, and look around. Are they about to be eaten by a monster? Our own J. Hurtado began his positive review of the film thusly: "There is a monster inside of all of us. A monster made out of pain, frustration, and fear. A monster fed by neglect, trauma, and anger that rears its ugly head when we get tired of fighting." Mr. Hurtado saw The Dark at Fantasia this past summer, and while I haven't seen it (yet), this clip adds to my high degree of intrigue. Justin P. Lange directed from his own original script.

San Sebastian — Smart genre, zombies and throwbacks to the ’70s and ‘80s are some of the current trends in genre cinema, according to some specialists in the field. It’s a cyclical dynamic now offering meaningful box office hits such as Corin Hardy’s “The Nun” or Ari Aster’s “Hereditary.” Genre cinema always attracts the attention of industry players. These are some of them.

An auteur-driven trend commands greatest consensus among experts. Matteo Lovadina, CEO of Paris-based sales and co-production company Reel Suspects, observed that some great examples recently of genre film have, “thanks to their clever storytelling,” been able to attract both auteur and genre audiences.

“Films like Joachim Trier’s ‘Thelma,’ Jordan Peele’s ‘Get Out’, David Robert Mitchell’s ‘It Follows’ or ‘Hereditary,’ have brought genre cinema again into focus and restored a certain credit to this hidden part of the cinematic world,” Lovadina observed.

A “pure genre player,...

Here’s an interesting trailer for a solid-looking horror film called The Dark. The story centers around a monstrous young woman named Mina who stalks the forest where she was murdered… and eats people.

Anytime some unfortunate soul enters her area, they are quickly dispatched and become her feast. But when she stumbles across a young boy named Alex in the back of a car who shows signs of clear and horrifying abuse, she can’t bring herself to do away with him. Rather, she becomes his protector while trying to protect her own little world. As police and locals search for Alex to help bring him home, their own growing relationship seems to be changing Mina in ways she never thought possible.

This is a great horror movie concept and I enjoyed what this trailer had to offer. Judging by the positive reviews the film has received, this seems...

"These woods are cursed, you know?" Signature Entertainment has unveiled the official trailer for a horror film titled The Dark, from Austria, an English-language feature that just play at FrightFest in the UK. The film has quite a unique premise: an undead teenage girl befriends a blind boy that she meets in a forest she haunts and hunts in. Both have been victims of unimaginable abuse, and each finds solace in the other. The horror is described as "transfixing, unnerving masterpiece" and a "haunting and deeply intense atmospheric film about love, monsters and revenge that is being compared to the spine-chilling Let The Right One In." This stars Nadia Alexander as Mina, Toby Nichols, Karl Markovics, Margarete Tiesel, and Dylan Trowbridge. This trailer doesn't give away much, but is a nice intro to this dark horror story of young love. Here's the first official UK trailer (+ two posters) for Justin P. Lange's The Dark,...

A fascinating range of projects were unveiled during Frontières’ seventh edition, hailing from all over the world and expressing many and varied points of view.

Until 15 years ago or so, zombie cinema was still a fairly narrow subgenre. These days, however, it seems to be one size that fits all — or at least is stretched to fit every other genre, from comedy to romance to globe-trotting action, with the occasional traditional gorefest thrown in for old time’s sake.

Whether it’s really well suited to a drama about child abuse is something viewers of “The Dark” will have to decide for themselves, though perhaps the better questions are: Did we even need to find out? Aren’t there (many) better ways of approaching such a difficult theme than via a shotgun marriage with horror conventions? On its own terms, writer-director Justin P. Lange’s debut feature (with Dp Klemens Hufnagl credited as co-director) is well-crafted and well-acted. But in trying to succeed as something both metaphorical and very literal-minded, the movie ends up being...

Directed and written by Justin P. Lange, The Dark is a different kind of teen film. Considering one of the characters is an undead teen girl, you’d think it would be a horror, but based on the clip above, it seems to go beyond the normal zombie narrative.

Nadia Alexander stars as Mina, the aforementioned undead, flesh-eating teen — and she’s not too fond of her new lifestyle. She has been cursed to haunt her childhood home in the woods so that nobody gets in and nobody gets out alive. Then she meets Alex (Toby Nichols), a blind teen boy who is dealing with his own problems. Instead of devouring him, Mina lets him live and the two begin to bond and some of her old human feelings begin to resurface. From this, they develop an interesting friendship.

The Dark will make its World Premiere on April 21 at the Tribeca Film Festival.
