CRUSHED Trailer & Key Art Exclusive: Steve Oram Stars in Simon Rumley’s New Thriller

It is always an exciting time when we get to introduce everyone to a new project from director Simon Rumley. Today, we have your very first look at the trailer and key art for their new thriller, Crushed. The film just had its world premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival on Aug 16th before screenings roll out at Frightfest, Fantastic Fest, and Sitges.    Crushed is an unflinching, character driven thriller, shot in Bangkok, Thailand. It follows a family, led by a priest named Father Daniel, whose faith and resilience are tested when their daughter is kidnapped, leading to an intense journey of discovery and justice.   This looks to be harrowing stuff. No one should delight in watching dramatizations of child trafficking, but it…

With Summer nearing an end and the routine of life resuming, respite may be found in Shudder’s lineup for September.    The big one is Sean Byrne’s horror flick, Dangerous Animals, so big that only subscribers in the U.S. will be able to watch it on the platform. Sorry on Shudder’s behalf? That seems like a weird situation, but with such a popular movie this Summer, everyone wanted their nibble at the worldwide rights for it.    Speaking of sorry, Canada. The Canadian found footage flick, House on Eden, will be available in all territories where Shudder is available. The filmed-in-Canada horror flick, Night of the Reaper, will also be available in all territories.    Regular programming for The Last Drive-in continues and a new…

Honestly, we are a bit surprised it has taken this long for Vivieno Caldinelli’s gross-out horror comedy Scared Shitless to find a home here on home soil.    Scared Shitless premiered at last year’s Fantasia Film Festival where our own Kurt wrote in their review, “Surprisingly light on the eponymous excrement, but delightfully heavy on 1980s era practical effects, Vivieno Caldinelli’s Scared Shitless is a fun little Canadian creature feature with a watertight screenplay, and a surprisingly sophisticated (given the subject matter, and the sub-genre) sense of comic timing.”   The folks at Blue Fox Entertainment have acquired the Canadian horror comedy and are going big with the launch. This Saturday, they are hosting a one-night-only screening here in Toronto at Scotiabank Theatre, in partnership…
