It may be new, but The Demon's Rook is like a lost flick from the midnight horror heyday of the 1980's, when you could slurp soda and chew pepperoni pizza late into the night as practical effects terror emanated from the tube. Tribeca Film is hearkening back to those delectable days gone by with the upcoming on demand release of The Demon's Rook, showcased in a new trailer and poster.
The Demon's Rook will be available on VOD platforms beginning September 30th. We have the official synopsis, trailer, and poster below:
"Chaos descends upon a quiet town when Roscoe, the pupil of a wizard monk from an ancient race of demons, unknowingly opens a portal that allows an unspeakable evil to travel freely into our world. When three grisly beasts cross into our dimension, the living are possessed and the dead rise to destroy everything in their path. Armed with demons’ magic, Roscoe is the only fighting chance to put an end to their eternal path of destruction. An ode to the DIY creature-feature classics of the 1980’s, THE DEMON’S ROOK is a “gut-flinging monster mash” (Dread Central) that you won’t soon forget."
Directed by James Sizemore and written by Sizemore and Akom Tidwell, The Demon's Rook stars James Sizemore, Ashleigh Jo Sizemore, Josh Gould, Melanie Richardson, John Chatham, Sadé Smith, and Dustin Dorough.
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
