The Forest: "Rising with terrifying grandeur at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan, the legendary real-life Aokigahara Forest is the suspense-filled setting of the supernatural thriller. A young American woman, Sara (Natalie Dormer of “Game of Thrones” and “The Hunger Games”), journeys there in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared. In the company of expatriate Aiden (Taylor Kinney of “Chicago Fire”), Sara enters the forest having been well warned to “stay on the path.” Determined to discover the truth about her sister’s fate, Sara will have to face the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey on anyone who dares come near them. These malevolent spirits lying in wait for Sara at every turn will plunge her into a frightening darkness from which she must fight to save herself.

Starring Natalie Dormer (“Game of Thrones” and “The Hunger Games”), Taylor Kinney (“Chicago Fire”), Eoin Macken (“The Night Shift”), and Yukiyoshi Ozawa, director Jason Zada’s THE FOREST hits theaters nationwide from Gramercy Pictures on January 8th."

I'm Dreaming of a White Doomsday: Press release: "Lancaster, PA – Brian Keene, best-selling author of such notable novels as THE RISING, GHOUL, and CASTAWAYS, has teamed up as executive producer with frequent collaborator, writer/director Mike Lombardo (THE STALL, LONG PIG) of Reel Splatter Productions on the post-apocalyptic Christmas horror story I’M DREAMING OF A WHITE DOOMSDAY.

Having just wrapped filming in Pennsylvania, I’M DREAMING OF A WHITE DOOMSDAY tells the tale of Kelly and her son Riley, weathering the end times in a bomb shelter amidst the ruin that once was the world. With supplies and hope steadily declining, Kelly makes a horrifying decision that will cause her to discover just how far she would go for her child, and what lurks outside.

“What started as a short film we were shooting on the weekends just sort of took on a life of its own and kept growing until we realized we had a feature on our hands,” says Lombardo. “I’m usually known for doing the more comedic end of horror, so I think fans of Reel Splatter are going to be surprised at how bleak, disturbing, and nihilistic this one is. It goes to some pretty dark places.”

Starring Damian Maffei (Joe R. Lansdale’s CHRISTMAS WITH THE DEAD, CLOSED FOR THE SEASON), I’M DREAMING OF A WHITE DOOMSDAY will be ready to make its way in the summer of 2016.
