Watch the Short Film COME HOME: "Acclaimed filmmaker Mike Pecci, the director behind 12 Kilometers, is back with his latest award-winning horror short COME HOME, starring the talented Lance A. Williams. Following an explosive run on the film festival circuit, this gripping and thought-provoking short is now available to horror fans worldwide for free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2tueEZR81yo?
Director’s Vision: “The film started as an exercise for Lance and me to develop a shorthand as director and actor,” says Pecci. “We wanted to focus on creating a character that could emotionally resonate with an audience in such a short period of time. But it quickly evolved into something much bigger—and terrifying.”
"This haunting short also serves as a proof of concept for a larger feature film centering around a relentless demon that won’t stop knocking until you answer its call. Initially released exclusively to fans of Pecci’s popular In Love with the Process Podcast, COME HOME is now available for all to experience. Whether you’re a horror aficionado or new to the genre, this film promises to leave a lasting impression."

Watch the Trailer for George A. Romero’s Resident Evil: "Uncork’d Entertainment is set to release George A. Romero’s Resident Evil, an investigative documentary that dives deep into one of Hollywood’s most intriguing “what could have been” stories. Directed by Brandon Salisbury, this highly anticipated documentary will be available on Digital and On Demand starting January 7, 2025.
In 1998, Constantin Film set out to bring Resident Evil, the legendary horror video game, to the big screen. They enlisted George A. Romero, the visionary director who redefined the zombie genre, to adapt the project. But despite the perfect pairing of horror’s greatest minds, Romero’s vision for Resident Evil was never realized. Now, for the first time, Salisbury’s documentary uncovers the hidden story behind the project that captivated fans and the horror industry alike.
"George Romero gave birth to modern horror, the modern zombie, and ultimately Resident Evil,” says Salisbury. “I am honored to bring fans the untold story of his most important unmade project, to celebrate the legacy of the man that inspired me to pursue filmmaking as a career. I hope fans enjoy this ultimate experience in survival horror."
George A. Romero’s Resident Evil delivers an immersive, stylized experience, weaving together archival footage, newly uncovered documents, and fresh interviews with key personalities. Taking inspiration from documentaries like Jodorowsky's Dune, Salisbury crafts a compelling narrative that revisits the people and the creative vision behind this unproduced adaptation. Through candid interviews with industry insiders, George A. Romero’s Resident Evil brings to light the enduring mystery and the ambitious spirit that could have redefined the franchise’s journey into Hollywood.
“Uncork’d is honored to bring George A. Romero’s Resident Evil to fans who have long awaited the untold story behind this legendary, unmade project,” says Keith Leopard, President of Uncork’d Entertainment. “This documentary pays homage to Romero’s incredible vision and the power of storytelling that transcends what could have been. We’re excited for audiences to finally experience the mystery and legacy of his work in a whole new way.”
