Press Release: "BEVERLY HILLS, CA (October 31, 2016) – A sinister tale of haunting and murder starring Neal McDonough (Captain America: The First Avenger, “Suits”) and Jodell Ferland (The Cabin in the Woods, “Dark Matter”), The Unspoken shocks on DVD December 6 from Anchor Bay Entertainment. From the producers of top horror franchises, Insidious and Paranormal Activity, as well as Blair Witch and The Devil Inside, the frighteningly twisted story also stars Chanelle Peloso (Zapped), Lochlyn Munro (Scary Movie, “Charmed”), Matt Bellefleur (In Their Skin, “Falling Skies”) and Pascale Hutton (“Flashpoint,” “Sanctuary”).
In 1997 the close-knit Anderson family vanished from their country home without a trace, without an explanation. No bodies were found and the house has remained undisturbed for 17 years...until now. When a mother and her mute son move into the mysterious place, a local teen reluctantly accepts a job as the son’s caretaker to help her financially struggling father. She immediately finds herself trying to make sense of the supernatural activities taking place in the house, all of which seem eerily similar to the past.
A creepy thrill ride into the terror that lurks in an unsuspecting small town, The Unspoken will be available on DVD for the suggested retail price of $22.98.

The Eyes of My Mother Clips & Featurette: Synopsis: "In their secluded farmhouse, a mother, formerly a surgeon in Portugal, teaches her daughter, Francisca, to understand anatomy and be unfazed by death. One afternoon, a mysterious visitor shatters the idyll of Francisca's family life, deeply traumatizing the young girl, but also awakening unique curiosities. Though she clings to her increasingly reticent father, Francisca's loneliness and scarred nature converge years later when her longing to connect with the world around her takes on a dark form. Shot in crisp black and white, the haunting visual compositions evoke its protagonist's isolation and illuminate her deeply unbalanced worldview. Genre-inflected, but so strikingly unique as to defy categorization, writer/director Nicolas Pesce's feature debut allows only an elliptical presence in Francisca's world, guiding our imaginations to follow her into peculiar, secret places."
Written and directed by Nicolas Pesce, The Eyes of My Mother stars Kika Magalhães, Will Brill, Flora Diaz, Paul Nazak, Clara Wong, Diana Agostini, and Olivia Bond. Magnet Releasing will unleash the film in theaters and on VOD on December 2nd.

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
