NIGHT’S END: "Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural announced today the release for Jennifer Reeder’s upcoming film Night’s End starring Geno Walker (South Side, Chicago Fire), Kate Arrington (Mare of Easttown, Ray Donovan), Felonious Munk (For Life, Block Party) and Michael Shannon (Knives Out, Nine Perfect Strangers). A Shudder Original Film, Night’s End is set for release in North America, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Ireland on Thursday, March 31.
“Jennifer Reeder is an exciting and bold filmmaker who was an integral part of V/H/S/94, Shudder’s most watched movie ever,” said Craig Engler, general manager of Shudder. “Night’s End is eerie but human, sharply written and sure to surprise our members this March.”
Said Jennifer Reeder, “As a longtime Shudder fan, I am deeply honored to now be part of the Shudder fam! I've made two Shudder films this year, which feels like a dream (although both films play out more like nightmares). Throughout the process of making these films with Shudder, I have felt enormously supported and my creative vision protected and amplified. Shudder cares as much about filmmakers as they do about films which is a rare and coveted combination.”
In Night’s End, an anxious shut-in unwittingly moves into a haunted apartment and hires a mysterious stranger to perform an exorcism which takes a horrific turn. The film also stars Lawrence Grimm (Chicago Med), Daniel Kyri (Chicago Fire), Theo Germaine (The Politician) and Morgan Reesh (Blood Below the Skin).
Written by Brett Nevue, Night’s End is an Original Shudder Production in association with Crow Island Films and Institutional Quality Production. The film is produced by Neal Edelstein, Nevue and David E. Tolchinsky and executive produced by Reeder and Shudder’s Emily Gotto."

IFC Films and Shudder Buys Andrew Semans’ Bold Sundance Hit ‘RESURRECTION’ Starring Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth in Career Best Performances: "IFC Films and Shudder announced today that they are acquiring North American rights to psychological thriller RESURRECTION written and directed by Andrew Semans (Nancy, Please), starring Rebecca Hall, Tim Roth, Grace Kaufman and Michael Esper. The film premiered this week at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival to widespread critical acclaim, rapidly becoming one of the most talked about films at the festival. IFC Films will release the film in theaters and on VOD with Shudder taking the first streaming window.
RESURRECTION’s Margaret (Rebecca Hall) leads a successful and orderly life, perfectly balancing the demands of her busy career and single parenthood to her fiercely independent daughter Abbie. Everything is under control. But that careful balance is upended when an unwelcome shadow from her past, David (Tim Roth) returns, carrying with him the horrors of Margaret's past. Battling her rising fear, Margaret must confront the monster she’s evaded for two decades who has come to conclude their unfinished business. Writer-director Andrew Semans delivers pure havoc one moment and feelings of deep familiarity the next, creating a film that promises a gripping emotional journey fused with a grand guignol style living nightmare.
Arianna Bocco, President of IFC Films said, “Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth give career-defining performances in Andrew Semans’ revelatory and diabolically entertaining RESURRECTION. We are so thrilled to partner with Andrew and the amazing producing team to bring a film to audiences that will completely defy expectation.”
Director Andrew Semans added, "IFC Films has released some of the greatest films of the past two decades. It's a great honor to be working with their remarkable team and a great pleasure to know that RESURRECTION will be in such good hands."
“Rebecca Hall gives a performance for the ages and Tim Roth is absolutely chilling in this masterful film by Andrew Semans. People will be talking about this film for years to come, and we’re thrilled to be able to bring it to Shudder members,” said Craig Engler, GM for Shudder.
RESURRECTION was produced by Tango, Secret Engine, Square Peg and Rosetory. Produced by Tory Lenosky, Alex Scharfman, Drew Houpt, Lars Knudsen, Tim Headington and Lia Buman and executive produced by Max Silva, Neil Shah, Michael M. McGuire, Lucas Joaquin, Tyler Campellone, Christine D’Souza Gelb, and Rebecca Hall.
Rebecca Hall has received rave reviews for one of the most talked about performances at this year’s festival, with Esther Zuckerman at Thrillist stating the film “features a performance from Hall that is absolutely mesmerizing, proving her yet again to be one of the best actors of her generation. RESURRECTION is absolutely WILD.” David Ehrlich at Indiewire further describes the chemistry of the characters as, “a tug-of-war that allows RESURRECTION to be a heady psychodrama one minute and a shout-at-the-screen romp the next on its way to an ending that hits both notes at the same time”.
The deal for the film was negotiated by IFC Films’ Head of Acquisitions and Production Scott Shooman with WME Independent and 2AM on behalf of the filmmakers.
IFC Films is home to the most nuanced director-driven cinema of the last 20 years, and more specifically some of the most exciting new voices in genre film of the last decade, including Natalie Erika James’ RELIC, Dave Franco’s THE RENTAL, Jennifer Kent’s THE BABADOOK, Carlo Mirabella Davis’ SWALLOW, and the latest film from Peter Strickland premiering at the upcoming Berlinale, FLUX GOURMET. IFC Films is also releasing two more buzzy titles from the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, the critically acclaimed Finnish Midnight film HATCHING, directed by first-timer Hanna Bergholm, and the prestigious Venice Golden Lion winner, Audrey Diwan’s HAPPENING - both films are currently 100% on Rotten Tomatoes."

Small Town Monsters Explores the Dark Side of UFOs First Trailer for On the Trail of UFOs: Night Visitors Takes Viewers into the Most Disturbing Aspect of UFOlogy: "Wadsworth, OH--Do cattle mutilations still plague the American West? According to the latest documentary from Small Town Monsters, the phenomenon, which was popularized through references in shows like "The X-Files" and "Unsolved Mysteries", continues to this day. On the Trail of UFOs: Night Visitors unveils a detailed look at the ongoing UFO activity occurring across the country through interviews with investigators and eyewitnesses. The feature-length documentary promises to take viewers on a journey into a side of the subject that they’ve never explored.
Small Town Monsters has released the first-look trailer for the new film which begins to hint at some of the incredible eyewitness accounts and mind-boggling nuggets of information contained therein.
Night Visitors is the follow-up to the wildly successful 2020 miniseries, On the Trail of UFOs, and 2021’s On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky. The film is directed by Small Town Monsters founder Seth Breedlove and follows investigator Shannon LeGro (host of Into the Fray podcast) as she searches for answers across the stunning mountains and prairie lands of Colorado. Her search takes her deep into often-overlooked and deeply disturbing sides of the UAP topic; cattle mutilations and human abductions.
Along with the teaser, Breedlove and company have announced their film production lineup for the year which includes three additional titles: On the Trail of Bigfoot: Last Frontier, American Werewolves and Bloodlines: The Jersey Devil Curse. Bigfoot is a followup to last year's On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Discovery which spent over 8 weeks on Amazon Vdeo's best-selling overall titles list. American Werewolves explores the topic of upright canids in North America, while Jersey Devil seeks to blend narrative, fictional story elements with Small Town Monsters' tried and true documentary format.
All four titles are headed to Kickstarter on February 3rd where they will be seeking funding throughout the month. A slew of rewards sure to please the UFO, paranormal or cryptid enthusiast in your life are up for grabs for backers of the campaign.
On the Trail of UFOs: Night Visitors will debut on VOD this spring."
