VOICE OF SHADOWS: "Scatena & Rosner Films is proud to announce the North American release of the gothic horror thriller VOICE OF SHADOWS, the debut feature film from director Nicholas Bain. The film was acquired in a deal negotiated by Bain and Gato Scatena, Managing Director of Scatena & Rosner Films. Infused with nods to cinema classics The Exorcist, Paranormal Activity, and The House of Sand and Fog, the film stars Guillermo Blanco (The Queen of Flow) and Corrinne Mica (Always, Lola) as a couple caught in the clutches of a mysterious cult and a supernatural evil entity, and Bee Vang (Gran Torino) as a young priest trying to save them all before it's too late. VOICE OF SHADOWS will arrive September 17 on digital and streaming platforms, including iTunes/Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Fandango at Home, Vimeo, and local cable & satellite providers.

"Voice of Shadows is a masterful blend of suspense and storytelling that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats", said Zach Stampone, VP of Distribution at Scatena & Rosner Films. "It's a testament to the talent and vision of the team behind this remarkable film. We're proud to bring such a compelling narrative to audiences everywhere."

VOICE OF SHADOWS follows Gabriel, a devote Catholic, who travels with his girlfriend Emma to the country where she stands to inherit a large estate. However, not everything is as it seems when they learn, in order for the inheritance to take effect, Emma must adhere to an increasingly strange set of rules while staying there for the weekend. As things escalate and Emma is pulled deeper into the darkness by a mysterious cult tied to the estate, Gabriel must battle his dark past and find a way to save her and himself before a powerful evil awakens and they are lost forever...

"I wrote Voice of Shadows, not just because I thought it would make a great movie, but mostly because there was something I needed to explore within myself while writing it", said Bain. "Voice of Shadows is a horror-noir about a flawed individual who is up against something much greater than himself. It’s a story about discrimination, class and the responsibility of sacred power."

Alongside Blanco, Mica, and Vang, VOICE OF SHADOWS stars Michael Paul Levin, Martin Harris, and Maria Jose Vargas Agudelo. The film is written, directed and executive produced by Nicholas Bain, produced by Guillermo Blanco, Martin Harris, and Jamie Roberts. Additional executive producers include Nick Breid, Todd R. Johnson, Dan Lehto, and Stephen McGraw.

"From the moment we first discussed the project, and as Nick began crafting the script, I knew we were working on something special", Blanco. "The love and passion we poured into this film, especially in the challenging post-pandemic environment, are reflected in every scene. Voice of Shadows is not just a movie; it’s a testament to our resilience and commitment to storytelling."

Voice of Shadows held its World Premiere at the Twin Cities Film Festival, and went on to hold a successful festival run and winning multiple awards, including Best Feature Film at Romford Horror Festival, Latitude Film Awards, and Bestlov Festival. The film also won Best Visual Effects at Los Angeles Crime and Horror Festival, and had a successful screening at Lit Scares Festival."

ONE MAN POE: "One Man Poe is returning to London and other parts of the UK after a sell-out run of all 21 shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it won the Spookies Award for Best Horror Solo Show.

To commemorate the 175th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe’s mysterious death in 1849, Stephen Smith performs four of the American author’s most spine-chilling classics, back-to-back and unabridged: The Tell-Tale HeartThe Pit and the Pendulum; The Black Cat; and The Raven.

Poe’s archaic language paired with Smith’s award-winning tour-de-force performance offers gothic horror fans and classical literature lovers an atmospheric evening rich with imaginative storytelling, making this marathon of the macabre the perfect theatrical treat for Halloween!

A huge fan of the late Roger Corman / Vincent Price’s Poe-cycle when a child, Stephen Smith reignited his love of classical horror stories during the pandemic by creating online renditions of Poe’s work via Facebook Live. When the theatres reopened he combined four of Poe’s most popular pieces in a solo show and named the extravaganza One Man Poe.

First performed in 2021 at Watford Palace Theatre, One Man Poe.has had multiple runs in London, on tour in the UK and internationally in Dubai and Off-Broadway, Since its premiere in 2022 at the Poe Fest International in Baltimore MA and at the Poe Museum in Richmond VA, One Man Poe has been booked for those events on an annual basis."
