Presented by the Duplass brothers and Blumhouse, Creep is directed by Patrick Brice and will be released this summer. Also in this round-up: details on a special screening of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge and a new poster for Ghoul.
Creep: After receiving critical acclaim at last year's SXSW, Creep will arrive on iTunes on June 23rd and stream on Netflix on July 14th:
Synopsis: "Looking for work, Aaron (Patrick Brice) comes across a cryptic online ad: “$1,000 for the day. Filming service. Discretion is appreciated.”
Low on cash and full of naiveté, he decides to go for it. He drives to a cabin in a remote mountain town where he meets Josef (Mark Duplass), his cinematic subject for the day. Josef is sincere and the project seems heartfelt, so Aaron begins to film. But as the day goes on, it becomes clear that Josef is not who he says, and his intentions are not at all pure.
The directorial debut of Patrick Brice and produced by Jason Blum (PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, INSIDIOUS) and Mark Duplass (SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED), CREEP’s intense interplay between its two protagonists upends expectations at every turn."

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Screening: Press Release -- "Seacoast Repertory Theatre and Let’s “B” Reel are proud to announce that their award winning Red Light series will be presenting the cult classic A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddys Revenge, with the star of the film, Mark Patton June 20th, 2015. In addition to the extra special screening, Patton has invited the Let’s ‘B’ Reel audience to partake in the live filming of the documentary “There Is No Jesse”.
“We are thrilled to have Mark on board for our screening” says Knate Higgins, special series curator for The Rep. “Tim and I have always wanted to pay homage to the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise after our smashing success with Ari Lehman (The first Jason Vorhees) and our Friday the 13th screening last summer.”
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge picks up where the first film left of. In true Horror sequel fashion, Freddy Krueger (scorned supernatural monster who kills teenagers in their dreams) is after a new group of teens, singling out Jesse (Patton) as his next chosen vessel for dream induced terror. The film has been noted as the most anticipated sequel in the horror film industry. But, big budgets could not save NOES2 from sloppy directing and shoddy writing. The sequel is best known for its homoerotic sub text, that Patton (who in turn, is gay) was in on, making for some of the most cringe worthy and giggle inducing scenes in horror film franchise history. Patton has made his legacy as the first gay horror film star.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge is graciously sponsored by Jet Pack comics.
Let’s “B” Reel presents A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 with star, Mark Patton runs one night only Saturday June 20th at 8:00pm. Bar is open at 7PM. Advance tickets are $10, and day of show tickets are pay what you want. Seating is limited and due to high demand, advance purchase is recommended. Tickets may be purchased online at www.seacoastrep.org, in person at 125 Bow Street Portsmouth, NH 03801, or over the phone at 603.433.4472."

Ghoul: Press Release -- "Vega Baby Releasing has announced today that the film GHOUL will be available on VOD and DVD starting June 23, 2015. After filming in the Ukraine, the frightening flick opened #1 in the Czech Republic and went on to become the highest grossing horror movie in Czech history, followed up by a limited U.S. theatrical release in March.
GHOUL is a supernatural horror film involving the real life story of the Soviet Union’s most violent serial killer, Andrei Chikatilo. Three Americans travel to the Ukraine to film a documentary about the cannibalism epidemic that swept through the country during the famine of 1932. After being lured deep into the Ukraine forest for an interview with one of the last known survivors, they quickly find themselves trapped in a supernatural hunting ground.
GHOUL was written and directed by Petr Jakl and produced by J.B.J. Film. Rob Cohen (director, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS), Joe Lynch (director, EVERLY) and Luke Rivett are Executive Producers. Nancy Bishop and Frantisek Vondracek served as Co-Producers."
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).
