This May, Scream Factory is set to release two IFC Midnight films on Blu-ray and DVD. Up first is Kaleidoscope, starring Toby Jones as a man who has made great strides to free himself of his past until it comes back to haunt him. Then there is Desolation (read Heather Wixson's review here), which follows a widow, her son, and best friend into the woods... and usually nothing good happens in the woods in a horror movie.

From Scream Factory: "We are pleased to announce that we have two new IFC Midnight films planned for release on Blu-ray & DVD this May!

KALEIDOSCOPE – This intense, twisty thriller unfolds in the darkest corners of a man's mind. Recently released from prison, mild-mannered Carl (Toby Jones, Captain America: The Winter Soldier) quietly attempts to move on with his life. Just as he embarks on his first date in 15 years, Carl's fresh start is shattered by the sudden reappearance of his domineering mother (Anne Reid), whose presence awakens within him a deep-seated trauma. What unfolds is a brain-warping puzzle as reality and illusion, past and present collide and explode in violence. The debut feature from Rupert Jones is a provocative psychological mystery that asks: is it possible to escape our past?

From Scream Factory"DESOLATION – Following her husband's death, grieving widow Abby (Jaimi Paige) journeys into the forest he loved to scatter his ashes, accompanied by her teenaged son (Toby Nichols) and her best friend Jen (Alyshia Ochse). As they wander the wilderness and reminisce, they're struck by a rising feeling of dread: they are not alone. A mysterious, silent stranger in sunglasses — The Hiker — is stalking their every move. Suddenly, they find themselves the hunted prey in a deranged killer's terrifying game. The nerve-shredding feature debut from Sam Patton will make you think twice before venturing into the woods.

    About the Author - Tamika Jones

    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).
