LOS ANGELES, CA – SEPTEMBER 3, 2013 – Ruthless Pictures has picked up worldwide rights to award winning horror thriller The Invoking.

 

When Samantha visits the ancestral home she has inherited, forgotten memories begin to seep back to the surface. As her sanity slowly unravels, she soon finds herself unable to tell the difference between reality and a series of terrifying visions. While her world crumbles, Samantha discovers that the visions may be tied to a horrifying past deeply buried in her memory.

 

With The Invoking (formerly Sader Ridge), the filmmakers (writer/director Jeremy Berg, writers/producers Matt Medisch and John Portanova, collectively The October People) set out to tell a horror story with strong characters and tons of atmosphere. Inspired by films like The Shining and Rosemary’s Baby, where the unknown is more frightening than anything real, they hoped to deliver a potent psychological horror experience.  “As first time filmmakers we knew there were obstacles to overcome,
says Berg, “but through the hard work and dedication of our cast and crew, we created a film that I couldn’t be happier with.”

 

“An award-winning festival run and critical reviews have been a great reward for the hard work and vision we had for the film,” add Medisch and Portanova.

 

“Ruthless Pictures saw the potential in our film, and a partnership was born,” Berg continues. “With their track record of releasing interesting and successful horror films, it was clear that they were the right company to help us get The Invoking out to the widest possible audience.”

 

Ruthless Pictures’ Jesse Baget is excited at the chance to represent the film, “These guys are very talented and I’m thrilled to get behind their first feature, which I believe audiences are gonna be haunted and intrigued by.”

 

The Invoking stars Brandon Anthony, D’Angelo Midili, Trin Miller, Andi Norris and Josh Truax.

Night of the Naked Dead will be available on DVD November 3rd, 2013 from Brain Damage Films.

About the Film

Set in a 250 year old house amidst wild and haunted Cape Cod saltwater marshes, like the Sixth Sense, the film marries a tightly plotted thriller with the paranormal. Writer/Director Junius Podrug’s vision was to blend Hitchcock with the X-Files when living dead carry their lust and rage out of the grave.

Full Synopsis:

A storm from hell brings mysterious strangers who come with secrets to a B&B on an isolated island. Emma, the B&B owner, is a struggling romance writer. David, a handyman, is a traumatized war veteran wrestling with his past and sleeping in his van. They face a menace more shockingly evil and wickedly terrifying than anything in their wildest dreams. Veronica arrives naked. Coby has blood on him. Then the Others appear. Sex and murder, lust and revenge will make this a night that the romance writer and her new friend will never forget… if they survive.

Amnesiac

 

About the Film

A blend of supernatural horror and psychological drama, Amnesiac counts the cost of loss, guilt and reckless desperation as we delve into the life of one deeply disturbed young woman and the afterlife of one equally disturbed dead man.

Amnesiac is a psychological horror at its purest, chronicling the creation of a malevolent haunting born from the depths of a tortured mind at the heart of the film’s narrative. In true literary fashion, this narrative gradually subverts the viewer’s assumptions, eventually revealing the horrific truth hidden beneath layers of calculated deceit.

Official carriers for On Demand viewing will be announced soon!

Synopsis

In the wake of losing her baby, lonely Kate Faulkner has become dangerously obsessed with the occult, much to the horror of her only sister, Bec. One night, Bec and her boyfriend, Thom, visit Kate in order to try and make her see the danger of her obsession. Through the use of a Ouija board, they make contact with a mysterious spirit who offers to help Kate in her mission to find her dead son. But events soon take a menacing turn when the séance participants discover the true motives of the mystery stranger at their door and the dark, eerie place of child sacrifice known as Wyke Wreake.
