Ignacio Diaz-Silverio (“Primo”) has been set to lead the cast of a horror-comedy titled Departing Seniors, with Deadline reporting that production is now underway in Chicago.
Yani Gellman (Pretty Little Liars), Lorena Diaz (Chicago Med), Ireon Roach (Candyman), and Cameron Scott Roberts (The Walking Dead) also star in the movie.
From director Clare Cooney, “the film follows witty high school senior Javier (Ignacio Diaz-Silverio), who after witnessing an act of bullying, begins having psychic visions that reveal the horrifying truth behind a rash of supposed suicides at his school. It’s up to him and his sarcastic best friend to unmask the truth behind the grisly occurrences.”
Jose Nateras wrote the script for Departing Seniors.
Queensbury Pictures (The Girl on the Third Floor, Broadcast Signal Intrusion) is producing.
Cooney said in a statement, “I couldn’t have asked for a more ambitious and exciting first feature. Jose’s sharp, funny, moving script is an ode to so many classic genre films, and yet uniquely its own. It has been exhilarating to dive into collaborating on this project with a team as diverse as the characters on the page. I look forward to heading back to my artistic home of Chicago to bring this suspenseful, whip-smart, thrilling script to life.”
Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.
Cinedigm announced today they have acquired North American rights to the Belgian survival horror film Deep Fear, which will have its world premiere at Fantastic Fest this September before streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX on October 11.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Directed by Grégory Beghin (Losers Revolution) and set in the 1980s, three students set out on the adventure of a lifetime as they decide to celebrate their recent graduation in Paris. Eager to do something more exciting than visit the local tourist spots, they decide to descend into the capital city’s cryptic catacombs.
Safe within the underground, they find the escape they’ve been searching for, unaware that they are not alone in the darkness…
When they discover a bunker created during the Nazi occupation, they have no way of knowing the danger that lurks within. Something, someone, is hunting them! Trapped deep underground, the group needs to get out before it’s too late…
“The Catacombs are scary as it is, but inject a heavy dose of claustrophobia, an undead Nazi and his dog, and you’ve got yourself a nightmare deep under the streets of Paris,” says Brad Miska, Bloody Disgusting’s Managing Director.
“Dark, dank, and bloody, French horror is making a comeback and Deep Fear delivers the goods.”
Lori Donnelly writes for Fantastic Fest: “An atmospheric horror full of old-school jump scares and claustrophobic cinematography, Deep Fear puts a unique spin on subterranean horror films like The Descent and As Above, So Below. Deep Fear intelligently combines the conventions established by the earlier films with classic slasher elements into an entertaining ride that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. ”
Fantastic Fest 2022 runs from September 22 – September 29 in Austin, Texas. For more information, visit their website.
Written by Nicolas Tackian (Alex Hugo), the film pulls viewers away from the beautiful lights of the French capital into the notorious city of the dead. The film is executive produced by Sébastien Delloye and François Touwaide.
The deal was negotiated by Brandon Hill, Acquisitions Manager, on behalf of Cinedigm and Greg Chambet of WTFilms on behalf of the filmmakers.
