Exclusives:
We Go On (Dirs. Andy Mitton & Jesse Holland)
Exclusively on Shudder from 23rd February
From Andy Mitton & Jesse Holland, directors of the award-winning YellowBrickRoad, comes a fresh, smart and ghoulish take on the ghost story. Paralyzed by his fear of dying, Miles Grissom (Clark Freeman) offers reward money to the first person who can show him a supernatural being – anything to prove to him that we go on after our deaths. He narrows the responses down to three viable candidates – a scientist, a medium, and a worldly entrepreneur. And along with his protective mother, he embarks on an adventure through Los Angeles that...

Somewhere up there in heaven (or hell) Samuel Beckett and Henry David Thoreau are tipping their coffee cups towards Trevor Juras' The Interior. For a first feature, this film is not only fully realized and confident, but has a deep understanding of the form and medium in which it chooses to tell its tale. Camera movement tells the story, accentuates the comedy, and exudes a show-don't-tell savvy that feels the work of a very experienced filmmaker. Varied meanings, interpretations and musing can be found in this simple story of a man going a bit crazy in the deep woods, but it is difficult to fully reflect upon such things between the comedy and the horror during the film because the experience is so...

Trevor Juras' wonderfully sharp existential-crisis-in-the-wilderness horror picture, The Interior, getting is gettting its commercial launch at Toronto's The Royal Cinema this Friday, July 8, and a VOD release (via Syndicado) shortly thereafter. Below is an interview done at last year's Fantasia International Film Festival, during the busy but relaxing breakfast-hour at Kaffein coffeehouse in Montreal. There, I managed to have a fine breakfast chat with Trevor and his cinematographer Othello Ubalde the day after the film's world premiere. Trevor is a mild mannered fellow, but there is clearly a keen, and confident, intellect at work under his placid exterior. He is clearly a filmmaker who knows what he wants, is willing to experiment along the way, and gets something that is both meticulous and compelling...

In a perfect world we’d have an annual holiday that lent itself somehow to the appreciation of horror films — just one day out of the year where people were encouraged to share their love for cinema of the scary, creepy, and gory kinds. A pipe dream, I know, so until that day comes we’ll have to settle for end of the year lists like this one to point people towards the best the genre has to offer. Great horror films that only played festivals and have secured release dates for 2016 — The Invitation, Black Mountain Side, The Witch, Nina Forever — are ineligible for this list, but I am including fest titles that have yet to be so lucky (in the hopes that some smart distributor picks them up soon for release). 15. Goodnight Mommy Twin boys suspect their mother, bandaged after a trip to the hospital, might not actually be their mother after all. This...

Director of Canadian survivalist horror movie White Raven speaks. Two of the very best films I’ve seen this year are set in the mountainous temperate rainforests of Canada’s west coast, featuring lost and haunted men hiking unmarked trails to oblivion. The first is Trevor Juras’ supernatural terror/absurdist comedy The Interior and the second is Andrew…

For the first twenty minutes of writer/director Trevor Juras’ first feature, The Interior, viewers can be forgiven for thinking they’re watching a Joe Swanberg mumblecore comedy, which isn’t a bad thing in and of itself – if you’re into that kind of thing.
James (Patrick McFadden) is a disillusioned young man, unhappy in his white collar job, who spends his days dreaming about telling off his boss and his evenings recording agonizingly bad rap songs. When he learns that he is ill with a mysterious ailment, he decides to quit his job and leave Toronto – and his girlfriend – behind in order to do some soul-searching on an extended camping trip deep in the British Columbia forest. When pressed as to why by said girlfriend, his re [Continued ...]...

Fearlessly setting out on a physically and emotionally daunting experience, no matter how terrifying the journey and consequences may appear to be, can be the most revealing way for people to truly discover who they really are, and what they’re meant to do. Not only is that telling exploration a meaningful one for first-time feature film writer, director, producer and editor Trevor Juras, who courageously made the leap into features after working on four shorts over the past two years, but also for the troubled anti-hero in his initial feature. The helmer daringly crafted an intriguingly flawed main character whose beliefs are still alluringly relatable in the new Canada-set and [ Read More ]

Shock’s David Bertrand talks to Canadian filmmaker Trevor Juras about his “lost in the woods” creeper The Interior. The Interior is a quiet, haunting, and beautifully chilling debut feature from Canadian writer/director/producer Trevor Juras and producer Peter Kuplowsky (Manborg), that eases us in with impeccably odd comedy and balletic lunch room scuffles before sharp-turning into one…

The Interior
Director: Trevor Juras
Runtime: 80 minutes
It’s always refreshing to see a filmmaker try something new with the horror genre even if the full package isn’t wholly unique. Enter The Interior, a low-key first feature from Canadian filmmaker Trevor Juras that is split into two very distinct acts.
Set in Toronto, the first act plays like a standard mumblecore comedy about a man in arrested development. We meet James (played by newcomer Patrick McFadden), a frustrated young man who should be happy with his life but remains chronically depressed. James smokes a few joints, records a rap track, loses his job and receives a distressing medical diagnosis when visiting his doctor. Wanting to get away from all the stress, James flees the suffocating big city and heads west on a getaway through the beautiful forests of British Columbia. It’s at this point that the title card...

Trevor Juras' debut feature film The Interior premieres at the Fantasia International Film Festival tonight. As a taste offering of his work, Juras has put his award-winning short film The Lamp on Vimeo (it is embedded below) for public viewing. After a presumably mediocre date, the couple awkwardly share a cab-ride home across Toronto, and the conversation acquires a tension as untruths are hinted at. The Lamp offers a look towards just how bizarre and specific a fetish can evolve into, and how the internet can allow indulgence to profligate serial daters. Buckle up. ...

We’ve been sharing a number of trailers for films receiving their World Premiere prior to the Fantasia Film Festival starting next week, and this one is a far throw from the body horror Bite or the neo-noir The Demolisher.
The Interior comes from Trevor Juras, a disciple of Werner Herzog’s film school and a Canadian born filmmaker. The Interior is Juras’s first full length feature following a number of shorts and is an atmospheric, dreamlike film that quickly devolves into nightmare. Here’s the synopsis via Fantasia:
James is fed up. Fed up with his lifestyle, his boss, his girlfriend. But mostly fed up with himself. To avoid a mental breakdown, this young man spontaneously decides to leave everything behind. First, he quits a high-paying career with promising prospects for a dead-end job. But that’s not enough for James, who yearns for an urgent change of scenery.

Presented with a mix of economy and mood, the short teaser for Trevor Juras' feature film debut, The Interior, gives you everything you need to know without telling you anything. A man suffering from the malaise of his urban existence goes into the woods to be by himself, or rather away from everyone else. Bad things probably happen. If anyone had the pleasure of seeing any of Juras' short films, in particular, The Lamp, they will be well aware of the directors' ability to squeeze tension from as mundane an scenario as sharing a cab, and asking to use the bathroom in an apartment on a first date.Shot in the forests of British Columbia, with an eye for mist and fog, and angst, The Interior will...
