Stars: Kaya Coleman, Trey Anderson, Scarlett Sperduto, Cissy Ly, David Mitchum Brown | Written and Directed by Zac Locke
While Santa Isn’t Real is only his second film as a director, the supernatural slasher #Float being his first, Zac Locke is no stranger to the genre. He has a long string of credits as a producer on films ranging from Mercy Black and Climate of the Hunter to, for better or worse, the most recent version of Black Christmas.
Santa Isn’t Real opens with Nikki ignoring a text from her boyfriend Nathan (Trey Anderson; Performance Anxiety) to celebrate with spiked eggnog and a bottle of Zoloft As the clock strikes midnight Santa comes down the chimney and attacks her before eating the cookies, laying a finger aside his nose and going back up the chimney. The attack leaves her in a coma for nearly a year. She comes out of it days before Christmas,...

Momentum Pictures has acquired North American and UK rights to Blumhouse Productions’ thriller Dashcam from director Rob Savage, who broke out in 2020 with his pandemic horror feature, Host. The Entertainment One company plans to release it in theaters this summer.

Blumhouse gave us a jump scare today as they announced that they will drop the Divide/Conquer-produced slasher film Thriller on Netflix on April 14. Following the surprise release of last week’s horror Mercy Black, this is the second time Blumhouse has surprised us with a release date for one of their films.
Written and directed by filmmaker Dallas Jackson and executive produced by RZA, Thriller is cut from the same cloth as classic slasher films like Prom Night and Halloween, but subverts the genre which usually takes place in white suburbia and sets it in modern-day Compton, CA, where teenagers experience an unforgiving cityscape of racism and violence.
Through the a black horror lens, the movie follows the story of an introverted young man named Chauncey Page who is sent to juvenile hall after he accidentally kills a young woman who is part of a group of tormentors that...

Over the weekend, Netflix dropped an unexpected treat for all of us horror fans, as they released Owen Egerton’s Mercy Black on their streaming service, a surprising approach considering we live in the day and age where it feels like we know everything about every movie coming out months ahead of time.
Ahead of its secretive digital bow, Daily Dead spoke with Egerton about the inspiration behind the story of Mercy Black, how the project ended up being driven by some fierce females both in front of and behind the camera, his experiences working with Blumhouse (who produced the project), and more.
Mercy Black is currently available to stream on Netflix Instant.
Congrats on the film, Owen. I was wondering if you could start off by talking about the story of Mercy Black and the inspirations behind it? Also, how did you approach building the emotional weight to this...
