Amazon & Blumhouse's Gothic Horror Film "THE MANOR" Releasing Worldwide on Amazon Prime Video Oct 8

 

A chilling examination of how we view aging and our treatment of the elderly, with a supernatural twist, THE MANOR centers on Judith Albright (Barbara Hershey) who recently suffered a mild stroke and reluctantly moves into a historic nursing home where she becomes convinced an unknown force is killing the residents.  

Axelle utilizes her keen eye for high-brow horror to showcase the exceptional talents of Barbara Hershey in a rare over-70 female protagonist role, supported by a star-studded cast including Bruce Davison, Nicholas Alexander, Jill Larsen, Fran Bennett and Katie Amanda Keane. Axelle’s script explores the humanity of our elderly population and how these members of our society are vibrant, capable, and not expendable.

THE MANOR will launch on Amazon as part of the Welcome to the Blumhouse series, a quartet of unique, unsettling thrillers developed and produced with an eye towards diverse, original storytelling with an emphasis on rising female filmmakers. THE MANOR will premiere as part of the series, among 3 additional titles: Black as Night, Madres, and Bingo Hell.

 

About Axelle Carolyn:
A passionate fan of genre content and a talented director to watch, Axelle has several projects under her belt across both the television and film spaces, helming several recent beloved genre stories. In addition to THE MANOR, she recently directed episodes of several prestigious TV shows in the last year, including the standout, black-and-white chapter of “The Haunting of Bly Manor” from Paramount, Amblin, and Netflix, which Rotten Tomatoes called “the year’s most haunting hour of TV”, as well as Ryan Murphy’s lauded FX series “American Horror Story”, Shudder’s “Creepshow,” and Netflix’s upcoming “The Midnight Club.” Axelle’s previous writing credits also include the “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” for Warner Bros and Netflix.  Her feature directorial debut, a slow-burn ghost story titled SOULMATE won several awards in festivals around the world and is currently streaming on Amazon.

Universal Pictures' BLACK CHRISTMAS opens in theaters nationwide on December 13, 2019


Just in time for the holidays comes a timely take on a cult horror classic as a campus killer comes to face a formidable group of friends in sisterhood.

Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. But as Riley Stone (Imogen Poots, Green Room) and her Mu Kappa Epsilon sisters—athlete Marty (Lily Donoghue, The CW's Jane the Virgin), rebel Kris (Aleyse Shannon, The CW's Charmed), and foodie Jesse (Brittany O'Grady, Fox's Star)—prepare to deck the halls with a series of seasonal parties, a black-masked stalker begins killing sorority women one by one.

As the body count rises, Riley and her squad start to question whether they can trust any man, including Marty's beta-male boyfriend, Nate (Simon Mead, Same But Different: A True New Zealand Love Story), Riley's new crush Landon (Caleb Eberhardt, Amazon's Mozart in the Jungle) or even esteemed classics instructor Professor Gelson (Cary Elwes).

Whoever the killer is, he's about to discover that this generation's young women aren't about to be anybody's victims.

This December, on Friday the 13th, ring in the holidays by dreaming of a Black Christmas.

From director Sophia Takal (Always Shine) from the script she wrote with April Wolfe (Widower), comes a bold new take on the 1974 slasher classic produced by Jason Blum (Halloween, Split) for his Blumhouse Productions, by Ben Cosgrove (The Good German, Rumor Has It) and by Adam Hendricks (Cam, Bloodline, Lucky) for Divide/Conquer and by Brigitte Berman (The River of My Dreams, Artie Shaw: Time Is All You've Got).
