Luke Jaden has unveiled the ensemble cast for his indie Animals of the Land, which he wrote and will direct later this summer in Michigan.

Warrior Nun and Killing Eve actor Andrea Tivadar, Jord Knotter, Abel Lysenko and newcomer Roan Kyne have nabbed roles in the horror thriller. Animals of the Land follows a family at the beginning of time who live in perfect harmony with Mother Nature, until an act of rebellion unearths a violent force of evil.

Tivadar, the only woman in the movie’s main cast, will play Willow, the family’s mother, while Knotter plays the father, Clay. Kyne nabbed the role of the oldest son, River, while Lysenko will play the youngest son, Rye.

So a quick look on IMDb before I viewed Boo! told me that it wasn’t in fact a comedy that I believed it was based on the title and poster I had seen.

It is about as far away from comedy as a horror could be to be honest, with a tone that felt a lot more like recent box office and critic hit, Hereditary. This story also centres on a dysfunctional family that includes mother, father, daughter and son and while I write this I see that it has a few more similarities with Hereditary! In Boo! this...

Aurora Perrineau (Jem and the Holograms), Jill Marie Jones (Ash Vs. Evil Dead), Charley Palmer Rothwell (Dunkirk), Dwight Henry (Beasts Of The Southern Wind) and Rob Zabrecky (Criminal Minds) are set to appear in Luke Jaden's horror pic Boo!, along with Moonlight‘s Jaden Piner. Co-written by Jaden and Diane Michelle, the story follows a family that battles an unseen force as they soon realize they must band together in order to stop the unimaginable terror.

Rupert Murdoch made a generalization last week that all Muslims “must be held responsible” for the Charlie Hebdo massacre in France, and “Parks and Recreation” star Aziz Ansari turned the questionable logic against the media tycoon on Sunday by declaring that pedophilia in the Catholic Church is all #RupersFault.

“Are you responsible for the evil shit all Christians do or just the insane amount of evil you yourself contribute to?” the comedian tweeted in response to Murdoch’s analysis of the terror attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris. “Rupert Murdoch is responsible for all pedophilia committed by anyone Catholic.
