Production on the indie horror feature just wrapped in Canada under writer-director Ian Tuason, making his feature debut.

Kiri stars as the host of an ‘all-things-creepy’ podcast who moves into her dying mother’s house to be her primary caregiver. When she receives audio recordings of a young pregnant couple experiencing paranormal noises, she realizes the woman’s story mirrors her own. Each new recording scratches at her sanity, drawing her into a fate she cannot escape.

Other known actors are expected to be added as voice over characters.

“With The Undertone, I’m crafting a horror experience that doesn’t just evoke fear—it engulfs you in it, using immersive sound design to make silence as terrifying as the unknown,” said Tuason. “Inspired by my own experience as a caregiver, the film...

The Undertone follows the host of an ‘all-things-creepy’ podcast, who moves into her dying mother’s house to be her primary caregiver.

Some people say love is a battlefield, but what if there was a scientific solution to determining your compatibility with your chosen partner? Would the results confirm your evolution from lust to emotional adoration? Could you discover if the person you’re with is better suited for someone else? Some people would prefer to remain in blissful ignorance, but in Apple TV+‘s Fingernails trailer, love gets tested, and the results could destroy even the strongest of bonds.

Christos Nikou directs Fingernails from a script he co-wrote with Stavros Raptis and Sam Steiner. The story focuses on Anna (Jessie Buckley) and Ryan (Jeremy Allen White), a couple who believe they’ve found true love, and a controversial new technology proves it. There’s just one problem. Anna is curious to know if the results are accurate. So, she takes a position at a love testing institute, where she meets Amir (Riz Ahmed), and sparks fly.

"I think relationships should be worked on every day!" Apple has revealed an official trailer for the indie romantic drama Fingernails, arriving for viewing in November this fall. This just premiered at both the 2023 Telluride & Toronto Film Festivals, with stops at the San Sebastián, Zurich, Hamptons, and London Film Fests next. If there was a scientific test that proved whether you and your partner were in love, would you take it? From director Christos Nikou comes Fingernails, a playful meditation on love starring Jessie Buckley, Riz Ahmed, Jeremy Allen White, Luke Wilson, Nina Kiri, & Annie Murphy. In the film, Anna (Buckley) and Ryan (White) have found true love. It's been proven by a controversial new technology. There's just one problem: Anna still isn't sure about it. Then she takes a position working at the love testing institute, meets Amir there, and develops feelings. What happens next? Fingernails is the second...

Synopsis: Christian Wolff (Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people.

Nina Kiri, known for her role as Alma on “The Handmaid’s Tale,” has joined the cast of dystopian sci-fi adventure “Absolution.”

The title will be brought onto the market at Cannes’ Marché du Film Frontières platform, featuring in its Proof of Concept strand.

The Serbian-Canadian actor is no stranger to genre, having appeared in “The Heretics,” “The Haunted House on Kirby Road” or “Let Her Out.” Soon, she will also be spotted in Christos Nikou’s “Fingernails” alongside Jessie Buckley.

Directed by Filip Kovacevic, “Absolution” – a co-production between Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro – takes place in a barren wasteland, far removed from the mythical city of gods, with only one human settlement left.

Under the leadership of a zealous priest, who started conducting human sacrifice rituals after experiencing a religious vision, people are dying out. But things start to change when his younger brother finds a mysterious young woman, buried in a strange capsule.

Swiss auteur Simon Jaquemet’s “Electric Child” joins Ukrainian sci-fi comedy “U Are the Universe,” and “We Are Zombies,” from heavily rated Canadian trio Rkss, as three potential highlights at this year’s Cannes Marché du Film’s Frontières Platform, organized with the Fantasia Film Festival.

Focusing on genre, the Frontières showcase is emerging as one of the Marché du Film’s biggest market plays, supercharged by this year’s milestone Oscar triumph of “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” smart genre’s popularity among an emerging generation of filmmakers and its rising tide as one of the most resilient of independent movie market propositions.

For Rkss, it’s a return, having had great success with their previous “Turbo Kid,” which went on to Sundance, and won a bunch including at SXSW and Fright Fest.

“U Are the Universe,” deserves a special mention, given the sheer challenge of completing a project...

Outside of production design, which it was on four times, “The Handmaid’s Tale” has ruled one other Emmy category: Best Drama Guest Actress. A three-time champ there, it could add a fourth award this year to put it one shy of the most wins in the category.

The Hulu drama won guest actress three years in a row from 2017-19 for Alexis Bledel, Samira Wiley and Cherry Jones. It’s currently tied at three victories with “The Practice,” which won for Beah Richards (2000), Alfre Woodard (2003) and Sharon Stone (2004). Only “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” has won more — the long-running procedural, which may never end at this point, holds the record with five wins, including four in a row: Amanda Plummer (2005), Leslie Caron (2007), Cynthia Nixon (2008), Ellen Burstyn (2009) and Ann-Margret (2010). Perhaps what’s even more remarkable about “Svu’s” run is that the voters decided they were completely done with the...

“The Handmaid’s Tale” fans are shouting from the rooftops that the recently concluded fourth season is one of its best yet. And that’s thanks in no small part to the show’s talented cast members.

“The further that we get away from the Gilead we’ve known, the closer Janine comes back to herself,” Madeline Brewer explains in respect of her character Janine Lindo in “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The fourth season of Hulu‘s Emmy Award-winning drama premiered with three episodes on April 28 and will conclude its 10-episode run on June 16. In our exclusive video interview (watch above), the actress expands on how her character, despite Gilead having “tried to extinguish her flame,” is “aware of her autonomy” in season 4.

The series is based on Margaret Atwood‘s 1985 novel of the same name, which is set in a dystopian near-future America, where women are enslaved as ‘handmaids’ due to plummeting birth-rates and forced to bear children for the ruling class in the new authoritarian Gilead theocracy. When viewers first meet Janine in the debut season, she is “operating entirely on a trauma response” and putting...

Director Chad Archibald first came to my attention with the slasher that isn’t half as popular as it should be, The Drownsman (it could easily be an ongoing franchise). He followed that up with the intriguing Ejecta and then the gross-out body horror of Bite. The Heretics is the latest offering from a director that is not afraid to shake things up.

The Heretics takes what is a simple story of a woman being kidnapped and turns it completely on its head. What we also get are cults, suicides, crazy girlfriends and some sort of demon. That’s quite a lot to pack into an hour and twenty five minutes. But pack it in it does and the time flies by… Pretty much jumping straight into...

Happy Halloween, everyone! While I know it’s a bittersweet feeling that our favorite holiday is finally upon us, that doesn’t mean we have to bid the horror genre farewell any time soon. In fact, there are a ton of great genre films hitting VOD and a variety of digital platforms throughout the month of November, which should help with the sting of it no longer officially being the spooky season.

November’s digital releases kick off on Friday with Possum, Welcome to Mercy, and Monster Party, and then just a few days later, get ready for Death House, Kin, The Heretics, Beyond the Sky, and Blood, Sweat and Terrors on November 6th. One week later, the cyber thriller Searching hits various platforms (and is definitely worth a watch), and there are a few more titles making their digital debuts that day as well: Blue My Mind, Lasso, and Bloody Ballet.

This November, Gloria is transforming into something very, very strange. From director Chad Archibald, and in the tradition of Cabin in the Woods and Hereditary, comes The Heretics on demand November 6 from Uncork’d Entertainment. A young woman (Nina Kiri of ”The Handmaid’s Tale”) is abducted by a strange man who claims that a cult …

It was announced in September that The Heretics would show in Canadian theatres. A71 will host the showings, which take place nationwide. As well, the film will be available on DVD and Blu-ray in early 2018. In the film, a strange man abducts Gloria. Gloria is changing into something monstrous as a demon attempts to enter the world. The Heretics stars Ry Barrett and Nina Kiri. A preview of the film's Canadian theatrical launch, including a new movie clip, is hosted here. The movie clip shows Gloria (Kiri) and the demon. It hides in a darkened area of a remote cabin. Once it shows itself, Gloria has no choice but to run for it, into the hands of a Thomas (Barrett). The theatrical launch of the film begins today (Nov. 1st). The theatrical release will take place over the next week. The film is showing in major Canadian cities like: New Westminster,...

There are plans to bring horror title The Heretics to Canadian theatres. The theatrical launch begins this November. And, the film involves a cult, a demon and one man's attempt to keep evil at bay. From director Chad Archibald (Bite, 2015), the film was written by Jayme Laforest. As well, the film stars: Nina Kiri, Jorja Cadence, Ry Barrett and Nina Richmond. This title has already been reviewed on 28Dla, here: A The Heretics Review on 28Dla. Finally, distributor A71 Entertainment will begin the theatrical launch, at Landmark Theatres. More details on the film's theatrical release are hosted here. From the official synopsis, Gloria (Kiri) is a young woman, abducted by a strange man (Barrett). Thomas says he is saving her from a cult. But, there is something even more malevolent working behind the scenes. As Gloria changes into something unrecognizable, a demon is preparing to enter and destroy the world.

*full disclosure: an online screener was provided by the film's pr' firm. Direct: Chad Archibald. Writer: Jayme Laforest. Cast: Nina Kiri, Ry Barret, Jorja Cadence, Nina Richmond and Will King. Black Fawn Films is likely the biggest Canadian indie horror film producer. This film company has completed at least eight titles, in just a few years. Their latest is titled The Heretics and it was written by Jayme Laforest, who also wrote 2015's Bite. Both films deal with body horror and a female protagonist. This title incorporates one of the worst sex scenes, in recent film history. Always say no to demon sex, no matter how attractive the offer is. The story, within the film, deals with the birth of a demon - Abaddon and his desire to end the world. Similar to Jon Knautz's The Shrine (2011), characters are overcome through possession. In The Heretics, this reduces the protagonist's ability to resist evil.

Gloria's haunted past comes back to reclaim her in the eerie trailer for The Heretics, the latest film from director Chad Archibald (Bite).

A woman escapes the ritual, but she is tracked several years on. A demon is growing within her and another phase of the ritual must take place, to give it birth.
