The winners from the 5th annual Marseille Web Fest are in. The largest international event in Europe dedicated to digital series, which took place on October 8 and 9, 2015, ultimately saw a variety of French-based creators and titles steal the show.

Led by Jean-Pierre Dionnet, the professional jury for Marseille Web Fest 2015 considered 25 different series hailing from ten different countries, including England, the United States, Belgium, Australia, Brazil, and Italy. Director and producer Brieuc de Goussencourt won the best director award for his work on the Belgian series Euh, which also received an award for best production thanks to Grizzly Films and Rtbf Interactive. Charles Grenier won best editing for the French-Canadian series Feminin/Feminin.

Whilst the likes of Inside, Martyrs, High Tension et al., have pushed the boundaries of the horror genre with their mix of brutality and gore, there still hasn’t been anything – at least from the French – that is as batshit insane as Dead Shadows. The closest I’ve seen to this movie – at least in terms of the crazy over-the-top monster-movie gore and grue – has mostly hailed from the Far East, and been animated. Yes, imagine the craziest Japanese anime you’ve ever seen, and I’m including the madness of hentai movies in that generalisation, make it live-action, and that is essentially have Dead Shadows…

If there's one "found footage" flick that you should really be putting the effort in to dig up, it's director/actor duo Derek Lee and Clif Prowse's thrilling Afflicted – and it'll be spreading its charms on UK DVD this October 6, courtesy of Entertainment One.

Executive produced by Insidious and Sinister producer Brian Kavanaugh-Jones alongside producers Chris Ferguson and Zach Lipovsky, Afflicted stars Clif Prowse, Derek Lee, Michael Gill and Baya Rehaz.

Special features on the disc are yet to be determined.

Synopsis

Best friends Derek and Clif embark on the trip of a lifetime, planning to travel to the ends of the earth, see the world, and live life to the fullest, while documenting their adventures via video footage posted to their website. But things take a dark and bloody turn when, following an amorous encounter with a beautiful woman in Paris, Derek starts to show signs of a mysterious affliction.

A round-the-world trip by best buddies Derek and Clif (played by directing team Derek Lee and Clif Prowse) takes a turn for the worse when the former hooks up with a beautiful French woman (Baya Rehaz) at a nightclub. He's left with a mysterious wound, bouts of feverish vomiting, a fiery rash... and the ability to punch through a stone wall and leap to the top of a building.

A new featurette is here in support of Derek Lee and Clif Prowse's truly killer vampire flick, Afflicted (review), and it takes a close look at one of the movie's most insane moments. Dig it!

CBS Films has released Afflicted in theaters and on various VOD platforms. Look for it on iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Google Play, Cable On Demand, Playstation, and Xbox.

The film stars Lee, Prowse, and Baya Rehaz. Learn more over on the official Afflicted website!

CBS Films has released the first trailer for writers/directors Derek Lee and Clif Prowse’s found footage horror thriller Afflicted. The film is a twist on the found footage genre and follows two best friends who set out on the trip of a lifetime around the world. Early on in their journey, however, it suffers a dark and unexpected turn when an encounter with a mysterious woman leaves one of them afflicted. The found footage aspect of the pic comes into play as the two set out to document their journey on video. Some of their cameras are actually attached to their heads, allowing Lee and Prowse to display some of the horror and action from a first person perspective. The pic went over quite well at last year’s Fantastic Fest by winning Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay in the horror category, and it looks to be some pretty riveting stuff.

Prepare to be infected by "Afflicted." The found footage festival favorite is heading to theaters soon, and a new trailer promises some clever, low-budget thrills and chills that seems to combine the superhero hijinks of Josh Trank's "Chronicle" with the gross-out disease horror found in David Cronenberg's body of work.  Two pals (Derek Lee and Cliff Prowse -- who also co-wrote and co-directed) embark on a fun-filled Euro trip, only for one of them to be mysteriously infected with some sort of fatal superhuman powers after encountering a beautiful woman in Paris (Baya Rehaz). Watch the trailer here: Read Drew McWeeny's review of the film here. "Afflicted" opens April 4.
