Andrew SemanssResurrection is now in select theaters and will be released by IFC Films on-demand Friday, the film starring Rebecca Hall(The Night House) and Tim Roth(Reservoir Dogs). Shudder will be the films exclusive streaming home in November 2022.

InResurrection, Margaret (Hall) leads a successful and orderly life, perfectly balancing the demands of her busy career and single parenthood to her fiercely independent daughter Abbie. Everything is under control. But that careful balance is upended when an unwelcome shadow from her past, David (Tim Roth), returns, carrying with him the horrors of Margarets past.

Battling her rising fear, Margaret must confront the monster shes evaded for two decades who has come to conclude their unfinished business. Writer-director Andrew Semans delivers pure havoc one moment and feelings of deep familiarity the next, creating a film that promises a gripping emotional journey fused with a grand guignol style living nightmare.

Meagan Navarros review out of Sundance callsResurrectiona showcase for Rebecca Hall. Meagan writes, Because Semans infused horror into this psychological thriller,Resurrectioncaptivatingly goes to some dark, grisly places. Early on, a grotesque nightmare scene gives only a tiny hint of where Margarets journey will end.

And last but not least, Peacock debuts Blumhouse slasher movie They/Them this Friday, August 5th, wherein Kevin Bacon welcomes campers to a safe summer camp space.

Of course, that space is in reality anything but safe

They/Them, pronounced They-slash-Them, is a slasher horror film set at an LGBTQIA+ conversion camp executive produced, written, and directed byJohn Logan(Penny Dreadful).
