A secret cult has sinister intentions for one young mother's baby... or it all could be in her head in Dan Bush's The Dark Red. With the revenge thriller now in theaters and on digital platforms via Dark Sky Films, we've been provided with an exclusive clip to share with Daily Dead readers.

You can watch a startling revelation in our exclusive clip from The Dark Red below, and we also have official details on the film, along with its previously released trailer and poster:

"Ranked the #1 movie at FrightFest Film Festival by Entertainment Focus, The Dark Red is a sophisticated, supernatural revenge thriller with a killer cast including April Billingsley, Kelsey Scott (How to Get Away with Murder), and Rhoda Griffis that will appeal to fans of Unsane and The Uninvited.

One of three directors who first won attention with 2007’s excellent three-part thriller “The Signal” (not to be confused with another enterprising sci-fi-tinged indie of that title from 2014), Dan Bush has made several interesting genre features on his own since then. Like cloning fantasy “The Reconstruction of William Zero” and bank robbery-turned-monster movie “The Vault,” his latest film intrigues with an offbeat premise even if it ultimately doesn’t develop to fully satisfying results.

Once again co-written with cast member Conal Byrne, “The Dark Red” is or even come to full fruition individually. Nonetheless, this quasi-horror mixed bag will hold viewers’ attention for its originality even as it flags in both credibility and suspense. Dark Sky is releasing the movie on five U.S. screens March 6, simultaneous with its digital-format launch. It should do well enough among genre fans — who nonetheless will be kept waiting a bit longer for Bush...

Writer/director Dan Bush and writer Conal Byrne team for the third time, following The Reconstruction of William Zero (2014) and The Vault (2017) with The Dark Red, which tells the story of Sybil – a woman who is being held against her will in a psychiatric ward because her claims are extreme. She says her newborn baby was kidnapped by a secret society to harvest its supernatural blood. She says her families bloodline means her baby has, like her, great psychic powers – including the ability to hear other people’s thoughts. Trapped on a psych ward, subject to a multitude of psychiatric sessions, she begs the doctors to let her go so she can rescue her child from the cult’s dungeons.

"Are you hearing anything or... seeing anything out of the ordinary?" Signature Entertainment in the UK has unveiled the first official trailer for a cult thriller, psychological horror film titled The Dark Red, the latest from genre filmmaker Dan Bush. The film stars April Billingsley as a young woman who is committed to a psychiatric hospital and claims her newborn was stolen by a dark cult, a "secret society to harvest its supernatural blood". But is it true or is she just delusional? The film is described as an "seat-edge twisted shocker" that premiered at the Austin Film Festival late last year, but is still waiting for an official release in the Us. The cast includes Conal Byrne, Bernard Setaro Clark, Jill Jane Clements, John Curran, Rhoda Griffis, and Kelsey Scott. This trailer gets pretty violent and bloody (since there's no MPAA restrictions playing a UK trailer) so watch out.

Also screening at this year’s fest will be Yogos Lanthimos’s The Favourite starring Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz as well as Asghar Farsadi’s Everybody Knows starring Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz.

'Resurrection' Recap

In a rice paddy in China, a little boy clad in jeans and a red sweatshirt wakes up, takes in a large breath and wanders through the nearby town. There, after he’s approached by a concerned couple, he faints. The boy’s story is later recounted to Agent Martin Bellamy (Omar Epps). All the agent has to work with to identify the boy is the inscription of “Jacob” inside his shirt and its Mansfield Panthers logo.

Bellamy eventually contacts the Arcadia, Mo., police department and asks if there are any missing children. The sheriff informs the agent that no kids are missing from the town and promptly hangs up. Still convinced that Arcadia is the boy’s home, he asks Jacob (Landon Gimenez) if he...

The population in Mystic Falls continues to grow as various Facebook posts reveal the addition of three new people to Season 3 of The Vampire Diaries.

Houghton Talent, Inc. sent out a congrats to Jason Mac for booking a role on the hit CW show, and People Store gave online kudos to Diany Rodriguez and April Billingsley for adding The Vampire Diaries to their resumes.

Mac and Rodriguez appear to be newbies, with each showing up in a few film shorts, but Billingsley has been making the rounds in a variety of B-films, including Hellphone, Andre the Butcher, and Chosen, where she had the interesting role of ‘Ritual Murder Victim.’ If any of the new faces are primed to be vamp chow, it’s Billingsley.

There are currently no details about what characters the trio will be playing, but I’d say we’re looking at a few walk-on parts that...
