Horror masters Brian Yuzna and John Penney have joined forces to launch the brand new genre label Dark Arts Entertainment, and first up from the distribution company is the film Terror Firma.
Dark Arts Entertainment will release Terror Firma on Blu-ray August 27, 2024.
Spinning a modern-day allegory of the turbulent times we’re living in, Terror Firma is described as a sci-fi thriller and debut film from writer-director Jake Macpherson. “It weaves a dark, out-of-this-world mystery of family, betrayal, and deadly flora,” Dark Arts previews.
In the film, “When struggling artist Lola has nowhere else to go, she uncomfortably leans on her older brother Louis for help. They haven’t seen each other in over a year and the awkwardness is hard to hide as he welcomes her to stay with him in his run-down East Hollywood home. There’s one catch though… Lou has a strange roommate named Cage whose...

[Disclaimer: I’m privileged to be one of the few people to have seen Strange Blood already, check out my Strange Blood review here]
Strange Blood, from producer producer Pearry Teo (Necromentia, Witchville), is the feature directorial debut of famed music video director and photographer Chad Michael Ward – who has previously worked with the likes of Static-x and Marilyn Manson. With the film set for a VOD debut later this month, distributors XLrator Media have released a brand new trailer and poster for the film… And you might spot a familiar name pop up on-screen at one point during the trailer.
When a brilliant but obsessive scientist goes to extremes to develop a universal cure for all disease, he finds himself infected with a bizarre parasite that begins to transform him into a bloodthirsty madman. Time running out, and with the aid of his med student assistant, he must find a way to stop the monster that is growing within and prevent the rest of the world from being “cured.”
