AFM ’11: ‘Emergo’ Promises To “Revolutionize Filmmaking Altogether”
Buried director Rodgrigo Cortes takes on writing duties for the previous announced Emergo, a haunted house flick directed by Carles Torrens. Gearing up for AFM we got our hands on new plot details that are probably overhyping the film.
“Shot entirely in English, ‘Emergo’ is the descendant of ‘The Blair Witch Project’ and ‘Rec,’ but breaks away from tradition by revolutionizing filmmaking altogether,” says the synopsis making bold promises. “All types of cameras are used – video, HD, 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm – as we follow scientists’ footsteps through a haunted house, casting a frightening spell over the audience. Brace yourself for this terrifying experience!”
Kai Lennox, Michael O’Keefee, Gia Mantegna, Rick Gonzalez, Fionna Glascott, Francesc Garrido all star in the flick that promises to be something “fresh” and “original” — isn’t that what we all want?
Like Terrifier 2 before it, the acclaimed slasher movie In a Violent Nature was released into theaters in its UNRATED form over the weekend, and the box office numbers are in.
The unique arthouse slasher movie comes courtesy of IFC Films and Shudder, and it scared up an impressive $2.1 million from 1,426 theaters in the United States over the weekend.
That’s one hell of a strong opening weekend for an experimental unrated slasher movie, nearly matching the $2.8 million opening of IFC’s Late Night with the Devil earlier this year. That film gave IFC its all-time highest opening weekend, and it went on to make $11.9 million worldwide. Will In a Violent Nature similarly leg its way to $10+ million? Stay tuned to find out.
A highly unique slasher movie, In a Violent Nature frames the killings from the perspective of the masked slasher as he trudges his way through the woods. It’s coming to Shudder soon.
In the film, “When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year old crime, his body is resurrected and becomes hellbent on retrieving it. The undead golem hones in on the group of vacationing teens responsible for the theft and proceeds to methodically slaughter them one by one in his mission to get it back – along with anyone in his way.”
Chris Nash wrote and directed In a Violent Nature. Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love, Reece Presley, Liam Leone, Charlotte Creaghan, Lea Rose Sebastianis, Sam Roulston, Alexander Oliver, and Lauren Taylor star in the slasher film.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her Sundance review for Bloody Disgusting, “In a Violent Nature may offer slasher thrills and a delightfully gory rampage across the wilderness, but Nash’s approach captures the carnage through ambient realism. It results in a fascinating arthouse horror experiment that plays more like a minimalist slice-of-life feature with a grim twist.”
