Director: Silvana Zincolo.
Writers: Pascal Francaix, and Silvana Zincolo.
The distribution company Mti Home Video moved the period piece The Shadow Within to DVD May 25th in North America. This film is based on the novel “Les Meres Noires” by Pascal Francaix and takes a supernatural look at two identical brothers: one who dies at birth and another who lives with the remnants of his brother's spirit within himself. This film is sparse on scares or intensity until the finale where one mother's abusive behaviour is returned in a violent matter. Not a film from the usual Hollywood mold, The Shadow Within offers a slow burning story with lots of mystery, interesting costumes and an excellent performance from Kate Winslet's little sister, Beth Winslet (Nicked), and the young protege Laurence Belcher.
The writing begins with the death of Jacques Dumont in childbirth and moves into a small Italian village where mother,...

It's time again for the NYC Horror Film Festival which runs from November 18-22 and will be held at the Tribeca Cinemas located at 54 Varick St and Canal St. What's playing you ask?
The Aj Bowen (The Signal) starrer which looks like a sweet arthouse vampire flick called Maidenhead. (trailer) This seems to have disappeared shortly after it's announcement over a year ago, so I'm glad it's getting some play!
Another gem is the weird horror comedy Must Love Death (review) which I'm still dying to see.
and much more! Check the full list after the break and head to the official website for the schedule, a list of shorts, and to buy tickets!
Cornered (Feature / Horror)
Directed by Daniel Maze
A serial killer is stalking the gritty streets of Los Angeles. It’s all over the news, but that doesn’t stop the crew at a local convenience store from their weekly poker game.
