After Dark Films Announces Two Original Productions

After years of releasing other company's productions, After Dark Films has finally decided to go solo announcing their first two original features, which will both be featured in this year's After Dark Horrofest, which will feature another "8 Films to Die For" this October or November. Read on for details on both productions. What do you guys think about After Dark's latest maneuver?

After Dark Films is producing the first horror films set for its 8 Films to Die For theatrical film series: Faithless and Perkins' 14.

Stewart Hopewell's "Faithless" follows a young woman trying to escape an abusive past by moving to Atlanta, but discovers more cruelty awaits her. Craig Singer's "Perkins' 14," developed from a winning idea by Jeremy Donaldson in a February Massify.com pitch contest, is a killer thriller involving the arrest of a suspected murderer.

Hopewell and Tim Long are co-writing "Faithless," with Chris Milburn, Matthew Kuipers, Aimee Barth and Eryl Cochran Woodlief producing. Lane Shadgett is scripting "Perkins' 14," and winning pitchmeister Donaldson, Milburn and Kuipers will produce.

After Dark's Courtney Solomon, Laura Ivey and Stephanie Caleb will executive produce, with Beau J. Genot as co-producer on both films. The films will be shot consecutively beginning this month in Romania.

Sean Ellis' The Broken was recently announced as another one of the three films to die for. "The Broken" is a psychological horror project, starring Lena Headey as a woman whose life descends into nightmare after she sees an apparent double of herself driving by in her own car.

Finally! I thought they were a film company anyway?

My expectations are very low. Almost everything that's been released under the "After Dark" name has been a massive disappointment to me thus far. But, it should be interesting to see what they can do on their own. But this is the last group of films from this company I'll watch if the quality doesn't improve big time.

The Hamiltons was awesome.

Oh man, these are gonna suuuuuuuuck! hahah. I despised The Hamiltons. I wanted to like it so badly. After Dark has put a few killer movies though. The Abandoned was incredible, Gravedancers was a lot of fun, Borderland was pretty good, Penny Dreadful was alright till the ending, Unrest was ok. Think that's it for positive things to say. Lake Dead was so terrible that it ended up being fun accidentally.

Oh god, do I have to sit through 8 more of these films to see which on is actually worth watching all the way through? Thank the power that be for Netflix or else I'd never watch those disasters.

first of all frontiers was freakin amazing and defiently one of the best horror movies ever, though its not 8 films to die for its afterdark, borderland was really good, tooth and nail was alot of fun though the ending was a little weak, mulberry st was bad and fun at the same time, the hamiltons was slow but cool, and penny dreadful was decent, the rest sucked big time, and these 3 new ones dont sound that great but ill wait to judge them until there is more info

And Mulberry St. That one was good too (knew I was forgetting one). Other than that... not much hope. I heard Tooth and Nail was a fuckin disaster, and after the trailer I knew I wasn't seeing it. Was Reincarnation any good?

Seriously though, if you guys haven't seen The Abandoned you really should check it out. Doesn't fit with the others at all. Very classy, creepy and the ending is insane.

I remember watching the pitch video on massify for Perkin's 14. It looked so sick. If memory serves the guy kidnaps people, brainwashes them, then has them do the killing for him.

Ahh...Horrorfest. It really is a bunch of films that have their great moments - but aren't really great movies. What they should do instead is tweak these almost great movies to make them great.

I thought that last year's second After Dark Horror Fest was a real step down from their first year. The only flix I really enjoyed from the 2nd fest were Mulberry St., The Deaths of Ian Stone and Borderland. Whereas, I enjoyed -- to varying degrees -- all the films from their 1st fest, *except* The Hamiltons. I'm really hoping they get things right the 3rd time around; I think the whole event's a good idea, but they really need to work the bugs out.

I can't wait to see THE BROKEN!

askblackie...that is probably the funniest comment I have ever read in my entire life. But I'm sory...Mulberry Street sucked.

I can't believe no one really liked Horrorfest!!! Personally, I loved ALL of the films except the highly overrated "The Deaths of Ian Stone" because it fell apart when the CGI scenes were introduced. No horror film should have to rely on low-budget CGI for scares. That film would have been much better if it stuck to a simpler story or just used creative camera work for the stunts. Aside from that all of the other films hit the spot. They all accomplished what they set out to do and I think some people just expected more. These were 8 low budget horror films that normally would never have ran in a theater. But one company finally has the balls to release THEM ALL for the horror fans in theaters. This is something you all should be rejoicing A LOT MORE! Even if you didn't LOVE all of the films, as horror fans you should continue to go and show your support for hardcore horror films. If you want more good horror movies to actually play in theaters then you need to show some love foe these ones currently paving the way...

Face it...besides maybe 2 of the 1st horrorfest were good...the rest sucked a monkey's cock
