Time-Loop Horror Manor of Darkness Sets December Digital Release

Posted on by

manor-of-darknessThe indie horror film Manor of Darkness will arrive on U.S. digital platforms on December 9. Directed by Blake Ridder and produced by Ridder Films in association with Lucas A. Ferrara, the feature blends supernatural mystery with a repeating-day structure.

The film follows Laura, who reconnects with her estranged brother for a last-ditch plan to steal a rumored artifact from a secluded English manor. Posing as a documentary crew, the group gains access to the estate and meets the reclusive owner, whose stories hint at a troubled past. After breaking open a sealed chest in the basement, the crew becomes trapped in a time loop as an unseen force begins to tighten its grip.

Only Laura remembers each reset, pushing her toward the truth behind the manor’s curse as the group relives escalating variations of the same day.

Ridder, who also appears in the film, describes the project as an exploration of psychological repetition and dread rather than straightforward scares. Producer Lucas A. Ferrara calls the film a tension-driven “meta-horror” that plays with the anxieties inherent in filmmaking and ambition.

Manor of Darkness stars Sarah Alexandra Marks, Kim Lysette Spearman, Louis James, Blake Ridder, and Stuart Wolfe Murray. The film will be available through Amazon, Google Play, and YouTube Movies.

Short Documentary The Hemingway Offers an Unfiltered Look at Life With ALS

Posted on by

hemingwayA new short documentary titled The Hemingway is drawing attention on the festival circuit for its candid, darkly humorous portrayal of life with ALS. The nine-minute film centers on Patrick Sean O’Brien, who lives with near-total paralysis but maintains an active, sharply observant internal monologue.

The film uses Patrick’s private thoughts as a narrative device, contrasting the difficult physical realities of ALS with his blunt, often funny inner commentary on daily routines, relationships, and moments of vulnerability. The result is a portrait that blends honesty and irreverence, avoiding sentimentality while highlighting the emotional complexities of the disease.

The Hemingway features O’Brien alongside J.R. Reed, Scott Murphy, Rose Julien, and Paula Mackael. It was written by O’Brien, directed by O’Brien and Evan Mathis, and edited by Doug Pray.

O’Brien, known for the autobiographical documentary TransFatty Lives, continues to create work despite living with advanced ALS, while Mathis brings a background in Emmy-winning creative direction.

The Hemingway is currently screening at festivals worldwide.

Atlas Entertainment, Ghost Machine Developing ‘Redcoat’ Feature Film

Posted on by

RedcoatAtlas Entertainment and creator-owned label Ghost Machine are moving forward with a feature adaptation of Redcoat, the Image Comics series from Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch.

The film will be written by Johns, based on a story by Johns and Hitch, with Charles Roven and Alex Gartner producing for Atlas. The project marks a continued expansion of Ghost Machine’s original universes beyond comics.

Launched in April 2024, Redcoat became an immediate top seller for Image Comics/Ghost Machine.

The tone blends historical action and supernatural adventure in the vein of Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Roven, who has previously worked with Johns on multiple DC projects, called Redcoat “innovative comic material” with franchise potential. Ghost Machine, founded in 2023, has quickly built a slate of creator-owned titles, including Geiger, Rook: Exodus, and Hyde Street, and has sold millions of comics since its launch.

Collected editions of Redcoat Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 are currently available, with a deluxe hardcover edition set for release in April 2026.
