When I caught Russian musician-cum-director Pavel Khvaleev’s III back in 2014 at the Fant Bilbao Festival, considering the film’s absolutely stainless high concept visuals that put most Hollywood blockbusters to shame, I was totally taken aback when the helmer told me he’d… Continue Reading →

Lionsgate has revealed two new clips from The Last Witch Hunter ahead of its release on October 23rd. Also in this morning's round-up: details on the New York City Horror Film Festival and the Colorado Horror Convention, as well as information on how to watch The Walking Dead online and release details for Eli Morgan Gesner's Condemned.
The Last Witch Hunter: "The modern world holds many secrets, but the most astounding secret of all is that witches still live amongst us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world. Armies of witch hunters battled the unnatural enemy across the globe for centuries, including Kaulder, a valiant warrior who managed to slay the all-powerful Queen Witch, decimating her followers in the process. In the moments right before her death, the Queen curses Kaulder with her own immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife.

Stars: Polina Davydova, Lyubov Ignatushko, Evgeniy Gagarin | Written by Aleksandra Khvaleeva | Directed by Pavel Khvaleev
III is the second feature film by Russian director Pavel Khvaleev. Khvaleev is also a member of the trance act Moonbeam and the aesthetic of the film holds true to this background, at times reminiscent of some high-concept music video. This is a compliment.
III opens with a disturbing sequence in which we see man slowly headbutting himself to death against a wall. It’s simple and very eerie. After a short series of events following this, we are introduced to two sisters, Ayia (Polina Davydova) and Mirra (Lyubov Ignatushko), living in an unspecified time in an unspecified European town. A sickness is plaguing their hometown and their mother succumbs to it. Shortly afterwards, Mirra falls ill too. In desperation, Ayia turns to Father Herman (Evgeniy Gagarin) who after giving up on prayer, offers some rather more supernatural aid.
