INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER - Out now on Digital

 Now the door opens both ways. In the chilling continuation of the influential horror franchise that helped redefine modern supernatural horror, INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER turns its most terrifying rule inside out.

 

Gemma (Amelia Eve) has spent her life inside the walls she grew up in, raising her young daughter in the same rooms that shaped her. When she discovers she can slip into The Further, the purgatorial realm of lost souls at the heart of the Insidious universe, she believes she's found a way to protect her family from whatever is hunting them. Instead, she finds something far more dangerous: the ability to pull The Further's inhabitants out with her. 

Once the demons understand what Gemma can do, the barrier that has always kept them contained stops being a wall and becomes a door. And Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) knows better than anyone what happens when that door is left open. 

Synopsis
In INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER, Amelia Eve stars as Gemma, a young mother raising her daughter in the house she grew up in who discovers she can travel into The Further, the purgatorial realm of lost souls at the heart of the Insidious universe.

Once the demons realize her power, our world becomes their playground.

From the producers of cult hits Dog Soldiers & Terrifier 3, DEAD HOWLING stars an incredible cast including Joel Jackson (Jungle), Ryan Kwanten (True Blood, Dead Silence), Temuera Morrison (The Mandalorian, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom), and Tom Burlinson (The Man From Snowy River, Flesh+Blood).

Hammer Films announces the return of DRACULA to the big screen

The time is nigh…After more than six decades, the Count returns looking better than ever in the cut the censors tried to bury. DRACULA, Hammer’s definitive horror classic, now restored in stunning 4K will be released in cinemas from 16th October.

Featuring material previously seen only during the film’s original Japanese theatrical run, DRACULA has been painstakingly restored by Hammer Films and Silver Salt Restoration in partnership with Warner Bros.

This October’s release in over 100 cinemas across the UK will offer audiences the chance to experience Christopher Lee’s unforgettable portrayal of Count Dracula and Peter Cushing’s iconic Van Helsing in stunning new detail, complete with a brand new 5.1 surround sound mix and an exclusive look behind the scenes at this landmark restoration.

A list of the sites playing the film is available HERE 

Hammer Films changed horror cinema forever as Christopher Lee’s unmistakable profile loomed at the top of a dark staircase before declaring, “I am Dracula”. Lee’s performance redefined the vampire on screen for generations, introducing the bloodshot eyes, predatory fangs and visceral physicality that became the blueprint for modern vampire mythology and whose influence can still be seen across horror cinema today.
 
Hammer’s DRACULA marked only the second on-screen pairing of legendary horror icons Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, further establishing one of the most celebrated rivalries in cinema history. Opposite Lee’s commanding and terrifying Count Dracula, Cushing delivered what remains widely regarded as the definitive classic screen portrayal of Professor Van Helsing, a fearless, intelligent and relentlessly driven vampire hunter. Upon its original 1958 release, the film’s intense violence, heightened sensuality and striking use of colour proved so provocative that it was deemed too shocking for audiences.

This distinctive blend of gothic storytelling, bold visual style, vivid colour, practical effects and atmospheric sound would go on to define what audiences would come to expect from a Hammer horror.

Written by Jimmy Sangster, directed by Terence Fisher, scored by James Bernard, with production design by Bernard Robinson, and effects and matte paintings by Les Bowie, Dracula is a convergence of Hammer’s key creative talents, effectively cementing the studio’s iconic gothic style.
 
DRACULA returns to cinemas in a new 4K restoration.

Experience it on the big screen like never before, in select UK cinemas from 16th October.
