Horror Queen Ayvianna Snow Stars in Two Spine-Chilling New Films: RUMPLESTILTSKIN & ST. PATRICK'S DAY MASSACRE

Ayvianna Snow, an actor hailed as the "British Queen of Horror", is making waves with two thrilling new films set to send shivers down the spines of horror fans this spring.

RUMPLESTILTSKIN tells the story of one of the scariest childhood villains—and this time, the haunting tale gets even darker. 

A young woman makes a deal she comes to regret with a mysterious creature and must now save her first-born child from his evil clutches. Ayvianna plays the seductive yet deadly role of a Succubus, luring unsuspecting men to their fiery fate.

Director Andy Edwards said, “This is the second time I've worked with Ayvianna on a film, and as soon as I'd written the character, I knew she'd be perfect for it.”

In ST. PATRICK'S DAY MASSACRE, directed by Steve Lawson, Ayvianna plays the role of Kendra, one of a group of college friends tricked into spending the night in a creepy Irish tavern, where the corridors are stalked by a vengeful undead killer. 

 

With an obsession for cleanliness that borders on the compulsive, will Kendra's decision to take a shower be her final mistake and summon the prowling killer?

Ayvianna says, “Horror films can tap into a very raw, primal part of us as human beings—fear is one of the most visceral emotions. Horror hits parts of us that other genres cannot reach.”

Ayvianna Snow has built a reputation for her compelling performances in the horror genre and continues to cement her place as one of the most exciting talents in the UK independent horror scene.

Horror channel NYX UK celebrates the birthdays of Lon Chaney and Lamberto Bava amongst slate of April premieres

NYX UK celebrates the birthdays of two iconic figures in the horror genre. On Tuesday 1 April, the channel honours Lon Chaney, the legendary "Man of a Thousand Faces", with screenings of Tod Browning’s THE UNKNOWN (1927) at 9pm, followed at 10.15pm by THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1923), in which he plays a heart-breaking ‘Quasimodo’ - a perfect tribute to his unparalleled contributions to silent horror cinema.

Then on Thursday 3 April,  NYX UK celebrates the legacy of Italian horror maestro Lamberto Bava with a double-bill  of his most gore-soaked, high-energy horror spectacles – DEMONS (9pm) and DEMONS 2 (11pm). Produced by the legendary Dario Argento, they blend supernatural terror with neon-drenched 80s excess, creating some of the most stylish and chaotic zombie-like horror ever put to film.

 

Horror series DARK REWIND continues its 9pm popular run with two April channel premieres. On April 8, host August Kyss takes viewers back to 1980 to revisit the meaty cult horror-comedy MOTEL HELL, and then on April 22, she invites us back to 1983 for a deep dive into THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW, a slasher gem drenched in sorority drama, deadly secrets, and classic 80s horror vibes.

 

Another horror series enjoying a successful run is GALVASTON’S CAVERN OF CREEPS, which streams on Thursday nights at 9pm. This month  our favourite underworld exile Galveston and his clueless mortal roommate Jack tackle two Channel premieres - Jacques Tourneur’s 1957 supernatural classic NIGHT OF THE DEMON (a.k.a. Curse of the Demon) and Joseph Green’s 1962 sci-fi horror THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE.

There are two other Channel premieres this month - Anders Banke's multi-award winning vampire horror FROSTBITE (Frostbitten, 2006), which plays on Thurs 10 April, 9pm, and HANSEL & GRETAL GET BAKED (2013), a horror meets stoner comedy that puts a darkly humorous, twist on the classic fairy tale. Viewers can catch this at 9pm, Sun 20 April

Other gruesome 9pm delights include Renaud Gauthier’s Canadian slasher DISCOPATHE, (Fri 11 April), Scottish werewolf thriller WILD COUNTRY, starring Peter Capaldi and Martin Compston (Thurs 17 April), Israel’s first slasher film RABIES (Thurs 24 April), GRIMM LOVE (Fri 25 April), a psychological horror film inspired by the Armin Meiwes cannibal murder case, and TENEBRAE, one of Dario Argent’s Giallo masterpieces, which screens on Sun 26 April.

Nordic body-horror THE UGLY STEPSISTER - Coming to UK & US cinemas April

Vertigo Releasing, in association with Shudder and IFC Films, has confirmed the UK and US release date of the stomach-churning Norwegian body-horror THE UGLY STEPSISTER. 

The film will be hitting US cinemas on 18th April and UK cinemas on 25th April.

Written and directed by Emilie Blichfeldt, (feature-length directorial debut), The Ugly Stepsister introduces Lea Myren, and also stars Thea Sofie Loch Næss (The Last Kingdom) and Ane Dahl Torp (The Wave).

Classic fairy tales are known to be far more sinister than their more well known animated interpretations, and Emilie Blichfeldt's THE UGLY STEPSISTER certainly promises to swing the pendulum back towards the grisly. 

A homage to Charles Perrault's Cinderella, THE UGLY STEPSISTER is a dark and gruesome adaptation of the classic story where you truly find out exactly how much pain beauty is.

Elvira (Lea Myren) has one all-consuming obsession: to win the affection of her kingdom’s handsome prince and live happily ever after. Yet, she lives in the shadow of her beautiful stepsister, Agnes (Thea Sofie Loch Næss), who seems fated for the happy ending she’s always dreamed of. But, in a kingdom where beauty is prized above all things, Elvira will get what she wants, no matter what…

David Pareja (Amigo) and Estefanía de los Santos (Jaulas) give gobsmackingly brilliant performances as Jesus and María, a couple going through a tough time in their relationship, following the recent arrival of their newborn son. The fiery pair are struggling with the pressures that a new baby brings and their bickering only amplifies on a shopping trip to buy furniture that’s about to change their lives forever.

What begins as a simple disagreement over which coffee table to buy quickly descends into a shocking and tragic event that will rip their lives apart.

The film, co-starring Josep Maria Riera, Claudia Riera and Eduardo Antuña promises an excruciatingly uncomfortable and harrowing experience, with a darker-than-dark sense of humour.

THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN - On Limited Edition 4K UHD

Before he created Westworld and Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton first blurred the line between science fiction and science fact with his breakout success The Andromeda Strain. Two years after the novel’s publication, Robert Wise (The Haunting) directed the film adaptation, a nail-biting blend of clinically-realised docudrama and astonishing sci-fi visuals that ushered in a new subgenre: the “killer virus” biological thriller.

A government satellite crashes outside a small town in New Mexico – and within minutes, every inhabitant of the town is dead, except for a crying baby and an elderly derelict. The satellite and the two survivors are sent to Wildfire, a top-secret underground laboratory equipped with a nuclear self-destruct mechanism to prevent the spread of infection in case of an outbreak.

Realising that the satellite brought back a lethal organism from another world, a team of government scientists race against the clock to understand the extraterrestrial virus – codenamed “Andromeda” – before it can wipe out all life on the planet.

Aided by innovative visual effects by Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey; Silent Running) and an unforgettable avant-garde electronic music score by Gil Mellé (The Sentinel), Wise’s suspense classic still haunts to this day, and is presented here in a stunning 4K restoration from the original negative.

STEPPENWOLF - On Limited Edition Blu-ray

A brutal story of an unlikely duo who will stop at nothing to find what they are looking for, Adilkhan Yerzhanov’s award-winning film Steppenwolf is “a nihilistic, hyper-violent redemption tale filled with social commentary” (Molly Henery, The Blogging Banshee) and “a must-see for fans of ultra-violent, vicious and unforgiving revenge films” (Gary Gamble, Moviehooker).

Tamara (Anna Starchenko), a young lady consumed by trauma, searches for her missing son, Timka, in a small town dominated by riots and violence. In a desperate attempt to get him back, she teams up with an amoral former police investigator (Berik Aitzhanov) whose methods prove to be frequently cruel and sadistic. Quietly determined, Tamara decides to complete the mission with the nihilistic detective, no matter the cost, as the pair embark on a bloody and bullet-riddled road trip in their combined search for salvation.

Winner of the Golden Raven Grand Prix at the 2024 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and the Outstanding Performance Award for both Anna Starchenko and Berik Aitzhanov at the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival, Steppenwolf is the latest film from acclaimed director Adilkhan Yerzhanov (Cannes-selected The Gentle Indifference of the World and Venice-selected Goliath) and Oscar-nominated producer Alexander Rodnyansky (Leviathan).

Horror channel NYX UK celebrates International Women's Day and Cronenberg's Birthday

NYX UK celebrates International Women’s Day on Saturday March 8, 9pm, with a Channel premiere screening of Devanny Pinn’s THE BLACK MASS, which takes a harrowing deep dive into the 1978 sorority house attacks committed by serial killer Ted Bundy. Pinn creates a bold and unflinching examination of real-world horror from the POV of the victims.

 
THE BLACK MASS

This is supported by the UK TV premiere of Luna Wolf’s powerful short film SIREN, which follows at 10.45pm. The film explores themes of identity and trauma, immersing the audience in a psychological horror journey through the human psyche.

 
RABID

On Saturday March 15, NYX UK also celebrates the birthday of the master of body horror David Cronenberg. This special tribute features SHIVERS (9pm) and RABID (11pm), two of his early films that helped define his signature style. Both films challenge conventional horror tropes by merging scientific advancements with nightmarish consequences, solidifying Cronenberg’s place as a visionary in the genre. His work remains as relevant and disturbing today as it was upon release.

 
NOSFERATU

Also celebrated, on Tues March 4, 9pm, is the 102nd birthday of NOSFERATU. This classic 1922 silent horror film, an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, has become an iconic symbol of early cinema and spawned several remakes, including an Oscar-nominated 2024 version directed by Robert Eggers

NYX welcomes a new cult horror series onto the channel: THE CHAINSAW SALLY SHOW, a blood-soaked, grindhouse cult web series that stars April Burril as the iconic Sally, a small-town librarian by day and a relentless, chainsaw-wielding vigilante by night.  The first series of ten episodes will premiere on Fri March 7, 11.30pm.

Two other NYX UK horror series consolidate their popular runs. Thursday nights at 7pm sees the continuation of GALVASTON’S CAVERN OF CREEPS, hosted by snarky demon Galvaston. Season One continues with the Channel premieres of Jacques Tourneur’s NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1957) and Peter Weir’s directorial debut CARS THAT ATE PARIS (1974)

Then, on Tuesday nights at 9pm, we have the continuation of DARK REWIND, where August Kyss, a charismatic and quirky host, dives into classic 80s horror films from the comfort of her neon-lit bedroom. Season One continues with the Channel Premieres of tech-horror CHOPPING MALL (1986) and Canadian supernational slasher INCUBUS (1982).

There are six other Channel premieres this month, including Diego Cohen's 2015 Mexican obsession horror HONEYMOON (Thurs March 20, 9pm) and psychological horror tale DREAD, adapted by writer/director Anthony DiBlasi from the Clive Barker novella in ‘Books of Blood Volume II’, which screens on Fri March 21, 9pm

Other devilish delights include 70s Gothic vampire favourite COUNT YORGA VAMPIRE (Mon March 3, 9pm), GNAW (Thurs March 6, 9pm), where Saw meets Hostel, THE BLOODY JUDGE, starring Christopher Lee (Mon March 10, 9pm), and indie vampire tale MIDNIGHT SON (Thurs March 13, 9pm).
