Saturday Night has quickly become one of the most anticipated movies of the fall season, but has been getting some blowback on how it handles the depiction of Muppets creator Jim Henson. Directed by Jason Reitman, the film chronicles the ninety minutes before the first episode of Saturday Night Live aired. Following a report by Slate regarding Saturday Night's depiction of Jim Henson and The Muppets, various Muppets fans took to social media to express their displeasure with the early reviews for the film.

In Saturday Night, Jim Henson is played by Succession star Nicolas Braun (who also plays Andy Kaufman in the film), is depicted as being a straight-laced member of the Saturday Night Live crew who in the film is treated as a joke, often the source of ridicule, with Henson's collaborator and fellow Muppet innovator Frank Oz being present but never being given a line of dialogue.

After Orphan: First Kill landed William Brent Bell the best reviews of his career, the genre filmmaker has kept the momentum going with another well received film in Lord of Misrule.

Bell has explored a variety of different horror subgenres throughout his career, and he can now cross folk horror off the list. Lord of Misrule chronicles a vicar named Rebecca Holland (Tuppence Middleton), whose daughter (Evie Templeton) goes missing during her quaint English village’s harvest festival. Rebecca then stops at nothing to find her missing child, and all roads lead her to Ralph Ineson’s Jocelyn Abney, who has a keen insight into the town’s disturbing folklore.

Oddly enough, Ineson’s role was written to be a middle-aged woman, but Bell floated the idea of Ineson reinterpreting the character through performance, as opposed to rewriting.

“You wouldn’t know it by looking at him in the movie...

“Familiar” is one of those descriptors critics can twist into a positive or negative connotation. William Brent Bell’s folkloric Lord of Misrule basks in culty Pagan familiarity but not as cheap mimicry. If you’ve seen The Wicker Man, The Ritual, Kill List — I’ll spare you thirty more titles — you won’t be stricken dumbstruck by writer Tom de Ville’s ode to harvest rituals and wretched traditions. Bell’s not rewriting the book on insidious celebrations beneath all the synchronized dances and laughter, and yet, Lord of Misrule is an undeniably atmospheric venture into villages of the damned.

Tuppence Middleton leads an excellent ensemble as vicar Rebecca Holland, who — along with her family — are newer residents to the hidden settlement of Berrow. Together with her author husband Henry (Matt Stokoe) and 9-year-old daughter Grace (Evie Templeton), they prepare for a yearly autumn festival where Grace will play the role of “Harvest Angel.

Now available in select theaters and VOD, courtesy of Magnet Releasing, we have an exclusive look at Lord of Misrule just for Daily Dead readers!

"Directed by William Brent Bell, Lord Of Misrule follows Rebecca Holland (Tuppence Middleton), who has recently taken over as priest of a small town. When her young daughter Grace (Evie Templeton) goes missing at the local harvest festival, a desperate search begins. The closer they edge towards finding Grace, the more secrets emerge from the town’s dark past. Soon, Rebecca must decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to rescue her daughter from the grip of evil."

Director William Brent Bell (Orphan: First Kill) is back this week with brand new horror movie Lord of Misrule, a folk horror movie starring Tuppence Middleton and Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Green Knight). Magnet Releasing will release Lord of Misrule in theaters and on VOD on December 8, 2023.

Tom de Ville’s (The Quiet Ones) script has been said to echo The Wicker Man and Midsommar. Like The Wicker Man, Lord of Misrule also features original folk horror music, particularly a theme song featured over the end credits. It turns out that the folk song was co-written by Bell himself.

The filmmaker shared the story behind the folk horror tune in a recent chat with Bloody Disgusting (part one here) and also touched upon the mysterious new entity prowling the quaint town at the center of the folk horror nightmare.

Brent Bell explains, “It was always one of the designs of...

Filmmaker William Brent Bell‘s latest, Lord of Misrule, bears all the familiar earmarks of folk horror. A peculiar town with Pagan roots, bonfires, masked denizens reveling in harvest rituals, and a pious Christian at the center, scrambling to make sense of it all. It’s that well-trodden but visually lush path that serves as refreshing misdirection in a new folk horror entry that attempts to keep its audience on their toes to varying degrees of success.

Tuppence Middleton stars as Rebecca Holland, a Christian preacher who’s recently moved to the quaint town of Burrow with husband Henry (Matt Stokoe) and daughter Grace (Evie Templeton). Burrow accepted her with mostly open arms, attending her sermons weekly and demonstrating patience for Rebecca’s wariness over their Fall harvest festival that’s named Grace as the “Harvest Angel.” Just as soon as Grace is revealed to be a bit of a sociopathic animal abuser,...

More than three and a half years have gone by since it was first announced that William Brent Bell – the director of Stay Alive, The Devil Inside, Wer, The Boy, Brahms: The Boy II, Separation, and Orphan: First Kill – would be making a folk horror film called Lord of Misrule.

Cluj, Romania–Alejandro Landes’ “Monos,” a survival thriller about a group of rebels set deep in the jungles of Colombia, won the top prize at the Transilvanian Intl. Film Festival on Saturday, with the jury praising the Sundance player “for its hypnotic power through its minimalist storytelling, committed cast, and unsentimental portrait of young people with guns.”

After a week of heavy rains in Cluj that swept across the cobbled streets of its historic city center and disrupted countless open-air screenings, a palpable air of relief seemed to settle over the red carpet Saturday evening, as guests climbed the steps of the National Theater at twilight accompanied by the strains of a string quartet.

Looking back at a week of screenings that continued the festival’s tradition of pushing the envelope with bold and provocative programming, Tiff artistic director Mihai Chirilov described from the podium the “experiment” behind the official...

Hannibal, Season 3, Episode 5, “Contorno”

Written by Tom de Ville and Bryan Fuller & Steve Lightfoot

Directed by Guillermo Navarro

Airs Thursdays at 10pm (Et) on NBC

In my review of “Aperitivo”, I called for Hannibal to find a sweet spot between the slow-moving introspection of “Secondo” and plot-heavy momentum of “Aperitivo”. “Contorno” does just that, though not in the way expected. The first half of the episode crawls (particularly the scenes with Will and Chiyoh), dragging its feet to prevent the characters from intersecting, before the second half throws this concern out the window and sprints forward, bringing first Pazzi and Hannibal, then Hannibal and Alana, and finally Jack and Hannibal together in memorable and electrifying exchanges. One can almost see showrunner Bryan Fuller reach his limit with angsty, mini-Hannibal Will and decide to chuck him off the train rather than write one more doom-laden conversation between him and Chiyoh.

The Quiet Ones (2014)

Directed by John Pogue

Written by Craig Rosenberg, John Pogue, Oren Moverman and Tom de Ville

Starring: Jared Harris (Professor Joseph Coupland), Sam Claflin (Brian McNeil), Olivia Cooke (Jane Harper), Rory-Fleck Byrne (Harry Abrams) and Erin Richards (Kristina Dalton)

Speaking strictly for myself, I find there are a dearth of quality films that deal predominantly with the supernatural. The last really good offerings of this sub genre in recent years were “Lake Mungo”, “Resolution” and “The Conjuring”. All three were met with general praise although “Lake Mungo” and “Resolution” did not get nearly as much exposure as “The Conjuring” was blessed with. “The Quiet Ones”, released under the newly-resurrected Hammer Horror studios started principal filming back in 2012 and was released two years later. Although the name ‘Hammer Studios’ is not enough to raise hackles of excitement in this day and age,...

.The Quiet Ones,. bearing the mark of Hammer Films, is a scary flick that features the age-old debate between science and the supernatural.

From the producer who brought you The Woman In Black and Let Me In comes the unnerving tale of The Quiet Ones. Tucked away in an estate outside of London, Professor Coupland along with a team of university students conduct an "experiment" on Jane Harper, a young girl who harbors unspeakable secrets. What dark forces they uncover are more terrifying than any of them expected.

The recent resurrection of the historical Hammer Films studio was, of course, cause for much celebration among horror fans around the world. The British production company built a name for itself in horror in the 1960s and it's been great to have them back. (You don't have to bother with The Resident, but Hammer productions Wake Wood, Let Me In, and The Woman in Black are all worthwhile horror films.) The company's latest offering is, at best, a mixed bag. The Quiet Ones aims to combine an effectively creepy story set in 1974 with a bunch of "found footage" footage that serves no real purpose.

The plot is pure, simple Hammer stuff: a dedicated but plainly obsessed university professor (the great Jared Harris) and his two graduate students welcome the arrival of a new cameraman (Sam Claflin) who will document their work. And as poor Brian McNeil quickly discovers, the trio's...

Jane Harper is not the only thing that needs saving in Lionsgate ‘s new 70′s horror film The Quiet Ones.

Inspired by true events, The Quiet Ones tells the story of Professor Joseph Coupland and his team of researchers as they attempt to cure an abandoned foster child named Jane who has been surrounded by strange and alarming behavior her entire life. As their experiments begin to unfold, they recruit a young camera man named Sam to document their findings. What they don’t realize is that they may be dealing with something bigger than mental psychosis. They may be dealing with the supernatural.

Director John Pogue set out to build on the screenplay The Philip Experiment, written by Tom de Ville, and incorporate the fascination of parapsychology and social scientific research of the 50′s, 60′s, and 70′s with a horror film.

There's something more chilling about movies based on true events. Knowing that at least some version of what you're seeing on the screen actually happened in real life makes the movie more powerful.

The Quiet Ones is inspired by a true story of a university experiment done on a young girl that goes horribly, horribly wrong, so we focused on movies based on claims of supernatural true events.

We could even break it down into sub-categories, like movies based on the antics of Ed Gein: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Silence of the Lambs, Psycho and Deranged.

Based on supposedly true events, The Quiet Ones is set in 1974, which is established by the music of Slade frequently blaring out of the radio at regular intervals. After a while it starts to feel like one of those music-based torture methods apparently used at Guantanamo Bay.

The narrative revolves around Professor Coupland's (Jared Harris) dangerous paranormal experiment on troubled girl Jane (Olivia Cooke), for which he enlists the help of three students. The trio is spearheaded by The Hunger Games: Catching Fire...
