[Exclusive] ‘The Heretics’ Are Coming Home With a Blu-Ray/DVD Release
After taking their most recent feature film – The Heretics – on an international festival circuit tour, Black Fawn Distrubution are ready to bring it home. They’ve just announced they’ll be teaming up with A71 Entertainment for a Blu-Ray/DVD home video release.
Black Fawn Films have quickly become a staple in the Canadian and international horror community. With a track record of indie genre hits like The Sublet, Bite, Antisocial, The Drownsman, Let Her Out, and Bed of the Dead, their resume is padded with films that branch out from the formulaic standard.
Directed by Chad Archibald (Bite, The Drownsman) from a script written by Jayme Laforest (Bite), The Heretics stars Nina Kiri, Jorja Cadence, Ry Barrett, Nina Richmond and Will King, and was produced by Black Fawn Films and Breakthrough Entertainment.
The synopsis is as follows:
Part body-horror and part cabin-in-the-woods thriller, The Heretics adds to Archibald’s legacy of well crafted horror films featuring tightly wound tension and practical special effects.
“We travelled to festivals all over the world with The Heretics and we couldn’t be more excited to bring this film home this September,” says director Chad Archibald. “We’ve got a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack locked and loaded with special features specially designed by the creative teams at Black Fawn Distribution and A71.”
The Blu-Ray/DVD release will feature the standard Director and Producer commentary as well as special behind-the-scenes featurettes.
As a bonus option (part of the home video release), Black Fawn Distribution will also be offering an exclusive “The Heretics Blacklist Package” which will include signed copies of the film on Blu-Ray/DVD, mini lobby cards, on screen props from the film, cast autographs, a “Summon Your Own Demon” kit and more.
If you’re as curious as I am about that “Summon Your Own Demon” kit, you can pre-order your package directly through Black Fawn Distribution (note: prices are listed in Canadian dollars).
The guys over at Black Fawn Films have been keeping busy with their newest feature film (currently in post-production) titled I’ll Take Your Dead and a TV project in development called The Cleaners.
The Heretics will be available on Blu-Ray and DVD on September 18, 2018. You can find the trailer and Blu-Ray/DVD cover art below.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power
Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.
Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.
Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.
There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.
The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed
Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.
This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.
The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.
The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.
Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.
Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
