Another Horror Film on the Cannes Slate: The Power

By Uncle Creepy
May 12th, 2011

Along with the news that Moviehouse Entertainment successfully nailed down US distribution for its UK vampire flick Dead Cert, Screen Daily is reporting that the sales outfit is also promoting another upcoming horror film at the 2011 Cannes film market - The Power, which is in pre-production and will be in the same vein as the classic Rosemary's Baby.

Synopsis:
Abducted and imprisoned by a cult, Magda awakens in a filthy cell. Despite hearing distant voices, her screams for help go unanswered. She's a prisoner, seemingly without hope... In time, she befriends another hostage, a girl who provides some comfort. However, as the weeks pass, the cult prepares Magda for participation in a dark ritual with demonic, religious and sexual overtones; and her despair grows. Her only hope is she'll be rescued or find some way to escape, but in the meantime must face an horrific and terrifying ordeal.

Dig on some early sales art from this flick directed by Paul Hills and produced by Mark Forstater with cast members to be named soon, and look for more in the coming weeks!

There's only one thing better ... sexy Asian vampires, and that's exactly what we're gonna get from Phil Condit's Empress Vampire (Huang Hou Xi Xue Gui)!
