Shudder Acquires ‘Parasomnia’, ‘Goody Goody’ and ‘New Group’ Out of Overlook
Shudder went hog wild at this weekend’s Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans, and acquired not one, but three new horror films, Variety reports.
The first is Parasomnia, written and directed by James Ross II, and starring Jasmine Mathews, RJ Brown, Sally Stewart, Stephen Barrington, and Danny Brown.
Parasomnia is about “Riley, a young woman tormented by night terrors and a past of unresolved tragedy. When her best friend is the latest to go missing, she begins to suspect the demonic figure lurking in her sleep has crossed over into the real world.”
Watch the trailer above.
Also acquired by Shudder is Goody Goody, written and directed by Raymond Creamer, and starring Colleen Foy, Samantha Robinson, and Zoe Renee.
In Goody Goody, “Lulled into a necessary sense of comfort during a long home birth process, expecting parents and their midwife begin to realize something may be horribly wrong. A blizzard rages outside, trapping the family in their home as increasingly sinister complications arise.”
“I’m obsessed with ghost stories and folklore so I wanted this project to have a campfire tale or storybook quality to it,” Creamer said in a statement.
Lastly, New Group is written and directed by Yûta Shimotsu (Best Wishes to All) and stars Yuzu Aoki and Pierre Taki.
In the film, “High school student Ai sees her world collapse when a strange cult-like mentality gradually turns people around her into mindless followers who can transform simple gymnastics routines into a nightmarish dance of death.”
All three titles are set to be released by the streamer by the end of the year.
