April 28,2020, Harrisville, Rhode Island-The world is on lockdown.  Most everyone is sheltering in place, left with no fresh content to watch and dying of boredom.  Now, imagine being locked down, essentially trapped, in the WORLD’S MOST HAUNTED HOUSE... just you and your company-all the dead people! 

While many of us revel in the perks of an extended staycation, one family’s quarantine situation is almost unthinkable, and they want to give you a front row seat to see what their terrifying lives are like in the real-life Conjuring House. From May 9 to May 16, The Dark Zone Network proudly presents a 24-7 interactive livestreaming event like no other, entitled “The House.” “The House“ is a week-long immersive experience documenting the daily lives of Corey and Jennifer Heinzen, the current residents of the notorious haunted house made famous by the hit film, “TheConjuring;” which chronicled the experiences of the house’s former residents, The Perron family.  A little over a year ago the Heinzens moved into the house thinking they could handle whatever came their way; after all, they are paranormal investigators themselves.  Almost immediately after the family moved in, paranormal activity reached a fevered pitch, and now they need your help to figure ou twhat lurks in the house with them. 

The ominous abode will be rigged with multiple cameras so the audience will have a completely immersive experience.  The Heinzens will conduct paranormal investigations, seances, Ouija board sessions and invite some of the most well-known and respected luminaries in the paranormal community to pop in remotely and share their most bone chilling experiences from the house. 

The House offers a global broadcast which gives audiences all over the world the opportunity to interact with the Heinzen family in real time, and act as remote ghosthunters.  While the feed runs 24 hours a day, viewers will bea ble to look for strange anomalies, and can report directly to the family as they spot potential evidence. 

“The House” can be viewed exclusively on the world’s first and only paranormal themed OTT platform, The Dark Zone Network (thedarkzone.tv).  The Dark Zone Network is a one stop shop for all things paranormal.  In addition to being the premiere hub for paranormal themed content, it’s also a community where enthusiasts from all over theworld can congregate, share evidence, and broadcast their own content as well.  “The House” is an event you won’t want to miss.  To view a 24-hour session of the broadcast will cost $4.99, while $19.99 will get you full access to the entire week.  A portion of the proceeds will be donated to COVID related charities.  There will be a free live preview May 8th at 8pm ET.  Discounted advanced tickets will be available May 1st. 

​ During these difficult times it’s important to stay connected and “The House” will give viewers an opportunity to help the Heinzen family get through the lockdown in one piece.  Remember, we’re all in this together.  For more information and to watch “The House” Live, please visit http://www.thedarkzone.tv.

Stapp's "Survivor" - not all heroes wear capes in visualizer video

SCOTT STAPP's PROVOCATIVE “SURVIVOR” VISUALIZER
 
Exclusive Debut with Loudwire as the Fighter’s Anthem Rises at Radio
 
(Nashville TN – April 22, 2020) – Grammy-winning songwriter, solo artist, and voice of Creed, Scott Stapp has released a provocative, timely visualizer for new single, “Survivor.” It debuted today with Loudwire, who wrote that it showcases “notable forms of protest and imagery of those who have exemplified great bravery in overcoming personal tragedy and health issues.” The visualizer takes the place of a live-action video, which was cancelled to observe social distancing recommendations. ​
“Survivor,” went to radio in early April as the follow up to Scott’s highest-charting single since 2005 (“Purpose For Pain”). In its first week, “Survivor,” was the most-added song in America, with over 40 stations adding it to rotation and featured on SIRIUS’ Octane channel. By its 2nd week, the song cracked the Top 40 and was added to Spotify’s Adrenaline Workout and Heavy Gamer playlists. 

The song is a fighter’s anthem that reflects the mentality Scott summoned when losing hope in his personal battles. It is a positive affirmation, a bold statement of faith, powerfully delivered.

“‘Survivor' is about a mindset when facing adversity,” says Scott. “Holding on to faith, positive affirmation, self-realization, speaking and believing things into reality are all elements of this mentality. It’s a mindset that helps give you strength to keep fighting, enduring, and maintaining the courage to continue to fight to make it to the other side, to overcome, to win, to survive."

The video uses imagery both personal and universal – Scott in a storm of shattered glass; an impoverished child representing the work of ChildFund International, for whom he is a spokesperson; survivors of cancer, sexual abuse, trafficking, and racial discrimination; survivors of war, the plight of the immigrant, and homeless individuals willing to work to overcome their misfortune are all referenced. In a poignant moment, a masked citizen and the definition of “survivor” appears - “remains alive or lives through an affliction.” 

Throughout the video, a muscular, caped “hero” juxtaposed amongst the imagery is a reminder that not all heroes wear capes. “All survivors are heroes,” Scott said. “If you’re working each day to overcome, through the sheer force of faith, will, and strength, you’re a survivor.” 
Scott’s faith, a defining aspect of his sobriety and a frequent concept in his songwriting, provides some of the strongest rally cries, “I stand here, baptized by the fire, a survivor” and “alive, ‘cause I believed.” 

It's no mystery what demons and struggles Scott is shouting at with, “you messed with a fighter,” and “how ya like me know?!” but listeners will think of their own as they apply the song to the most daily of obstacles as well as life’s more complex challenges. 

“Purpose For Pain,” “Name” & “Survivor” from Scott’s 1st album in 6 years, The Space Between The Shadows have entered the Billboard Rock Top 40 chart since the album was released last July. The album itself debuted in the Top 3 and Top 10 of rock and album charts in the US and UK. Listen to The Space Between The Shadows here.

ZOMBI CHILD Arrives to Home Entertainment Platforms Following its
Theatrical Release in 100+ Markets; the DVD Includes Audio Commentary by Director Bertrand Bonello and the Bonus Short Film "Child of the Sky"
ZOMBI CHILD Official U.S. Trailer
 
SYNOPSIS
 
ZOMBI CHILD, from director Bertrand Bonello (Nocturama, Saint Laurent) injects history and politics into an unconventional cross-genre film. Opening in 1962 Haiti, the horror-fantasy follows the real-life story of Clairvius Narcisse (Mackenson Bijou), who falls dead on the street but is soon turned into a "zombi" when he is dug up from his grave and forced to work on a sugar-cane plantation. Shifting to present-day Paris at the Légion d'honneur boarding school, a rebellious teen named Fanny (Louise Labèque) befriends Melissa (Wislanda Louimat), who moved to France when her parents died in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. After recruiting her into a secret literary sorority, Fanny learns of Melissa's connection to Clairvius, and becomes obsessed with her new friend's past and culture, soon doing the unthinkable: seeking out her voodoo mambo aunt to solve her recent heartbreak. Jonathan Romney of Screen Daily said, "Mixing political commentary, ethnography, teenage melodrama and genre horror, the film is an unashamedly cerebral study of multiple themes...taking us on a journey that's as intellectually demanding as it is compelling".
 
An Official Selection at Cannes, Toronto and New York Film Festivals, winner of the Online Film Critics Society Special Achievement Award for "Best Non-U.S. Release" and nominated for the Queer Palm at Cannes, ZOMBI CHILD captivated audiences and critics alike. Jake Tropilla of Film Inquiry penned, "few directors have been able to keep their vision fresh and excitingly varied through a multitude of unique projects, and Zombi Child, an eerie yet beautiful tale of coming-of-age and vodou, is no exception." Justin Chang of The Los Angeles Times called the film "beguiling... pleasurably moody and politically barbed" and of the director wrote that "Bonello is always thought-provoking." A.A. Dowd of The AV Club said, "what it has going for it is Bonello's typically seductive craftsmanship -- his way with a suggestive cut or a perfect needle drop. I knew from the prologue, a stretch of hypnotically wordless visual storytelling, that I was back in the hands of a filmmaker who'd make the journey worth taking." And Roger Moore of Roger's Movie Nation wrote, "if you see one zombie movie this year, here's the one to catch."

"A cinematic punch in the face"
-- Horror Channel
 
VIOLENT THRILLS MEETS BLOODY REVENGE IN THE 
TAUT, GRITTY AND ACCLAIMED THRILLER
A GOOD WOMAN IS HARD TO FIND
STARRING SARAH BOLGER AND DIRECTED 
BY ABNER PASTOLL
AVAILABLE ON DEMAND & DIGITAL 
ON MAY 8, 2020


A Good Woman Is Hard to Find Official US Trailer
 
"A Good Woman Is Hard to Find has the perfect marriage of a director who
knows how to generate suspense and an actress capable of delivering a
knockout, three-dimensional performance."
Mike McGranaghan, Aisle Seat
 
"A Good Woman Is Hard to Find is an extremely harrowing, tense movie that has such an unbelievably satisfying payoff.... I'd say that writer Ronan Blaney and director Abner Pastoll have a winner on their hands"
-- Lorry Kikta, Film Threat
 
"An intense tale of crime and retribution...Sarah Bolger gives a remarkable performance as a young widow whose home is invaded by violent crime in this refreshingly astute gangster thriller."
-- Kim Newman, Sight and Sound
 
"Director Abner Pastoll made a great first impression with his 2015 debut feature Road Games...For his sophomore film, Pastoll trades the rural France setting and the Hitchcockian vibes for a Park Chan Wook-esque thriller and the gritty realism of urban Ireland in A Good Woman Is Hard To Find. The result is a kitchen sink drama, a pulpy crime movie, and a bloody revenge tale all held together by one hell of a performance... A Good Woman Is Hard To Find is a lean, mean, painfully real crime thriller that will make you cheer for Sarah and her ability to overcome the worst of humanity
and come out the other end kicking all sorts of ass."
-- Rafael Motamayor, Slashfilm
 
SYNOPSIS
 
Set in the underbelly of Northern Ireland, A GOOD WOMAN IS HARD TO FIND follows Sarah (Sarah Bolger,
​ "Mayans M.C.," The Spiderwick Chronicles, 
Emelie),
struggling as a single mother, desperate to discover who brutally murdered her husband in front of her young son, Ben (Rudy Doherty), rendering him mute. Dismissing the crime as thugs killing each other, the police haven't done a thing to help, and Sarah's very much on edge. One day, after being coerced into helping a low-life drug dealer (Andrew Simpson,

Notes on a Scandal) stash narcotics stolen from the neighborhood kingpin (Edward Hogg, White Lightnin), she's forced into taking drastic action to protect her children, evolving from downtrodden submissive to take-charge vigilante.
 
Following its UK premiere at FrightFest, where it captured five awards including "Best Film" and "Best Actor," and its US
Premiere at L.A.'s
 Screamfest, where Bolger won "Best Actress," A GOOD WOMAN IS HARD TO FIND,
a dynamic thriller, with its finger firmly on the pulse of stark social commentary and shattering suspense, has become an audience and critical favorite on the festival circuit. Michael Gingold of Rue Morgue Magazine writes, "Well-crafted on every level, A Good Woman is Hard to Find works above all because of how attuned it is to its people....

And if you want to find one of the very best performances by a woman on the recent genre scene, you need look no further." Christopher Webster of Screen Anarchy also says, "With a story that doesn't feel engineered or preachy, but rather grounded in its view of the everyday struggles of women or single mothers in the UK, A Good Woman is Hard to Find feels timely and unnerving while also embracing its genre roots. Add to this a breakout performance by Sarah Bolger and the film becomes an unmissable crime thriller from a new director to watch." And Becky Sayers of Dread Central says "Reminiscent of a European take on South Korean vengeance stories, Director Abner Pastoll rewards genre lovers with a brutal crescendo that is unexpected yet wholly gratifying".
