THE SIREN Set To Release On DVD and Digital This January From Dark Sky Films

The Siren is coming to Digital and DVD on January 28th from Dark Sky Films. 

A man searches a secluded lake for the monster that murdered his husband, while that monster falls in love with an unsuspecting visitor in the award-winning THE SIREN. The new fantasy-horror film from writer-director Perry Blackshear (They Look Like People) arrives on Digital and DVD on January 28, 2020.

THE SIREN is an enthralling, seductive and creepy supernatural tale about cursed star-crossed lovers. Tom (Evan Dumouchel, Stephen King's Doctor Sleep, 40 Days and Nights) is a mute man from a sheltered, religious background who is haunted by the childhood accident that cost him his voice. While on a retreat at a lake house, he meets Al (MacLeod Andrews, A Ghost Waits, Doctor Sleep), whose husband drowned in the lake--one of many mysterious deaths there.

The area is marked by a local legend of a lovelorn spirit who haunts the surrounding woods and drowns anyone she encounters. The legend proves all too real when Tom encounters the beautiful creature. Drawn to her immediately, Tom knows he has found his soulmate in the seemingly human Nina (Margaret Ying Drake, They Look Like People, 59 Seconds), who must battle to repress her demonic instincts when she feels the same toward him. Meanwhile, Al, possessed by vengeance, circles the pair, getting ever closer to tracking down the monster that destroyed his happy marriage.
Part dark fairy tale and part elegant nightmare, THE SIREN is a heart-wrenching story of passion and revenge that will take hold of you and never let you go.

THE SIREN won three awards at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, including Best Director, for Perry Blackshear, and Best Actor, for Evan Dumouchel. It was also nominated for Best International Feature Film at the Strasbourg European Fantastic Film Festival.

Critics have lauded THE SIREN, placing it in the company of such recent fantasy-horror successes as The Shape of Waterand The Lure. Matthew Turner of Nerdly called it "a strikingly directed and superbly acted creature feature that's simultaneously charming, creepy and achingly sad." "The direction from Blackshear is masterful, the cinematography beautiful, the music gorgeous, and the performances outstanding,"said Pip Ellwood-Hughes of Entertainment Focus.

SciFi Now's Aton Bitel praised the film as "hauntingly melancholic" and "tense,"writing, "Like Alain Guiraudie's Stranger by the Lake, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's Spring and Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread, it concerns people who embrace with open arms what is dangerous, forbidden, impossible -and who willingly dive deep into what might just suffocate them."

Syfy Channel Orders 'Chucky' TV Series

SYFY has placed a straight to series order for CHUCKY, the red-haired, freckled-faced doll possessed by the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray. Produced by UCP, the series will be executive produced by creator Don Mancini (“Hannibal,” SYFY’s CHANNEL ZERO), David Kirschner (“Hocus Pocus,” “Frailty”), and Nick Antosca (Hulu’s “The Act,” SYFY’s CHANNEL ZERO) via his banner Eat the Cat, through his overall deal with the studio. Emmy®-nominated Harley Peyton (“Twin Peaks,” SYFY’s CHANNEL ZERO) will also serve as executive producer. Mancini, who penned the film franchise, will also write the adaptation, serve as showrunner and direct the first episode.

“The character Don and David created has terrified audiences for over 30 years. The longevity and legacy of Chucky speaks to the creative storytelling and the loyal fans the film series has collected over the years,” said Chris McCumber, President, Entertainment Networks - USA & SYFY. “We are excited to once again partner with Nick and UCP on this new SYFY series, and are incredibly proud to bring Chucky to television for the first time with the original creators.”

In the new CHUCKY television series, after a vintage Chucky doll turns up at a suburban yard sale, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos as a series of horrifying murders begin to expose the town’s hypocrisies and secrets. Meanwhile, the arrival of enemies — and allies — from Chucky’s past threatens to expose the truth behind the killings, as well as the demon doll's untold origins as a seemingly ordinary child who somehow became this notorious monster.

In 1988, Chucky slashed his way into the pop culture zeitgeist with the premiere of “Child’s Play” directed and co-written by Tom Holland, produced by Kirschner, and based on a story by Mancini. The international sensation spawned six sequels, all of which Mancini wrote and Kirschner produced. Mancini also directed three of the films in the franchise: “Seed of Chucky” (2004), “Curse of Chucky” (2013) and “Cult of Chucky” (2017).

CHUCKY joins SYFY’s lineup of originals including drama series RESIDENT ALIEN, WYNONNA EARP, VAGRANT QUEEN, VAN HELSING and THE MAGICIANS (premiering season 5 on January 15); late night animation block TZGZ; and fan-focused franchises produced in conjunction with SYFY WIRE like CON AFTER DARK.
