SLATE Candidates
THE BLOOM
Director: Anthony CollamatiBlending the sensuous Mediterranean coming-of-age atmosphere of Call Me By Your Name, the creeping folk-horror dread of The Witch, and the intimate supernatural tension of Let The Right One In,THE BLOOM offers a contained, visually striking genre film positioned for festival discovery and international audiences. A young dancer, sidelined by injury, takes a caregiving job on a remote Italian island, only to discover she's been brought there to inherit a vanishing ritual that holds an ancient terror at bay.
ROAD WORK
Director: Paul SoletBased on the acclaimed novel by Stephen King, ROADWORK explores the psychological unraveling of George Dawes, a man already struggling with the loss of his son from cancer and the subsequent dissolution of his marriage, who learns his home is being seized under eminent domain… and will be demolished to make way for a new highway extension.
The Cipher
Director: Adam Egypt MortimerAdapted from the beloved Bram Stoker Award-winning novel from 1991, THE CIPHER is a moody and cinematic psychological horror film — an exploration of loss and despair, infused with elements of It Follows, the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Clive Barker, and the texture of David Cronenberg. In an abandoned warehouse deep in the decaying heart of a once-industrial American city, a young couple discovers a perfectly-symmetrical hole in the floor… a hole with no bottom, and with no apparent tether to the laws of physics… a hole which calls to them, promising to fulfill their darkest, deepest desires.
FATHOMS
Director: Alexander ThompsonSteeped in the fantastical imagery of filmmakers Ari Aster, Guillermo Del Toro and Jean Cocteau, FATHOMS is a gothic ghost story focused on three generations of women living in the decaying ruins of an estate in 1930s Cape Cod. An aging mother and her daughter-in-law, poisoned by the grief of losing their son and husband in a sailing expedition, pin their future hopes for financial stability & dignity upon 18-year old Josephine’s chances at marriage… but all three become driven toward madness when the sea-obsessed Jo finds the impossible body of a dead sea serpent washed up on their private beach.
