Tagline: "Pray the Lord My Soul to Keep." While We Sleep is an upcoming possessed themed horror film. From cinematographer Andrzej Sekula (Cube²: Hypercube), this indie feature was written by: Brian Gross (Dream Killer) and Rich Ronat. Now, a new poster has been released for this supernatural feature, which has been in production since at least 2019. Starring Jacy King (Killer Island) and Oliver Trevena, the film's latest movie poster is showing here. The graphic shows a young girl, demonically possessed. Flames emerge from her face as a priest tries to turn back the Devil. However, this family's corruption might be too much for this one priest. While We Sleep is being repped by Vmi Worldwide, for a future release. Set to show in 2021 at some point, an older trailer is available below, in case horror fans missed it. As well, a more specific release date will be announced soon,...

The Revenant
Stars: David Anders, Chris Wylde, Louise Griffiths, Jacy King | Written and Directed by Kerry Prior
Revenant – One who returns from the dead in corporeal form.
Dying sucks. I mean, think about it. You cease to exist, and all the beautiful things in life can never be seen again. You become worm food, a permanent resident taking up real estate six feet under. But what if, and those are some powerful words, what if you didn’t have to stay dead? What if you could come back and be immortal, for lack of a better word? It’s not something to be taken lightly and in the wrong hands, it can go bad for everyone involved. How would you use that power? And therein lies the central idea of The Revenant.
We follow the story of Bart Gregory, a soldier “killed to death in a gunfight,” while on patrol in Iraq.

The Revenant
Starring: David Anders, Chris Wylde, Louise Griffiths, Jacy King Written, Directed and Produced by Kerry Prior
The Revenant has been kicking around for awhile (IMDb lists it at a 2009 film), running the festival circuit and refusing to die like its main character. That journey ends today, as it finally earns a limited release in a few select cities, as well as being made available on video on demand. If you want to know whether you should spend the money to see it, should you have the chance, the answer is an unequivocal yes.
In this new age where we’re flooded by zombies, vampires and werewolves (oh my!) in every pop culture outlet possible, it takes a unique and cunning vision to make one of so many stand out. And Kerry Prior, a special FX wizard on such varied films from The Lost Boys to Air Force One to The Blob and Phantasm,...

Director/writer: D. Kerry Prior. Cast: David Anders, Louise Griffiths, Jacy King, and Chris Wylde. Tagline: "The only thing worse than having your best friend die is having him come back." While watching D. Kerry Prior's The Revenant, this reviewer is reminded of another zombie buddy movie titled Deadheads. In both films, two friends have to deal with becoming undead. Deadheads is more of a road trip comedy, while The Revenant is a darker thriller. Both films tell tales of a friend trying to help another with elements of romance on the periphery. As more background, The Revenant was completed in 2009 and despite winning several awards, this title has experienced some delays in reaching the public. Lionsgate has picked up this title for an September release and fans of zombie thrillers and comedies will want to shamble out to their local Redbox to feed on this title at home.

Although Joey seems to have painlessly moved on in life, friends are friends and Bart is enthusiastically welcomed back, even as a zombie that needs to drink blood to stop the decomposition of his body.

The Revenant is a "zomb-edy" (Lightning) from director Kerry Prior (Roadkill). Currently, at the Cannes Film Festival, The Revenant has recently been picked up by Lightning Entertainment for international sales; if only they would pick up this undead romp for Norte Americano. Recently, The Revenant had a makeover and the gorrific results can be seen in this new poster art (seen left).
The tagline states: "keeping the streets of L.A. safe for the undead," as the city of angels is bathed in burning light. With Lightning showing interest, hopefully this film is one shambling step closer to finding a domestic release date. More bloody details are below.

Undoubtedly, the heart and soul of The Revenant are best friends Bart (David Anders) and Joey (Chris Wylde) but as the saying goes, for every good man there’s an equally good woman (or two in this instance) behind them. Balancing out the testosterone on the set of the film were actresses Jacy Gross and Louise Griffiths.
We recently had the opportunity to catch up with Gross, who plays level headed Wiccan Mathilda in the film who also serves as the film’s voice of reason, to talk about her experiences on the film and discuss the challenges of working in independent cinema.
Gross had a hunch from the start that collaborating with writer/director Kerry Prior would be unlike anything she had experienced ever in her career.

In 2009 I had the pleasure of checking out The Revenant during the Screamfest Film Festival. Directed by Kerry Prior, the film stars David Anders, Chris Wylde, Jacy Gross, and Louise Griffiths and is centered around Bart (Anders), a soldier who is killed overseas in Iraq. On the night of his funeral back in the States, Bart awakens in his grave as a revenant (think zombie with vampire tendencies so he sleeps all day) and seeks out assistance from his best friend, Joey, as he adapts to his strange new life.
With hints of Shaun of the Dead and The Signal, I was immediately impressed with Prior’s gritty but often humorous take on the zombie subgenre with The Revenant (review here). Since I hadn’t heard any updates on the project in a few months, I thought it was time we caught up with some of the film’s key...

The Revenant Movie StillThe Revenant is a zombie inspired comedy from first time director Kerry Prior. A special effects technician by trade, Prior breaks the mold by inventing a "jam-packed...urban decadence, [with] perverse gore, and outrageously ghoulish humour" (Fantasia). This film will have a Montreal premiere at Fantasia 2010 and fans of the gritty, or the shocking can have a look at the film at Fantasia below.
The synopsis for The Revenant here;
The Revenant is a story about an ancient pestilence recurring to infect modern society. Officer first class Bart Gregory is killed while fighting in the Middle East. His body is shipped back to the United States and laid to rest, but before the lid can be put on this tomb, Bart inexplicably awakens in his coffin and climbs from his grave. He is confused, horrified, a moldy, putrefying living corpse - a revenant" (The Revent).

The Revenant Directed by Kerry Prior Undead horror has had an unprecedented revival in recent years. Zombie fever has proved surprisingly resilient, and this recent vampire craze shows no signs of abating. It's easy to become cynical about the sheer amount of zombie and vampire entertainment going into production, but amidst the glut of sub-par cash-ins, some inspiringly original films have managed to find an audience. The Revenant, if there's any justice in this world, will be one of them. The film opens at our protagonist Bart's (David Anders) funeral, where distressed family and friends gather to mourn. In attendance is the central cast: loud-mouth best friend Joey (Chris Wylde), girlfriend Janet (Louise Griffiths), and Janet's friend (and Wicca) Matti (Jacy King). The three share some drinks, Janet and Joey share a night of passionate remorse, and Bart wakes up in his coffin. The film that follows is hard to categorize.

Day Three of my 2009 Fantastic Fest marathon ended with "The Revenant", Kerry Prior's horror/comedy buddy movie, one that's been picking up a lot of buzz and awards lately. I had very little foreknowledge of the overall story, and ended up liking it quite a bit. It's a genuinely fun movie that goes in a new direction or two
When we first see Bart (David Anders), he's a body in a coffin, a soldier recently killed in Iraq. His best friend Joey (Chris Wylde), girlfriend Janet (Louise Griffiths), and her best friend Mathilda (Jacy King) are still coping the night of the funeral when Bart rises from the grave. Reeking, disoriented, and decomposing, Bart heads to Joey's house to try and figure out how he's cheated death, and Joey's ensuing...

Kerry Prior, the FX artist who created the silver sphere and other FX for the Phantasm sequels, gave us the scoop and some exclusive pics (see ’em below) from his new writing/directing vehicle, The Revenant. The horror/black comedy, Prior’s second feature after 1996’s Roadkill, is currently in postproduction.
“The Revenant is based on what I think of as ‘pre-fictional’ vampire folklore—meaning legends from the 17th and 18th centuries, before the vampire was popularized in fiction and movies,” Prior tells Fango. “The story is about Bart Gregory, who is killed in the Iraq war and his body shipped home. He rises from the dead, of course, and solicits the help of his friend Joey Leubner to try and figure out what’s going on. They have to figure out how to procure blood to keep Bart from rotting, which is the thrust of the story.
