Aided by his own remarkable abilities and an eclectic team of associates, real estate agent Luke Roman specialises in clearing and closing haunted houses.

Solving the mystery, closing the portal, expelling the demon, putting the tortured soul to rest, those are all just the means to a greater end: A sale. After all, closure is nice – but closings are what The Roman Agency is all about.”

SurrealEstate stars Schitt’s Creek’s Tim Rozon and Sarah Levy and Season One will be available to buy on Blu-ray, DVD, and Download from October 9th.

Written and directed by John Pata, Black Mold tells the story of photographer Brooke (Agnes Albright, True Detective) and her pal Tanner (Andrew Bailes), who sneak into abandoned, off-limits buildings for the sake of their art and also the adrenaline rush. But when the daredevil pair break into their holy grail – Franklin Hill, a large facility with a history – they encounter a dangerously paranoid squatter (Jeremy Holm, Brooklyn 45) who holds them captive. The longer their attacker keeps them there, the more it becomes clear there’s something else profoundly wrong with the place as dangers surface at the intersection of artistic pursuits and internal sabotage.

The film won Best Indie Feature at this year’s Panic Fest in the US, and Agnes Albright was also named Best Actress.

Black Mold is a Head Trauma Production in association with The Line Film Co. and Shatterglass Films. It was produced by Sarah Sharp, Jen Shelby, Robert Patrick Stern, and Iman Sharabash, with Jill Gevargizian, Tony Wash, and Kevin McGrail on board as co-producers.

DALILAND

daliland trailer

From Mary Harron, the director of American Psycho, comes a look at the later years of the legendary surrealist artist Salvador Dali, played by Sir Ben Kingsley.

 

Amongst the decadence of 1970s New York, the great surrealist artist, Salvador Dali, enjoys the latter stage of his career with a lifestyle filled with luxury and extravagant parties. Surrounded by his own decadence, and his band of eccentric followers who worship his charismatic persona, he is content with avoiding a fast-approaching art show and the demands of his formidable wife, Gala.

The story is told through the eyes of James Linton, a young gallery assistant, keen to make his name in the art world. After quickly becoming enraptured by the provocative world of Dali, the façade begins to fade when he uncovers that behind the glitz and glamour lies a fragile genius, haunted by the past and unprepared for the changing tide of the world around him.

Daliland stars Sir Ben Kingsley, Barbara Sukowa, Rupert Graves, Suki Waterhouse, Andreja Pedjic, Ezra Miller, and Christopher Briney.

Daliland premieres exclusively on the Icon Film Channel from September 11th and is released in selected UK cinemas from October 13th.
