Icetastrophe from Alchemy

As a meteor enters the Earth s atmosphere, it splits in two above a small unsuspecting town. The first part, a smaller fragment, slams deep into the mountains leaving behind a burning crater. The second larger piece blazes over the town. Witnessing this is TIM and MARLEY, two young lovers forbidden to be together, thanks to a truly modern day family feud. Excited, they race back to town, unaware that the second half of the meteor has smashed directly into Main Street and they are unprepared for what they are about to see.

 

An Irish Exorcism from Virgil Films

In her final year at school, Anthropology student Lorraine decides to film her final project – the subject of exorcism within the Catholic Church. Recording interviews with priests from the local diocese, she stumbles upon Fr. Byrne, an older priest who is currently helping a young mother whose daughter is apparently possessed by a demonic force. The curiosity of Lorraine, along with her camera operator, Cathal, leads them down a dark path of discovering the terrifying truth, and things go from strange to worse as all involved become entangled into a frightful journey to save a little girl’s life.

 

The Drownsman from Anchor Bay

The haunting legend of the mountains becomes a shocking reality when seemingly innocent holidaymakers become victims of sadistic stabbings. Romance and murder are horrifyingly entangled. Satan’s Blade will stop at nothing.
