I am fascinated by the Hulu / Blumhouse series Into the Dark, which is giving us a new feature film every month, each one having something to do with a holiday that takes place in that month. It started in October with the Halloween-set THE BODY (pictured above), and earlier this month the series covered Valentine's Day with DOWN.
On March 1st, James Roday's TREEHOUSE, which deals with the Ides of March, will be added to the series.
Now Hulu has announced the release dates and shared some details on the April and May installments of Into the Dark.
It's no surprise that the April entry deals with April Fools' Day, but unlike NEW YEAR, NEW YOU this one will not be released early to make it available to watch on the holiday. Adam Mason's I'M JUST F*CKING WITH YOU won't be on the streaming service until Friday, April 5th.
Starring Keir O’Donnell, Hayes MacArthur, and Jessica McNamee, I'M JUST F*CKING WITH YOU is about
a man and his sister on the way to a family wedding, who endure a night of increasingly frightening practical jokes during a one-night stay at a secluded motel.
The script was written by Gregg Zehenter and Scott Barkan. Chino Moreno of Deftones is composing the score.
Into the Dark takes on Mother's Day with its May feature. Arriving on Hulu on Friday, May 3rd is director Chelsea Stardust's ALL THAT WE DESTROY. Written by Sean Keller and Jim Agnew, this one follows
a geneticist who fears that her son may be becoming a serial killer and creates a group of clones in an attempt to cure him of his psychopathic tendencies. Therefore allowing him to relive the murder of his first victim.
ALL THAT WE DESTROY stars Samantha Mathis, Israel Broussard, Aurora Perrineau, Dora Madison, and Frank Whaley.
I'm guaranteed to be watching every installment in this series just to see how it all turns out, and to see how the filmmakers handle their holidays. I'm looking forward to TREEHOUSE, I'M JUST F*CKING WITH YOU, ALL THAT WE DESTROY, and beyond.
