Magnet Releasing's SATANIC is a project we first heard about nearly two years ago, when the supernatural teen-horror film was just in the scripting stage. It has slipped under our radar since then, but the film is now complete and the folks over at Bloody-Disgusting have received word on exactly when we'll be able to see it: SATANIC is set to be released into limited theatres and on VOD and iTunes on July 1st.
This marks the feature directoral debut of Jeff Hunt, who has been working in television for the last decade, racking up many directing credits on shows like The Originals, The Vampire Diaries, Gotham, CSI, Sleepy Hollow, Burn Notice, Fringe, the list goes on and on.
SATANIC was written by Anthony Jaswinski (VANISHING ON 7TH STREET, KRISTY, the upcoming THE SHALLOWS) and follows
a van full of young, college-aged coeds who are visiting old Satanic Panic-era sites in Los Angeles. They end up following the creepy owner of an occult store home, only to find themselves saving a suspicious girl from an apparent human sacrifice. Only this “victim” turns out to be much more than dangerous then the cult from which she escaped.
Sarah Hyland, Justin Chon, Clara Mamet, and Steven Krueger star.
