The confusingly jumbled release of the inaugural After Dark Originals continues on May 24, when Lionsgate will put out SECONDS APART and FERTILE GROUND on DVD. Both discs will include behind-the-scenes featurettes, while FERTILE GROUND will also carry an audio commentary.
SECONDS APARTY is directed by Antonio Negret and written by George Richards. It stars Edmund Entin, Gary Entin, Orlando Jones and Samantha Droke. Seth and Jonah are murderous twins who share an evil kinship. Damned from the moment of their births, the brothers possess a talent for telekinesis – a power they are suspected of mis-using in the most horrific ways imaginable. As fellow students meet gory fates, a local investigator suspects the twins are connected to these gruesome murders, culminating in one final showdown of brother against brother, evil against evil.
FERTILE GROUND is directed by Adam Gierasch and written by Gierasch and Jace Anderson. It stars Gale Harold, Leisha Hailey and Jami Bassman. Emily and Nate Weaver leave the city for the rural comfort of Nate’s ancestral home in New Hampshire. There, isolated and haunted by inexplicable noises and horrifying visions, Emily discovers she’s pregnant while Nate is possessed by the homicidal spirit of his forbearers. In a house haunted by past victims, Emily learns that she’s the latest target in a murderous tradition.
Official cover art and full specs should be announced soon. Which one of these sounds better to you?
