Saint Clare

This August, prepare to be gripped by the chilling intensity of Saint Clare, a blood-soaked thriller set to make its UK premiere at London's FrightFest. Starring Bella Thorne, known for her roles in Blended, Midnight Sun, and Scream: The TV Series, this film promises a mesmerizing performance from the actress as she takes on the eponymous lead in a spiritually charged tale. Imagine the unholy blend of American Psycho meeting Joan of Arc in a small town, and you get a glimpse of what’s in store.

Saint Clare is an adaptation of the novel by Don Roff, brought to the screen by the visionary Italian director Mitzi Peirone, acclaimed for her work on Braid. Peirone co-wrote the screenplay with Guinevere Turner, renowned for her writing on American Psycho, ensuring a narrative that's as sharp and unnerving as it is profound.

The film boasts a stellar cast, including Ryan Phillippe (Crash, Cruel Intentions), Rebecca De Mornay (The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Risky Business), Frank Whaley (Broken Arrow, Pulp Fiction), and Bart Johnson (High School Musical). Enhancing the film's eerie atmosphere is an original soundtrack by Zola Jesus, whose haunting melodies perfectly complement the movie's dark themes.

Set in a small town, Saint Clare follows a solitary young woman, Clare, haunted by voices that drive her to eliminate those with malicious intents who believe they can act with impunity. However, her final assassination plunges her into a nightmarish world of corruption, human trafficking, and otherworldly visions. As she spirals deeper into this dark abyss, the film questions whether Clare can save herself from the unimaginable horrors that her quest for vengeance unearths.

Don't miss the UK premiere of Saint Clare at FrightFest on 25 August 2024. For those who can’t attend, the film will be available digitally later this year, with the release date to be announced by 101 Films.

Prepare yourself for a journey into darkness and redemption, and witness the rise of Saint Clare.

His most recent books have been The Spawning, the short story collections Bone Marrow Stew and Zombie Pulp, and the novellas "1867: The Skulleater Campaign", "The Corpse King", and "Fear Me" When did you first become interested in writing? Oh, probably when I was 12 or 13. Up until that point my exposure to horror fiction came in the form of movies, TV, and horror comics.

That’s when I really started falling in love with it—the Pan Books of Horror, Masters of Horror, Horror Times Ten, the Frankenstein Horror Series, those Dracula paperbacks by Robert Lory. I fell in love with horror fiction then. Before that I read a lot of science fiction, particularly H.G. Wells, Robert Heinlein, Issac Asimo...

Interview With Franka Potente - (‘Charlotte Brown’ / ‘Anne Frank’) - American Horror Story: Asylum

Q:  You get to be something that most actors don't get to be.  You're a bomb of a character.  How would you fit in?  How will you upset the universe? A: I come in there because I am a housewife and I beat up two men in a bar.  I claim to be Anne Frank, which millions and millions of schoolchildren have read the book, we all assume is dead but do we really know.  I seem to have proof that what I say is true.  So at first nobody believes me but the more proof I bring the more people are investigating if what I say is true.  Not only that, there's somebody in there who works in this time that I seem to recognize from Auschwitz concentration camp.  So I'm pointing fingers at people too. Q: How will this affect the characters running the asylum? A: You definitely will but that is already set in motion isn't it?  Like you know, there's not going to be the moment where you're like oh my God, I thought this person was good.  I don't know if...
