Last year, Ashley Greene (the Twilight saga) and Shawn Ashmore (Adam Green’s Frozen) shared the screen in the Netflix-released thriller Aftermath. Now Deadline reports that Greene and Ashmore have been reunited on the set of the supernatural horror film It Feeds, which is currently in production.
It Feeds will tell the story of a young girl who insists that a malevolent entity is feeding on her. Greene’s character is “a clairvoyant therapist who must confront her own personal demons to save the girl before she is taken completely.” Ashmore is playing “the anguished father, desperately struggling to protect his daughter.”
Deadline doesn’t name the director of It Feeds or the screenwriter, but they do mention that this film is the first in what is planned to be a ten-film slate of genre projects that’s coming our way from Productivity Media Inc and Black Fawn Films.

Meta jokes, perfect pace and sophisticated storytelling are wielded with skill by playful director Cody Calahan
Canadian writer-director Cody Calahan has been building something of a reputation in horror circles for his playful, narratively sophisticated work in what seem like superficially pulpy films, such as Antisocial, Let Her Out and The Oak Room. His latest offering is pretty on-brand, with winking meta-jokes, such as having the central character Joel (Evan Marsh from Shazam!) be a journalist who writes about horror films. What’s more, when we first meet him, he’s pitching a story to a horror film producer (Gord Rand) about a serial killer who is a taxi driver, a joke that pays out satisfyingly much later. In less skilful hands, gags like this would be highly irritating, but Calahan and the cast get away with it thanks to fine comic timing and likable ensemble playing.

Grimmfest keep on delivering the goods despite a worldwide pandemic. Their latest treat comes along with the May Bank Holiday and includes Cody Calahan’s latest movie Vicious Fun.
Set in the eighties, the crazy story has us follow a horror movie journalist (instantly relatable to a big chunk of this films audience!) who somehow ends up in a self-help group for serial killers. When his attempts at blending in don’t go to plan he has to work out a way to survive… I’m glad the word fun is in the title of this movie. It is often something that people seem to think is a less than positive way of describing films. But I love films that are fun and it is a perfect description here.

The Oak Room
A film about a man who walks into a bar and offers to pay for his drink with a story might not sound especially compelling, but there's power in stories - the bedrock of cinema - and if you're willing to give The Oak Room your attention, you'll be chilled to the bone by the time the story ends. Every apparently familiar detail in Cody Calahan's cinematic riddle conceals something else. Nothing can be taken for granted .But just how does one go about constructing a film like this? Here's what Cody had to tell us.
Jennie Kermode: The Oak Room has an astonishing script but with such limited use of location and movement, it must have been a serious challenge to film. What persuaded you to take it on?

There is a moment of surreal wonder near the start of Concrete Cowboy, the TIFF premiere co-starring Idris Elba, that is never equaled again, a sequence of unexpected radiance conjuring a sense of astonishment.

Eventually he finds his (seemingly) menacing father and is led into a ramshackle, messy home. Suddenly...

There’s no denying that Vicious Fun is slickly made; bathed and birthed in a whole heap of stylish neons, from a synthy score to a quirky but quickly meaningless ’80s period setting. It’s gorgeous to look at, delves out plenty of practical gore, and happily lives up to the edgy fun and games the title promises. A decent enough addition to any late night genre slot, for sure. But at the same time, not one that’s particularly consistent, or all that memorable either.
The plot might say otherwise – a self-confessed loser finding himself well-and-truly in the lions den, when he blacks out and wakes up in the middle of a self-help group for larger-than-life serial killers. It’s a witty spin on slasher movies that’s probably ten years too late to really have any impact, but at least makes for an amusing set-up. And with a...

Tagline: "Blood, Murder and Self-help." Vicious Fun is the latest title from Black Fawn Films. A Cody Calahan (The Oak Room) feature, Vicious Fun follows Joel, who accidentally stumbles into a self-help group for serial killers. Can he survive the night? Co-written by James Villeneuve, this feature stars: Evan Marsh ("Northern Rescue"), Amber Goldfarb, Ari Millen and Julian Richings. A trailer was just released for this feature and can be found below. The trailer shows a hitchhiker and a strange driver. Set in 1983, Joel then walks into the self-help meeting, where killers can hardly keep their murderous urges under control. Joel seeks help from the authorities, but only the killers are interested in his story. Vicious Fun will show at this year's Sitges Film Festival, later this month. Held in Spain every year, this prestigious film festival will host one of Canada's best indie features. To show as part of the Panorama Fantastic section,...

I was a huge (and I do mean huge) fan of Cody Calahan’s 2013 debut feature Antisocial and its 2015 follow-up, so I was super-excited to see The Oak Room, the latest directorial effort from Calahan and the Canadian genre filmmaking outfit Black Fawn Films – a company who, in my opinion, have produced some of the best genre films in recent years, giving the much more well-known Blumhouse Productions a run fo their money when it comes to low-budget horror filmmaking; and The Oak Room is their best yet.
On a snowy night in a small Canadian town, Paul (Peter Outerbridge) has just closed up his bar when a young man named Steve (Rj Mitte) walks in the door – carrying a lot of baggage.

*full disclosure: online access to the Fantasia Film Festival was provided by the fine staff from the event. Director: Cody Calahan. Writer: Peter Genoway. Cast: Coal Campbell, Nicholas Campbell, Amos Crawley, Avery Esteves, David Ferry, Ari Millen, Rj Mitte, Peter Outerbridge and Martin Roach. The Oak Room is a co-production between Black Fawn Films and Citizen Skull Productions. Together, these two companies have assembled a great team of filmmakers, including: director Cody Calahan (Antisocial) and Peter Genoway. The Oak Room's screenplay was developed by Genoway, who also created the original play, from 2013. This film recently had an appearance at Cannes, before having its public World Premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival. This title is very layered and the story develops much like a Russian doll, in which there are smaller dolls or stories within each larger doll. Two stories converge thanks to one character. And, this is a small film with a decent payoff.

Screened as a selection of the virtual 2020 Fantasia Film Festival. Many stories begin with, "a man walks into a bar." They are often light jokes, but some involve bone-chilling circumstances and plot twists that we would never expect to follow. The latter transpires in The Oak Room, a suspenseful thriller from Canadian filmmaker Cody Calahan (Let Her Out) and written by Peter Genoway (Masks). The creators set the story during a frosty storm in a small, dim-lit bar. What captures our attention right away is the filmmakers' ability to generate anxiety around a variety of storylines and surprise us with sudden twists and turns in the film. Calahan also highlights the tremendous value and significance of well-crafted, enigmatic storytelling. A drifter named Steve (Rj Mitte) arrives at the bar in his Canadian hometown, in the middle of a raging blizzard. But he doesn't seem too welcome by its owner, Paul...

It starts with a bottle of beer hitting a bar before an off-screen fight gets that glass bouncing along to the impact of bodies we never see. And it finishes with a similar still life that may or may not be the exact same beverage—a question left in limbo considering bottles are hitting bars past closing time throughout the entirety of director Cody Calahan and screenwriter Peter Genoway’s film The Oak Room. There are a lot of these almost cyclical moments during its brisk, dialogue-heavy ninety-minutes: drifters coming down the steps to greet a bartender hoping to go home, blizzard snow climbing windows, and the desire to tell stories with calculated meaning whether or not the teller or the listener knows as much once the words begin.
Along with those purposeful truths, however, come purposeful distractions. Bloodied hands presume foul play. Unopened bags carry the potential for dual identities.

We have a number of behind the scenes images from the upcoming horror comedy Vicious Fun. This is the next film from the Black Fawn crew, directed by Cody Calahan and written by James Villeneuve. Calahan produced with Chad Archibald. The team shot just over the way in Hamilton, Ontario. It is a change of pace for the lads from Black Fawn, moving into horror comedy territory, so it will be interesting to see them bring the funny to their brand of horror cinema. We have a series of behind the scenes photos below. American comedy fixture David Koechner features prominantly in the gallery and there appears to be a rather chilly looking Julian Richings in a freezer. Good times. Vicious Fun...

Now, fans of suspenseful thrillers can find a trailer and poster, for the film, here. The trailer shows several characters entering the bar.

Prolific filmmaking group Black Fawn Films are entering production once again. Next week, just outside of Toronto, they begin working on their next film, The Oak Room, based off of the Canadian stage play from Peter Genoway. Genoway adapted his stageplay for the screen with director Cody Calahan. Genoway's award winning play was based off of his own experience of being stranded in a snow-covered small town. This is all hilarious if only that Summer has arrived and the Greater Toronto Area is in Broil Mode. That will be the magic of filmmaking. During a raging snowstorm, a drifter returns home to the blue-collar bar located in the remote Canadian town where he was born. When he offers to settle an old debt...
