The indie horror scene is celebrating unprecedented box office success with two new releases, “Immaculate” and “Late Night With The Devil.” These films have captivated audiences with their terrifying tales and are setting strong examples of profitability for low-budget features in the genre.
“Immaculate” tells the harrowing story of Cecilia (Sweeney), an American nun on her path to joining a secluded convent in the Italian countryside. However, her new abode reveals horrifying secrets. Despite mixed reviews (including one from /Film), audiences are flocking to uncover the dreadful mystery themselves. Sweeney’s rising fame following her successful romantic comedy “Anyone But You,” and the ensemble-driven “Madame Web,” undoubtedly aided in drawing crowds to the theaters for an original story with challenging content.
Conversely, “Late Night With The Devil” chronicles the desperate attempts of talk show host Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) to revive his flagging show by hosting a Halloween special in 1977, inadvertently inviting evil into viewers’ homes. The film’s stellar reception, once reflected in a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, speaks to its compelling and captivating quality independent of star power.
The financial triumphs of both movies, produced with budgets just in the multi-million dollar range, bode well for NEON and IFC, indicating that there is fertile ground for smaller production companies in the realm of original cinema.
