He Never Left opens with text that sets up the film’s mythology – a killer, known to locals as “Pale Face,” went on a rampage for a decade in Larsen City. But in 1997 the murders stopped, no one knows why and the townsfolk still live in fear of that name…
After an intro that shows us a young woman, Charlotte (Hailey Nebeker), getting slaughtered in a motel room, a la Psycho, by a knife-wielding, mask-wearing psycho we cut to the present day, as Carly (Jessica Staples) nervously checks into a motel. She should be nervous, for in the boot of her car is her boyfriend Gabe (Colin Cunningham), who is on the run from two US Marshals, Tim, played...

A Night of Horror International Film Festival, announces its first programming wave for 2024 today. Long known as Australia’s premier genre film event, the festival now takes place in the United States. This year, the festival’s 16th edition – and first in the US – screens from March 1-3, at the Micon Downtown Cinema in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Says festival director Dean Bertram:
To move a fest I co-founded in Sydney, Australia, back in 2006, to America feels surreal. A Night of Horror has long taken pride in being recognized for its excellence in showcasing the best and bloodiest new horror films from around the globe. And this year’s program is already shaping up to be one of my favorite line-ups yet. In the first wave alone are some of the most original, terrifying, and at times hilarious genre offerings that you’ll see this year: A bloody buffet of zombies,...

Israel’s place at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest is under the microscope following a petition signed by more than 1,400 Finnish music industry professionals urging a ban due to alleged “war crimes.”
Echoing the state of play in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine, the group says that local broadcaster Yle should threaten to pull Finland’s entry if the European Broadcasting Union (Ebu), which runs Eurovision, doesn’t take action. Signatories include Finnish artists Olavi Uusivirta, Paleface and Axel Ehnström, who represented Finland in Eurovision 2011 under the name Paradise Oskar. Icelandic musicians made similar demands to local network Rúv last month.
Lukas Korpelainen, the initiator of the petition, said to local paper Hufvudstadsbladet that “Israel violates human rights” and “we don’t think it’s okay for the country to be part of the Song Contest to polish its image.”
The Ebu has previously backed Israel, stating in December that...

Witching Season Films, a Utah-based horror production company, has shared with Bloody Disgusting the first teaser-trailer and images for its second feature film, He Never Left.
Written and directed by James Morris, He Never Left tells the story of Gabriel, a fugitive on the run from the U.S. marshals. With help from his girlfriend, Carly, Gabriel takes refuge in an old motel. But after hearing strange noises coming from an adjoining room, the two inadvertently become targets of the notorious “Pale Face” killer, whose legend has haunted the local community for decades.
The film stars veteran actor Colin Cunningham, who met Morris at the Horrorfest Film Festival in the fall of 2020. After reading an early draft of the
screenplay, Cunningham worked closely with Morris and Witching Season Films Founder Michael Ballif as they prepared for production, which began in October 2021 and wrapped in June 2022.
