There’s something strange lurking in the woods by the lake in the unsettling new folk horror sensation NIX, released in the UK 31st October 2022.
Genre star favourites, Michael Pare (Bad Moon) and Dee Wallace (Cujo) star in this nerve-shredding supernatural thriller about an evil entity threatening a family, directed by Anthony C Ferrante, the man behind the hit horror comedy Sharknado films, here turning away from tongue in cheek to scares in the woods.
Inspired by German folk tales, NIX is an eerie and intelligent examination of the impact of trauma on generations of families – as well as an all-out terrifying horror film with a very memorable new screen monster to scare you witless.
Strikingly photographed, with elements of super-shockers Hereditary and Sinister, as well as containing a nifty nod towards the famous Patterson-Gimlin ’Bigfoot’ footage, and with veteran thesps Pare and Wallace lending a stamp of chiller credibility, NIX is sure to become a new Halloween horror favourite after it is unleashed this October.
A camping trip for the Coyle family ends in tragedy, when their young daughter Tessa disappears. Twenty-five years later, they are still haunted by the events of that day. Matriarch Donna (Dee Wallace) still believes Tessa is alive and continues to celebrate her birthday every year, hoping for her return. Oldest son Jack (James Zimbardi) tries to keep the family together without breaking down himself. Meanwhile middle son Lucas (Skyler Caleb) is a recovering addict with a young daughter of his own that he’s trying to protect. Terrible things start happening to the family again, with the appearance of a mysterious entity known as the “Nix”. The Coyle’s must confront the past – and what really happened out in the woods all those years ago – or succumb to the darkness that is waiting to consume them.
NIX was acquired by Central City Media in a deal closed by Jackrabbit Media.
NIX IS RELEASED DIGITALLY ON 31st OCTOBER 2022
