Magnolia Pictures has set a date for the Japanese supernatural horror film, ‘Never After Dark’, raising the dead this September.
Magnolia has officially set a date for supernatural Japanese horror film, Never After Dark, bringing the pictures to cinemas this Fall.
The film “follows Airi (Moeka Hoshi) wandering medium who spends her life guiding restless spirits out of the world of the living. Summoned to an isolated country house, she comes face to face with a grotesque apparition with powers that defy Airi’s experience. As she digs deeper into the house’s past, a secret comes to light — and Airi finds herself hunted by a far more unpredictable force. For the first time, her greatest adversary is not the supernatural, but the living.”
Kento Kaku (House of Ninjas), Kurumi Inagaki (House of Ninjas), Mutsuo Yoshioka (Chime), Bokuzo Masana (Toyko Vice) and Tae Kimura (All Around Us) also star.
Dave Boyle wrote/directed the the film.
Never After Dark won both the SXSW Midnighter Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize for Feature Film at the Overlook Film Festival.
The film is produced by Signal 181, the Tokyo-based production company founded by actor-producer Kaku and Boyle. CEO Kosuke Tsutsumi also produces alongside Kaku and Boyle, with Aram Tertzakian of XYZ Films, Todd Brown and United Lounge Tokyo’s Toshiyuki Suzuki executive producing.
Never After Dark raises the dead in theaters on September 25th.
