Wood Entertainment, in partnership with The Horror Collective, has today announced the November 3rd (Election Day) Digital/VOD release of the timely, pandemic-set, isolation horror/thriller Darkness in Tenement 45 from writer/director Nicole Groton (The Melting Family).
Check out the trailer and release artwork below.
In the film, "Joanna has been living with her overbearing Aunt Martha, in a low-income NYC tenement building ever since a violent outburst left her fighting a force that she can only describe as the "darkness." Little did she know that weeks after moving in, a biological threat from the Soviet Union would leave the building boarded up and the tenants locked inside. With food dwindling and Martha’s controversial role as leader expanding, Joanna rallies the children in an attempt to save the building. Tensions come to a violent head when Martha delves into Joanna’s past and Joanna struggles to keep the darkness from overtaking her entirely."
The press release explains, "Arriving during the most pivotal election in US history, Darkness in Tenement 45's themes of power, corruption, and generational divide also make it the perfect election horror film."
The film had an unstoppable festival run, including screenings at Horrible Imaginings Film Festival (where it received runner-up for best Actress and best Screenplay), Big Apple Film Festival (where it received Best Feature Film), Sarasota Film Festival, Capital City Film Festival, and Heartland Film Festival.
"I am so thrilled to be working alongside Wood Entertainment as we share our film Darkness in Tenement 45 with the world," said Groton. "This film was built on female collaboration and we're excited to continue that journey with Tara Wood and her team who have created a great space for women in film."
“I love thrillers of the '80s and '90s, Fatal Attraction, Sea of Love, Point of No Return, even Cujo," said Wood. "We are very much looking to acquire today’s female driven thrillers with women in front of and behind the camera. Darkness in Tenement 45, or DT45, is a perfect fit in our library."
