Horror Highlights: BOGIEVILLE, GLASS EYE PIX, PLEASE DON’T FEED THE CHILDREN

BOGIEVILLE Official Full-Length Trailer: “The highly anticipated southern-fried vampire road movie “Bogieville”, directed by acclaimed British filmmaker and actor Sean Cronin, releases today, June 3, 2025, in North America by Level 33 Entertainment and on June 13, 2025 in the UK via Trinity Creative Partnership, on VOD via Amazon, Apple TV and Fandango at Home, among other premium digital channels.

Written by screenwriter Henry P. Gravelle, “Bogieville” unfolds in a decaying American trailer park where a young couple, Ham and Jody, are enticed to stay by the unsettling caretaker, Crawford. What they don’t realize is that Crawford is the guardian of the park’s grotesque residents – a clan of feral, hillbilly vampires. The film stars Indonesian actor Arifin Putra (“The Raid 2”), Eloise Lovell Anderson (“Villain”, “The Bastard Executioner”), and Cronin himself as the lead vampire, Madison.

The ensemble also features Jonathan Hansler, Ayvianna Snow (“How to Kill Monsters”, “Wrath of Dracula”), Sarina Taylor (“Reckless”), Andrew Lee Potts (“Primeval”, “The Crown”), along with newcomers Poppie Jae Hughe and Daniel P. Lewis. Sean Cronin—best known for his villainous turns in box office hits like “James Bond: The World is Not Enough”, “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”, and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” – brings his signature intensity and cinematic flair to “Bogieville”.

The film is produced by Djonny Chen for Silent D Pictures and Cronin for Magnificent Films.

Practical special effects are provided by Tequila Carter, with Steve Askey handling VFX.

Andreas Olavarria, CEO of Level 33 Entertainment, said, ‘Bogieville is a wild new take on the vampire genre which, although being shot in Surrey, UK, imaginatively brings to life a trailer park in the American deep south.’

Says Cronin of the film, ‘Here’s a little something to stir the pot – is it taboo, or just plain vampire science that our bloodsuckers can sense when it’s a woman’s time of the month? Like sharks with fangs, but with better cheekbones.'”

LARRY FESSENDEN’S GLASS EYE PIX LAUNCHES VIDEO LABEL IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OCN TO CELEBRATE 40 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT GENRE CINEMA: “In anticipation of its 40th anniversary celebration that begins November 2nd of this year, Glass Eye Pix is launching a video label in conjunction with OCN to release newly restored versions of the films that built its brand. The company that produced seminal work by game-changing names like Ti West, Kelly Reichardt, Jim Mickle, Rick Alverson, Graham Reznick, Glenn McQuaid, Mickey Keating, Joe Maggio, and Ilya Chaiken will be releasing early work brimming with style, scares, and skill in lavishly produced Blu-ray editions.

Glass Eye Pix (“one of the indie scene’s most productive and longest-running companies” —Filmmaker Magazine) is the fierce independent NYC-based production outfit headed by art-horror auteur Larry Fessenden (BLACKOUT, DEPRAVED, BENEATH, ABC’s of DEATH 2, NBC’s Fear Itself episode “SKIN AND BONES,” THE LAST WINTER, WENDIGO, HABIT, NO TELLING). Glass Eye Pix is responsible for narrative films, documentaries, books, comics, audio plays, and other unique work designed to inspire and contrast with corporate media. Fessenden (winner of the Someone to Watch Spirit Award) has operated the company since 1985, with the mission of supporting individual voices in the arts.

The Glass Eye Pix label launches in partnership with OCN distribution. Justin LaLiberty, head of OCN says: “I’ve admired the work that Larry Fessenden has done over the years, not just in his own work but in that of shaping an outstanding production company in Glass Eye Pix, one of the last bastions of truly independent genre filmmaking in the United States. I’m elated to partner with Larry to create the best home video releases possible for the films Glass Eye has produced, past and present, which will be distributed through OCN Distribution.”

Says Fessenden, “I love physical media as a way to present a movie with its graphic identity, extra features and ruminations by artisans and commentators, capturing the elusive resonance of an individual picture in one package. I hope fans of Glass Eye will enjoy the embarrassment of riches we have in store for them in the coming months.”

The Glass Eye Pix label begins its launch with the highly-anticipated Blu-ray release of James Felix McKenney’s AUTOMATONS (2006 / 83 min / 1.33:1 / English DTS-HD MA 5.1 / starring Christine Spencer, Angus Scrimm, Brenda Cooney, Jennifer Boutell, and Larry Fessenden).  Somewhere in the distant future, The Girl is alone. She is the last of her people, the others having died in a generations-long war that the girl continues to fight with the assistance of a group of antiquated robot helpers and soldiers…”
