Earlier this year<\/a>, Roth launched a company called The Horror Section with plans to produce all things horror, including movies, TV shows, games, podcasts, and more. The Horror Section picked up the distribution rights to writer\/director Joe Begos\u2019s\u00a0Jimmy and Stiggs<\/a>, which they brought to theatres in August, and then the found footage horror film\u00a0Dream Eater,\u00a0which reached theatres at the end of October. Now, Fandango<\/a> is taking pre-orders for the digital release of the film, which will be available to watch as of\u00a0November 18th.<\/p>\n

Written and directed by Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams,\u00a0Dream Eater\u00a0follows\u00a0Mallory (Drumm), a documentary filmmaker, who heads to a remote cabin in the mountains with her boyfriend Alex (Williams) to document his violent parasomnia. As his condition worsens, Mallory suspects something more sinister may be at play. As the nightmares escalate, so do the scares, right through the final frame.<\/p>\n

When The Horror Section acquired the film, Roth provided the following statement: \u201cI vividly remember every movie that truly terrified me. I remember standing on 25th street in New York City when my friend Kevin Foxe handed me a VHS of a film he had produced, which had just gotten into Sundance, called\u00a0The Blair Witch Project, and that night I had to sleep with the lights on. I remember watching a screener of\u00a0Paranormal Activity\u00a0during the filming of\u00a0Inglourious Basterds\u00a0in my apartment in Berlin, and I was so freaked out that I had to give it to Quentin [Tarantino] to traumatize him as well. And then there was\u00a0Dream Eater, watching this movie alone, in my house, and turning on the lights because it was that scary. It has been so long since I have been truly terrified by a film to such a degree that I had almost forgotten what it felt like. What these three filmmakers have pulled is not just remarkable on a low-budget DIY filmmaking level; they achieve the holy grail of horror, which is to make a movie that absolutely terrifies you. I was so blown away that I sent the film to everyone at The Horror Section, and we all agreed that this is \u2018the one.\u2019 I believe\u00a0Dream Eater\u00a0will be the scariest film of the year and truly has the potential to break out to be the next\u00a0Paranormal Activity\u00a0or\u00a0The Blair Witch Project. I don\u2019t want to over-describe it; the film speaks for itself. I cannot wait to see this in a dark theater with a packed audience hiding under their seats.\u201c<\/p>\n

The filmmaking trio added, \u201cWe were tired of waiting for permission to make our next film, so we put everything on the line and did it ourselves with the help of a small but mighty crew deep in the snowy Laurentian mountains. To now be joining forces with the master of horror himself, Eli Roth, and the incredible team at The Horror Section to bring\u00a0Dream Eater\u00a0to audiences worldwide is beyond a dream come true\u2026 It\u2019s a nightmare realized \u2013 in the best possible way.\u201c<\/p>\n

Dream Eater\u00a0was executive produced and financed by Vortex Media. Will you be watching the digital release of this movie? Let us know by leaving a comment below.<\/p>\n
