Last year, Ashley Greene (the Twilight saga) and Shawn Ashmore (Adam Green’s Frozen) shared the screen in the Netflix-released thriller Aftermath. Now Deadline reports that Greene and Ashmore have been reunited on the set of the supernatural horror film It Feeds, which is currently in production.

It Feeds will tell the story of a young girl who insists that a malevolent entity is feeding on her. Greene’s character is “a clairvoyant therapist who must confront her own personal demons to save the girl before she is taken completely.” Ashmore is playing “the anguished father, desperately struggling to protect his daughter.”

Deadline doesn’t name the director of It Feeds or the screenwriter, but they do mention that this film is the first in what is planned to be a ten-film slate of genre projects that’s coming our way from Productivity Media Inc and Black Fawn Films.

Director: Chad Archibald. Writer: Jayme Laforest. Cast: Aidan Devine, Ava Preston, Jess Salgueiro, Michael Reventar and Ari Millen. I'll Take Your Dead is the latest horror film from director Chad Archibald and his production house Black Fawn Films. Also developed by Breakthrough Entertainment and writer Jayme Laforest, I'll Take Your Dead could only have been shot in the snowy climes of Ontario. One part gangster thriller and one part ghost story, I'll Take Your Dead begins with a father - trying to protect his daughter. His work of choice is dissolving bodies, for the local gangbangers. Not much later, Act II slows the film's plot development, while supernatural elements waver in and out of the film. Overall, I'll Take Your Dead is a decent thriller, which requires a bit of patience. The ghost story elements begin with a robbery. But, what are the rules for ghosts entering or exiting scenes and being seen?...

In his four-star review, Patrick Bromley called Chad Archibald's I'll Take Your Dead "a gem of a genre mash-up that’s well worth tracking down," and if you missed it in theaters, you can soon add it to your home media collection, as Scream Factory will release the horror movie on Blu-ray and DVD beginning June 4th.

This originally premiered at two Canadian film festivals last year - Calgary and Toronto After Dark - and is getting a limited release in May.

The two begin to develop a very unusual respect for each other, but the killers come back to finish the job. Aidan Devine stars, with Ava Preston, Jess Salgueiro, Brandon McKnight, and Ari Millen. Looks like this has some creepy twists and turns. Here's the official trailer...

Chad Archibald's new film I'll Take Your Dead will have its world premiere at the Calgary International Film Festival on Thursday. The first trailer was released today. You will find it below.    While all of his previous films have more or less be straight on horror flicks Archibald and Black Fawn appear to have taken all that experience and have worked it into a crime thriller narrative. That is at least interesting because grounding any horror in a scenario that is more relatable to an audience - gang violence versus say, once in a lifetime cult shindigs and demigod ressurections - should make it challenging to disassociate the horror and wave it off as fantasy.    Have a look for yourself.    Breakthrough Entertainment...
