Churchill Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: June 30, 2023 DEVILREAUX fits, very broadly, into the CANDYMAN pantheon of vengeful revenants created by wrongs of the pre-Civil War American South.

Loy, Matthew O’Brien, Tristan Heanue, Graeme Coughlan Writers: Tim Reynolds & Stephen Hall, story by Tim Reynolds Director: Stephen Hall Distributor: 101 Films/Trinity Creative Partnership Release Date: June 27, 2023 (digital, VOD) THE GATES is only intermittently scary.
