Blackout is a 2023 horror film in which a painter is convinced that he is a werewolf wreaking havoc on a small American town under the full moon.
Written and directed by actor-filmmaker Larry Fessenden (Depraved; Beneath; Habit).
The American Glass Eye Pix-Yellow Veil Pictures production stars Alex Hurt, Addison Timlin, James LeGros, Kevin Corrigan, Barbara Crampton and Joe Swanberg.
Plot:
Small-town artist Charley (Alex Hurt) is a tortured man whose drinking binges blur with his sneaking suspicion that he might also be a werewolf. He distances himself from those he loves and sinks deeper into solitude whilst the flashes of memory of his nighttime grisly acts are manifested through his artwork…
Release date:
In the US, Blackout will be released by Dark Sky Films theatrically in New York City for a week at the IFC Center on March 13, followed by a release on digital and VOD on April 12, 2024.
Background:
Larry Fessenden has commented: “I am interested in finding new truths in the classic monster tropes of my youth. The essence of each creature dictates the milieu of the film, and of course, the werewolf is both out of control and regretful so that duality shaped my story. I am excited to work with Yellow Veil again, they understand my filmmaking and have been fierce advocates.”
