Film Financier and Distributor Epic Pictures Releasing announced the release of the multi-award winning anthology film The Dark Tapes. The film will have a limited engagement in Los Angeles on March 17th and will be available on VOD platforms April 18th.

The Dark Tapes is a horrifying blend of terror and mayhem which takes the viewer on a twisted journey into the world of paranormal activity, demonic possession, and the supernatural. The cast includes a who’s-who of genre talent: Cortney Palm (Sushi Girl, Zombeavers, Death House), Brittany Underwood (Nickelodeon’s Hollywood Heights), and Emilia Ares Zorayn (Amazon’s Bosch, V/H/S: Viral). To date, the film has garnered 57 awards and nominations on the festival circuit, placing it #2 all-time for found-footage movies, right after the 1999 original worldwide smash The Blair Witch Project. The Dark Tapes was directed by Michael McQuown and Emmy Award winning make-up effects artist, Vincent J. Guastini (Requiem for a Dream, The Last of the Mohicans).

Patrick Ewald, CEO of Epic Pictures, said “The Dark Tapes is already being recognized as one of the top 2017 horror films to look out for and we can’t wait to release it for the fans to see”.

A spin-off film, The Darker Paths, involving some of the same characters and themes, is set to go into production this Spring.
