Formerly Fairytale, Bloody Disgusting Selects is gearing up to unleash The Haunting of Helena! Based on the tooth fairy lore, it will be released in select theaters on June 21, 2013. It will also be available on Cable VOD in partnership with Tribeca Films and for digital streaming on June 18, 2013. Additional local cable VOD information is available via Tribeca Film On Demand here. I haven’t seen the film, but I dig this trailer that looks like it has more to offer than the typical slow-burn.

“A tale of a mysterious woman, a little girl, and her single mother, ‘The Haunting of Helena’ presents a new twist on the legend of the Tooth Fairy.”

Head inside for the trailer, poster and extended synopsis!



This Italian horror flick is a slow-burn thriller that begins, “After a divorce, Sophia moves to the south of Italy with her daughter, Helena. Their new home, an apartment within an austere building of the fascist age, is a chance for them to start a new life. But inside an old storage room hides a mysterious closet and a buried secret. After the loss of Helena’s first baby tooth, a chilling obsession begins and an apparition haunts her sleep. Dreams become nightmares. Nightmares become reality. When Helena collects her classmate’s fallen teeth with an urgent hunger, it is clear that there is far more to their new home than can be seen. Sophia finds herself in a terrifying fight to save her child while maintaining her sanity. The Haunting of Helena will keep you at the edge of your seat as it slides in agony along the sharp blade of psychological terror.”
