Bits & Pieces: Back To Normal Edition

5th January 2019

The highly-anticipated horror film The 6^th Friend, from star, producer and writer Jamie Bernadette, will open theatrically January 11, 2019 via The Asylum, it was announced today. For Bernadette (I Spit on Your Grave: Déjà vu, “Midnight, Texas”), news of a theatrical for the film is the best Christmas present she could’ve asked for. “Having co-written the screenplay, I’ve lived with the 6^th Friend – figuratively speaking – for a long time. I guess you’d say it’s my wonderfully wicked horror baby – I’m so darn proud of it. Hearing news of a theatrical from our distributor, The Asylum, is music to my ears and I just know audiences are going to love seeing the six of us try and evade the uninvited guest of the movie together in a theater! Here’s to offering horror fans their first bigscreen scream of the new year!”.
