Two previously released Bloody Disgusting titles have made their way to our SCREAMBOX streaming platform, one is a creepy found footage horror for those with a fear of clowns, and the other is an absolutely stunning A24-esque chiller reminiscent of The Witch.
Drawing comparisons to The Witch comes German gothic folk tale Hagazussa, which The Hollywood Reporter hailed as “a spellbinding audiovisual symphony” and earned a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes upon release.
Hagazussa, which has a stunning atmosphere mixed with brooding terror from start to finish, takes place in the Austrian Alps in the 15th century when people feared witches and ancient magic.
In the 15th Century in the remote Austrian Alps, the orphan Albrun (Celina Peter) grows up to be a simple goatherd living in solitude…and a marked woman. As a scapegoat of ancient myths and monstrous misogyny, Albrun (portrayed by Aleksandra Cwen as an adult) finds herself tormented by the local townsfolk, driving her to unleash the inner darkness that swells within her. A self-styled witch, Albrun soon exercises her other-worldly birthright and conjures a plague that makes the surrounding human cruelty look pathetic and small by comparison.

GAGS THE CLOWN
Pennywise and Art the Clown are going to make a new friend in Gags the Clown, now streaming on SCREAMBOX.
The film takes place eight days after the clown arrives in Green Bay, WI. Now, throughout one night, four different groups of people cross paths with the clown everyone calls “Gags” and his true intentions are finally revealed.
Our very own Patrick Bromley reviewed the film, celebrating “the streak of incredibly dark humor that runs through it,” while also promising quite the payoff.
The feature film debut for director Adam Krause was inspired by the viral media frenzy and worldwide phenomenon of ‘clown roaming’ sparked by his sixteen-minute short film “Gags” in 2016.
