THE OCCULT Screens for FREE at Emagine Rochester on July 17

Horror aficionados, mark your calendars for a spine-chilling evening as The Occult, the latest supernatural thriller from director Peter Hyoguchi, descends upon Emagine Rochester Hills for a one-night-only screening event. Set for Wednesday, July 17, 2024, this free screening promises to be an immersive experience that will plunge attendees into the heart of cinematic terror.

The evening kicks off at 7:00 PM with an introduction to the film, followed by the main feature at 7:10 PM. The Occult weaves a dark tale of seduction and sinister forces, as a young man falls prey to a mysterious fortune-teller who lures him into a world of unspeakable horrors. Hyoguchi’s masterful blend of traditional and cutting-edge virtual production techniques promises to deliver a visually stunning and psychologically gripping experience that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

But the thrills don’t end when the credits roll. At 9:00 PM, horror enthusiasts will have the rare opportunity to participate in an in-person Q&A session with director Peter Hyoguchi himself. Adding to the star power of the event, horror legend Tom Holland will join the discussion via Zoom. Holland, known for his directorial work on cult classics like Fright Night and Child’s Play, brings his considerable expertise to The Occult in the role of Uncle Walter, the film’s diabolical antagonist.

Hyoguchi’s journey in filmmaking is as fascinating as his latest work. Peter Hyoguchi was raised in Los Angeles and learned the craft of visual story-telling at a very young age. He started creating his own cartoons by the age of ten. By the age of 15, his sci-fi short The Future’s Future won George Lucas’ Youth Film Festival in 1988 and aired on PBS. In 2012 he founded the VFX company Roninfilm which created CGI effects for the SyFy Channel. He is a two-time recipient of the Epic MegaGrant for Gods of Mars which utilized a new kind of virtual production pipeline with a team of game designers and Oscar-winning visual effects artists.

This screening is part of Hyoguchi’s ambitious nationwide tour, bringing The Occult directly to theaters and horror fans across the country. It’s a unique approach that allows audiences to experience the film as it was meant to be seen – on the big screen, surrounded by fellow fright enthusiasts.

While the screening is free, horror fans should note that seating is limited to the auditorium’s capacity. To secure your spot in this night of terror and cinematic artistry, visit TheOccultMovie.com to reserve your tickets in advance.
