SUPERNATURAL NIGHTMARE “IT FEEDS” POSSESSES THEATERS AND VOD THIS APRIL; STILLS AND TRAILER

Fans of the supernatural have a new film coming their way this year, thanks to Black Fawn Distribution and director Chad Archibald. IT FEEDS will make its way across Canada with theater screenings this spring, before releasing to streaming and eventually physical media later in the year. Ahead of its release, the distributor has shared new stills and a trailer.

From the press release:

“Black Fawn Distribution is excited to announce the acquisition of Chad Archibald’s mind-bending new horror feature, IT FEEDS. Get ready for a wild ride as the film is set to hit theaters across Canada this April. IT FEEDS will also be available on video-on-demand (VOD) and Blu-ray, bringing the terrifying experience straight to your home this fall. To kick things off, the pulse-pounding trailer and striking theatrical posters have just been released.

The film stars Ashley Greene (The Twilight Saga), Shawn Ashmore (The X-Men film franchise), Ellie O’Brien (Netflix’s My Life with The Walter Boys), Shayelin Martin (Wild Goat Surf), Julian Richings (Cube, Beau is Afraid), Juno Rinaldi (Workin’ Moms) and Mark Taylor (Cinderella Man).

‘It was a dream making this nightmare,’ states writer/director Chad Archibald. ‘It’s a film full of the things that terrify me the most and I think that will resonate with audiences when it hits theatres this April.’ For those who love the big screen experience, IT FEEDS will hit theatres on April 18th with advanced screenings of the film taking place across the country on April 16th as part of National Canadian Film Day. Reel Canada has partnered with Black Fawn Distribution to allow the first 50 people in for free at select theatres on April 16th, 2025.”

Those in the US can see IT FEEDS beginning April 18th in select theaters or from the comfort of their own hopefully unpossessed couch on major streaming services. As part of Black Fawn’s Blacklist package catalogue, IT FEEDS will see a physical release this fall, packaged with an assortment of collectibles.

IT FEEDS is written and directed by Chad Archibald. Archibald produced the film alongside Cody Calahan and Evan Ottoni for Black Fawn Films, and William G. Santor, Doug Murray and Morris Chapdelaine for Productivity Media Inc (PMI).
