Enclosure screens Saturday, Nov. 5 at 3:20pm at The Tivoli Theater as part of this year’s St. Louis International Film Festival. Director Patrick Rea and co-writer Michelle Davidson will be in attendance. Ticket information can be found Here.
In this terrifying twist on the locked-room mystery, an adventurous woman who’s hiding a secret from her husband insists they reconnect by going on a romantic camping trip. But when a mysterious — perhaps supernatural — creature in the woods kills a nearby group of hunters, the couple is brought a little too close together. Forced to hunker down in their tent with a wounded survivor of the attack, the pair must determine whether the real threat is inside or outside their enclosure. Starring Fiona Dourif, Kevin Ryan, and Jake Busey, “Enclosure” is co-written by St. Louis native Michelle Bratcher Davidson, whose clever shorts (“The Perfect Note,” “A Senior Moment,” “The Girls...

It was back in October 2012 when we first heard about The Hourglass Figure, but now that it's wrapping up a successful festival run, the short's director, Patrick Rea, has given us the okay to share the whole film with Dread Central's readers.
The Hourglass Figure, from SenoReality Pictures, premiered at last year's Shriekfest and is next heading to the Macabre Faire Film Festival as part of Eternal Con, running June 14-15 in Garden City, NY.
It was written by Michelle Davidson and Amber Rapp and stars Davidson and Brian Paulette.
The short is about a mother who’s overwhelmed with housework and raising children. She finds an hourglass in her attic that gives her an extra hour in her day, but it comes with dangerous consequences.
Knowing Rea as well as we do, we're sure he's got at least a dozen irons in the fire and several more projects heading...
