Synopsis
    
Jessica has never dreamed in her life but has had regular nightmares which the meaning escaped her. This peculiarity has led her to conduct studies which specialized in psychophysiology of dreams and to follow a therapy with Sean, her mentor and boyfriend, to try and understand the origins of her nightmares.
    
Following the death of her maternal grandmother whom she scarcely knew, Jessica must return reluctantly to the family home. Upon her arrival, she discovers that her late grandmother is resting in the adjoining room to her own during the wake.
    
After a rough first night made restless by a strange nightmare in which she meets her dead grandmother, Jessica suddenly becomes ill. Stuck in her bed with a high fever, the young woman decides to use her lethargic state to experience lucid dreams and thus to try and take control of her nightmares. Henceforth, on the advice of Sean, Jessica needs to breathe a little bit of ether when a crisis arises to sink deeper into the other world.
    
Jessica will begin to evolve in a nightmarish world and, gradually developing capabilities as a lucid dreamer, she will investigate to discover the evil that gnaws her and haunts the family house...
    
FEVER has been shot with RED digital cameras (with RED EPIC + RED MX and RED SCARLET as secondary cameras) with Vincent Vieillard-Baron as DOP, from a script co-written by Romain Basset and Karim Cheriguene (MIRAGES).

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has started production on the next installment of the horror genre hit, Wrong Turn.  Director and writer Declan O'Brien (Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, Sharktopus) returns to the helm of his third film in the franchise, with Doug Bradley, best known for his role of 'Pinhead' in the Hellraiser films, leading the cast.  Filming is underway in and near Sophia, Bulgaria and is expected to end May 5.
    
In the next chilling chapter of Wrong Turn, a small West Virginia town is hosting the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where throngs of costumed partygoers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals kill all the fun when they trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students who are dying for a good time.

When the Tales From The Crypt-styled horror anthology series launched in November of 2011, the first episode, "The Keeper" was immediately banned from Youtube and Vimeo for nudity and violence. Soon after, the production teamed with the popular horror website DreadCentral.com and it enjoyed a successful web run with over 80,000 views. In January the second episode, "Dummy" premiered to even larger numbers. Its trailer alone garnered another 90,000 views on Youtube. According to "The Keeper" director Chris St.Croix, "We realized that we wanted to do more episodes, but we didn't have the funding in place to make it happen fast enough." It was after both episodes were accepted into multiple film festivals that "Dummy" director David Buchert says they knew what they had to do. "Deciding to turn the series into an anthology feature made perfect sense. But we wanted to make sure we could have it out by Halloween 2012 and also keep the same high production values as the first two episodes."
    
So on April 24th, the IN THE DARK Indiegogo fundraising campaign begins. With two of the film's four episodic stories already completed (Fifty minutes of the final ninety minute film) the budget for the remaining two stories will be raised by pre-selling the finished IN THE DARK DVD. As a thank you and to tide supporters over until the film is completed in October, buyers will receive a private link to watch the first two stories now and for the first time in their full HD resolution. They are also offering some additional one of a kind items to supporters like the actual "Dummy" mask and axe and the full size creature costume from "The Keeper". "Expect completely different stories, styles and looks for the next two. And we promise, they'll still be as sexy, bloody and uncensored", says  St.Croix. So if you saw the first two episodes and want more or if you're new to the whole project, head over to   indiegogo.com/inthedark  , watch the brand new trailer, pre-order a DVD and be a part of this new way to support indie horror. As David Buchert explains, "We hope that fans of the first two episodes and all fans of indie horror check it out, pre-order the DVD and they'll get to  watch half of the film now! We can't wait to show them IN THE DARK."
