A retro VHS-style trailer for the hilarious supernatural comedy has been released Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls. This is a supernatural horror film full of practical effects that made its big splash at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and audiences loved it!
The film comes from YouTube content creator Weird Satanist Guy aka Andrew Bowser, and is both the protagonist and the director of the film, it seems that he had a lot of fun making the film. I enjoyed the film and its bizarre silly atmosphere.
Bowser takes on the role of amateur occultist Marcus J. Trillbury, aka Onyx the Fortuitous, and he’s struggling. “He’s misunderstood at home and at work, but his dreams of a new life seem to be fulfilled when he lands a coveted invitation to his idol Bartok the Great’s mansion for a ritual to awaken the spirit of an ancient demon. He eagerly joins Bartok and his eclectic group of devotees as they prepare for the ceremony, but soon enough it becomes apparent all is not as it seems. As Onyx and his new friends fight to keep their souls, he must decide what he’s truly willing to sacrifice to meet his fate.
In my review of the movie, I said, “The movie is exactly what you’d expect from this guy, and it’s full of Bowser’s signature comedic style. It’s just deliciously goofy, supernatural fun! With all the dark and depressing movies I watch at Sundance, this is the kind of movie that lets me breathe a bit and rediscover the joy of watching movies all over again.”
Onyx the Fortuitous previously had this to say about the film: “I can’t wait to partner with Cineverse and Fathom to bring my film to the big screen! It will go down in history as the GREATEST HORROR TEAM OF ALL TIME. Unless you count Freddy versus Jason, WHAT I DON’T.
Bowser added, “Onyx started out as a quirky digital character that I hoped would find some sort of audience, even a small one. Seeing the growth in popularity over the past few years has been incredible, and now we’re gearing up for a big theatrical event. It simply demonstrates that if you are willing to showcase your art or yourself, amazing things can happen.
The film is also the protagonist Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Ralph Ineson, Rivkah Reyes, TC Carson, Arden Myrin AND Melanie Chandra.
Cineverse and Fathom Events will release Onyx the Fortuitous and Talisman of Souls in theaters nationwide on Thursday, October 19 at 7pm and 10pm local time.
