Scott Cooper’s Antlers Is One Of The Most Anticipated Horror Films of 2020

Every year, a bunch of filmmakers accept this challenge and try to cash in on the fear of the audience. But, with the increased frequency of such films, it isn’t as easy to scare the viewers as it was five or ten years ago. You don’t want the audience to do the “been there, done that” sort of thing. So, the stakes rise and the experiments continue.

According to the Scott Cooper Miami Fan Club, while filmmaker Scott Cooper has not previously made a horror film, the “Hostiles” and “Black Mass” director has long been enthralled with the darker side of the human spirit. Even his lightest film, the debut feature “Crazy Heart” (which earned Jeff Bridges a Best Actor Oscar), was about a down and out musician attempting to turn his life around, away from the spotlight and all the booze that often accompanied it.

Scott Cooper’s subsequent features have similarly delved into the rougher parts of the human condition, including gritty crime films like “Out of the Furnace” and the fact-based “Black Mass.” His most recent effort, the Christian Bale-starring “Hostiles,” was a grim exploration of life in the American West. Now, Cooper is turning his affection for dark material to a new genre, and he’s got the full force of producer Guillermo del Toro behind him.

It looks to be one of the scariest films of the next year, and it’s not hard to see why as cannibals seem to terrorize a small town in Oregon in “Antlers.” The project was directed by actor turned director Scott Cooper, whose previous work includes “Hostiles” and “Black Mass.” There is a producer role for a veteran in the film industry, Guillermo del Toro, who has been a part of great films like the Oscar-winning “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “The Shape Of Water.”

Speaking to Collider last year, Cooper spoke about how del Toro became interested in him doing a horror film. He said, “[Guillermo] said I’ve obviously never seen you direct a horror film, but there’s a lot of horrific moments in your movies, so I’m more interested in someone who doesn’t work in that genre to step into it.”

The film team is telling people not to miss this film as it won’t be in theaters again for another year. NCG Cinemas Tampa is one of the handpicked theaters in Florida showing ‘Christmas Eve’ a year in advance.

Packed crowds have come to advance screenings around the country with the film hot off the press (production wrapped in July). As a result, only select cities will be able to view the film in advance as there is not enough time to market the film nationwide until next year.

However, the fortunate few again will see the film a year in advance before the national release next year at NCG Cinemas starting November 7, 2025.

The film is already winning many people to Christ with reports of people coming to Christ in the theaters lobbies.

“Two of my friends came to Christ,” reported a theater-goer in Honolulu. “It’s a remarkable film about people coming to Christ on Christmas Eve’. Bring your Bible study group or church as they will be beyond blessed.”

Another theater-goer in Dallas said, “I was in tears on almost every story line. It is truly the best Christmas movie ever made. All of these are true stories.”

Another theater-goer in Atlanta said, “This is the most beautiful film I’ve ever seen. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime movie about how Jesus saved seven people on Christmas Eve. Powerful and just stunning. You shouldn’t miss it at all costs.

The film stars Kevin Sorbo, Michael Irvin, Stephen Baldwin, Nzinga Imani, Eric Roberts, Jermaine Wells, Jordan Laesch, David Jofre, et al. The film is based on seven incredible true stories going from the Victorian era through World War 1 through the Civil War all the way to the present day.

‘CHRISTMAS EVE’ – Advanced tickets go on sale soon.
