Here's a new idea. When a film just doesn't make the cut a studio is either forced or had planned to release it direct to video. Just think of all the animated Disney sequels that never saw the light of a projector. Well, AOL plans to try something a little different with Tara Reid's Incubus. Instead of going direct to video, this film will be one of the first to try direct to download.

Incubus Direct to Download


Beginning October 31, Incubus, a new full-length horror film, arrives as a new “direct-to-download” film premiering exclusively on AOL RED, the online home for teens at http://www.B-RED.com. The film, a psychological thriller starring Tara Reid as one of six teens on the run from a crazed killer with the power to control their dreams, will be available for download for 30 days.

Incubus can be purchased for a fee of $7.99 or rented for a 5-day period for just $3.49. With just one click, viewers can begin watching the film immediately after the download begins.

Incubus coincides with the launch of AOL’s RED offering on the open Web and exemplifies the type of edgy, relevant content that we have built our reputation and audience on,” said Malcolm Bird, Senior Vice President, Kids & Teens, AOL. “We’re very excited to work with the producers of Incubus to give horror fans the chance to watch this movie for the very first time.”



“Horror films traditionally have been very popular among teenage moviegoers and we felt that AOL RED represented a unique and effective way to directly target our key demo audience,” said Adam Shapiro of Automatic, the distributor of Incubus. His partner Sherman Sall added, “Movie fans are clearly seeking an alternative to the traditional in-theater experience. We think the Internet will emerge as a viable distribution method for new films, and we’re very happy to be at the forefront of this movement.”

Timed to the release of Incubus, AOL RED also announced its Scary Movie Contest, challenging fans to submit their own homemade scary movies. The finalists will be posted online and site visitors will be asked to vote for their favorite. The filmmaker receiving the most votes will be the winner. Information regarding the contest as well as additional exclusive Incubus content including the trailer, artwork, and an interview with Tara Reid will be found at www.B-RED.com.

About Incubus:
In 1995 the CIA suddenly abandoned its 20-year research into paranormal phenomena including mind control, out of body experience and lucid dreaming. The results of the study are still classified.

Fast forward to present day. On a stormy night, six teenagers break into what they think is an abandoned factory to seek shelter. They quickly find themselves trapped and realize too late, that THEY ARE NOT ALONE! Suspended in a triple-locked, shatter-proof clear cube, is a comatose patient, undergoing testing and experimentation. The bizarre patient and his horrific powers hold the key to their escape and ultimately their survival.

Stay tuned for updates.
