The film turns documentation into a source of uncertainty.

Recording events does not provide a stable reference in Log 15. A woman documents her attempt to find a cure for her mother’s Alzheimer’s disease, only to discover that the footage is changing. Official platform synopsis.

The premise places two kinds of uncertainty together: her effort to help someone close to her and the unexplained changes in the record she is making. The camera can no longer be treated simply as a witness whose images will remain fixed. Official platform synopsis.

The cure-seeking belongs to this fictional situation; the synopsis does not establish a treatment or a successful medical discovery. Its central horror device is the alteration of recorded material as the daughter’s own experience becomes harder to account for. Official platform synopsis.

Miller, Meg Moynahan, Jeff Ronan, and Jeanne Scurek in the cast. The film’s starting question is what a recording can prove when the recording itself will not stay the same.

Michael Dougherty’s character began in a hand-drawn short before appearing in Trick ’r Treat.

Sam’s purpose is to enforce Halloween’s customs. In Michael Dougherty’s fictional mythology, the small trick-or-treater treats costumes, shared candy, and jack-o’-lanterns as obligations with consequences for those who violate them. The creator’s official fictional mythology.

The character is positioned as an embodiment of the holiday rather than an ordinary child behind a mask. That role gives everyday seasonal actions a second meaning within the stories: participation acknowledges his rules, while destroying other people’s celebrations can draw his attention. The creator’s official fictional mythology.

Sam’s documented creative history begins in 1996 with Season’s Greetings, Dougherty’s hand-drawn animated short made while studying at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. He later appeared in Dougherty’s feature Trick ’r Treat. The official site also presents a 4K remaster of the original short with 5.1 audio. The creator’s character history.

The 2026 presentation builds on a reconstruction supervised by the director in 2004.

The restoration of The Devils involves both an editorial version and physical film materials. BFI Distribution identifies its foundation as a cut reconstructed in 2004 under Ken Russell and editor Michael Bradsell, working with Mark Kermode and Paul Joyce. BFI Distribution’s restoration account.

For the 4K picture restoration, Warner Bros. used the original camera negative at WB Water Tower Color. The sound work at WB Sound used an original composite 35mm magnetic film element. The picture and audio therefore come from separately identified source materials. BFI Distribution’s restoration account.

That technical history accompanies a film centered on Father Urbain Grandier in seventeenth-century Loudun. Oliver Reed plays the priest, who becomes the subject of accusations involving Sister Jeanne, played by Vanessa Redgrave. The accusations and their consequences are part of Russell’s historical dramatization. BFI’s film synopsis and cast record.

David Watkin handled cinematography, Derek Jarman designed the production, and Shirley Russell designed the costumes. Their work belongs to the 1971 film; the later restoration and reconstruction determine how that existing material is assembled and presented. BFI Distribution’s restoration account.

The haunted attraction in Slayground is Metal Mike Graves’s workplace. He wakes there among the bodies of his co-workers, unable to remember how they died or how he arrived in that situation. A24’s official synopsis and credits.

That gap gives him two problems at once. He needs to reconstruct what happened, and he must do so while a statewide manhunt is underway. A24’s synopsis leaves open the possibility that the evidence will point back toward him. A24’s official synopsis and credits.

The premise places a professional performer of fear inside an actual crime scene. His work normally depends on staged danger; the deaths make the attraction a place he has to investigate.

A24’s cast includes Cory Michael Smith, Chase Sui Wonders, Sophie Wilde, Stanley Simons, James Badge Dale, Stephen Root, Chris Sullivan, Young Mazino, Imogen Poots, Matty Matheson, and Macon Blair.
