“This is in your mind! It is not real! You are real!” An early festival teaser has debuted for an indie horror film premiering this month at the 2024 Austin Film Festival, playing in their Dark Matters Features section. The film is called The Fetch, marking the feature directorial debut of indie genre filmmaker J.C. Doler, telling an eerie tale of grief & demons. Following the death of his only son, a grieving father is haunted by a terrifying demon known in Irish folklore as the Fetch. A fetch is a supernatural double or an apparition of a living person. The sighting of a fetch is regarded as an omen, usually for impending death… The indie film stars Robert Longstreet, Aleksa Palladino, Logan Donovan, Shannon Cochran, & Tripp Toupal. Well damn this looks actually quite scary and especially creepy with all the weird gross hands popping out of everywhere. Plus evil doppelgangers appearing randomly. Ah no, thank you. Horror fans should take a look.
Here’s the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for J.C. Doler’s horror film The Fetch, direct from YouTube:
Following the death of his only son, a grieving father is haunted by a demon known in Irish folklore as the Fetch. “In Irish folklore & literature dating back to the 1500s, writers from the island nation have written about mythical beings known as ‘Fetches‘ that haunt people whose days are numbered. According to legend, Fetches take on the physical form of the humans they visit — and if your own creepy doppelganger visits you in the evening, it means your death is imminent. But if they visit you in the morning, you can prepare yourself for a long life ahead of you.” The Fetch is directed by American genre filmmaker J.C. Doler, making his feature directorial debut after many short films previously. The screenplay is written by J.C. Doler and Paul Petersen; from a story by Taylor Bracewell, Chris Alan Evans, J.C. Doler, Paul Petersen. Produced by Logan Donovan, Alexander Jeffery, Paul Petersen, Brittany Fallow, Chris Alan Evans, & Doler. This is premiering at the 2024 Austin Film Festival in Texas this month. No other release is set – stay tuned.
