Film 'Corpus' Debuts at Fantasia International Film Festival

Corrin Evans' feature debut, the psychological horror film "Corpus," premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival. Set in the summer of 1998, the story follows New York nightlife photographer Sayo (Jeff Wahlberg), who also deals small amounts of drugs, as he accepts an invitation from his former lover and rising actor Vince Marlowe (Brodie Townsend) to a secluded upstate manor. Along with their reckless friend Ross (Michael Vlamis), the trio encounters three enigmatic women—Billie, Wren and Cata—whose unsettling behavior turns the weekend into a surreal and disturbing experience.

Reviews describe the film as a slow‑burn horror that rewards patient viewers, highlighting its hypnotic rhythm, atmospheric cinematography, and late‑90s nightlife aesthetic. Critics note the opening sequence’s uneasy photoshoot that sets a tone of dread, and praise Evans’ visual storytelling while warning that the deliberate pace may challenge some audiences.
