On Demand Weekly helps you browse through the New Movies On Demand (MOD) this month with our October preview!

By Britt Bensen

MOD viewers can catch many entertaining titles on cable either before or the same day they premiere in theatres. In October, that group includes Nature CALLS, IN THEIR SKIN, THE DETAILS PRICE CHECK, THE COMEDY, UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: DAY OF RECKONING and FAT KID RULES THE WORLD. More details on those below. Plus, MOD features the world premiere of the film noir thriller, Hotel Noir. Also premiering are RUBY SPARKS and SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED, both of which have already received critical and audience acclaim. These entertaining indie films may not be widely available in local theaters.

SOUND OF MY VOICE follows couple Peter (Christopher Denham) and Lorna (Nicole Vicius) as they take their passion for documentary filmmaking to the next level by personally infiltrating a mysterious cult. The cult’s wildly charismatic leader Maggie (Brit Marling) has convinced her followers that she is a visitor from the future and that they have been chosen to survive, but only if they chose to follow her.

Bent on exposing Maggie, Peter and Lorna will do anything to prove that she is a fraud. However Maggie is as manipulative as she is beautiful, and they are drawn to her despite themselves. SOUND OF MY VOICE is a thought-provoking thriller that pulls the audience into Peter and Lorna’s journey of discovering what exactly is real and what is insanity. 

5 Things You Need To Know About SOUND OF MY VOICE

1. SOUND OF MY VOICE premiered in 2011 at the Sundance Film Festival.

2. Subsequently the film won the Golden Octopus award for the best international fantastic film at the Strasbourg European Fantastic Film Festival in September 2012.

3. Brit Marling, who plays Maggie, was involved with ANOTHER EARTH, which also premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011. She co-wrote and stars in both films, and while making them split her time by working on one in the mornings and the other in the afternoons.

4. The films director Zal Batmanglij was born in France and grew up in Washington D.C. He attended Georgetown University, where he was studying anthropology, when he met Brit Marling. While at Georgetown the two made three shorts together which all won the school’s highest prize for filmmaking.

5. Brit Marling stated that she and Zal Batmanglij discovered, while they were at Georgetown, that they shared a similar interest in films that were lyrical, beautiful, substantive, complicated, and dark. However, they also shared a common interest in big blockbuster films, and used SOUND OF MY VOICE as an exploration of merging these two things together.
