The short film stars Nick Principe (Laid to Rest, Hatchet II) and Jaquelyn Fabian. It's written and directed by newcomer Alex DiVincenzo.

"The premiere of The Horrors of AutoCorrect is a long time coming," says DiVincenzo. "I owe everything to my dedicatd cast and crew for helping to make it happen. I cannot thank Crypt TV enough for believing in the project. As an admirer of Eli Roth's work, it's an honor to be working with him." DiVincenzo is currently working on his next short, a '50s throwback titled Trouser Snake.

In The Horrors of AutoCorrect, Jenny's quiet evening at home watching a scary movie is interrupted by a stalker who can't quite master the art of text messaging. The result is a "sidesplitting, clever commentary on contemporary communication" (All Things Horror) that pays homage to such genre favorites as Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street 2.

Guy Henry and DONE IN Enter Eli Roth's Crypt TV


Dark Art Films' award-winning and critically-acclaimed short DONE IN starring Guy Henry will be released digitally on Sunday, June 14 through Hollywood filmmaker and actor Eli Roth's (HOSTEL) network Crypt TV, and will be available for free worldwide.

Dark and touching, DONE IN tells the story of a man writing a goodbye to the world while recalling memories of life in a country manor house.

Written and directed by Adam Stephen Kelly and produced by SJ Evans (DEAD OF THE NITE), the film had its world premiere as part of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 2014, which kick-started a highly successful big-screen tour at festivals around the world. The dark drama most recently screened at Cardiff Independent Film Festival, where it won the inaugural Brian Hibbard Award, in addition to receiving a nomination for Best Actor.

Guy Henry is best known for his roles as Henrik Hanssen in the BBC's long-running, BAFTA-winning series HOLBY CITY, and as Pius Thicknesse in HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS.

What the press are saying:

“It's no understatement to say Done In is a chilling piece of work handled brilliantly by Kelly with an impressive turn from Henry in the lead role.” - Daily Record

“Done In is absolutely one of the best short films I have seen.” - The London Film Review

“There are rare occasions when script and actor come together in such a succinctly perfect way. Such is Done In.” - Nerdly

Launched in 2014, Crypt TV specialises in delivering free short-form, horror-based content across social media, and has already racked up 2.5 million views across its network.

An online screener is available for review purposes ahead of release, as well as assets including production notes and high-resolution posters.

Writer/director Adam Stephen Kelly is available for interviews. He most recently directed the feature crime thriller KILL KANE starring Vinnie Jones.
