Radio Silence is a trio of filmmakers based in Los Angeles. The group is known for V/H/S, Devil's Due, and Southbound, as well as their previous work together as Chad, Matt & Rob.
Radio Silence was formed in 2011 by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Justin Martinez and Chad Villella. The collective had worked together previously as Chad, Matt & Rob and were known for their unique blend of comedy, adventure, sci-fi and horror. Their most popular works include a series of Interactive Adventures and a collection of found footage prank films. Martinez later left the group.
Radio Silence's segment of V/H/S is titled 10/31/98 and the story is set on Halloween as a group of friends go in search for a Halloween party.
According to an interview with Complex, Radio Silence was brought into the V/H/S fold after producer Brad Miska saw Mountain Devil Prank Fails Horribly. Their segment was shot over four days around Los Angeles in August 2011.
The film was purchased at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival by Magnolia Pictures for slightly over $1 million.Limited theatrical release began October 5, 2012 in the United States and November 1, 2012 in Argentina. It was released onto DVD, Blu-ray, and digital download on December 4, 2012, and a limited edition VHS version was released on February 5, 2013.
In 2014, the group's horror thriller Devil's Due was released on January 17, 2014, by 20th Century Fox. Made for $7 million, the film went onto to gross $36.9 million.
Director Eli Roth was vocal in his support of the film and in a series of posts on his official Twitter account, wrote "Don't pre-judge Devil's Due because Rosemary's Baby is a 'holy grail' movie. It's so smart, creative, inventive, and fun. Very very scary. The guys at Radio Silence killed it. Devil's Due is a legit scary, smart, horror film. So many awesome scenes. I loved it." Scott Weinberg of Fearnet described the film as "a darkly passionate homage to Rosemary's Baby, the similarities are both intentional and affectionate."
