May 16, 2010: MYSTIC PICTURES has acquired three new films for distribution in 2010.

From writer and director Amy Waddell comes the supernatural thriller THE BROTHEL starring Serena Scott Thomas (Hostage), Brett Cullen (GhostRider), Bruce Payne (Highlander:Endgame) and Grace Zabriskie (Big Love tv series). After her lover commits suicide, Julianne runs away from her life in the city and moves in the small ghost town of Jerome, Arizona. She purchases an abandoned brothel from the turn of the century, and sets to work turning it into a hotel; but in the process of restoring the past, she comes to know the ghosts of the brothel.

Next will be the Hungarian suspense thriller PINPRICK from writer and director Daniel Young. Lonely and living with her mother, a teenage girl hides a man in her bedroom closet, managing to keep his presence a secret. At first, the man and girl play games and flirt with each other, but slowly the man gets bored with her girly ways and starts to spy on the mother. But the real question begins to arise in the girl's mind… does the man even exist?

And from director James X. Loftus comes the political thriller TRADE ROUTES starring William Hope (Aliens), Marina Sirtis (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Ross McCall (Crash tv series). Set against an Eastern European election, multiple story lines revolve around Sarah, a young law student who joined the CIA to "contribute something" following September 11. Five years later, she's about to discover the cost.

THE BROTHEL, PINPRICK and TRADE ROUTES will be released in the second half of 2010 along with the Kubrick-style sci-fi thriller RADIANT on July 13th, and the taut bilingual thriller THE FRAGILITY OF SECONDS on July 20th.
