New Director, Cast and Title For Third ‘Butterfly Effect’
We originally reported that Anthony Leonardi was in talks to get behind the camera for the third BUTTERFLY EFFECT film… sometimes it doesn’t always pan out the way it appears. We learned this afternoon that Seth Grossman will direct the newly-titled Butterfly Revelation for After Dark Films. We were also tipped off that Chris Carmack will topline as Sam Reed in the film, which was written by Holly Brix. Inside you’ll find a more detailed synopsis.
A fatal fire in his childhood has somehow given SAM REED the capacity to travel back in time — a “psychic” talent that, thus far, he has used to help fight crime. But, in order to save an innocent man from the death chamber, Sam travels back to try and track the real killer of an old love — and winds up ripping a hole in the fabric of the past and unleashing a vicious serial slayer on an unsuspecting world…
Shooting is scheduled for August 25 – September 19 in Detroit.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
