‘Chained’ To Be Unveiled At TIFF
It’s just been announced that Myriad Pictures has just picked up Chained and will be handling the pic’s international sales at the Toronto International Film Festival next week. Anchor Bay has the U.S. rights and is planning an early 2012 release.
Chained was directed by Jennifer Lynch (Surveillance, Boxing Helena) and stars Vincent D’Onofrio (“Law And Order: Criminal Intent”, Full Metal Jacket), Julia Ormond (Man Of Steel, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button) and Eamon Farron (Blessed, “The Pacific”).
The pic is “the story of a serial killer ( D’Onofrio) who kidnaps a 9-year-old boy. Now a teenager, the boy learns the only way to survive is by following in the killer’s footsteps. He must make his move to escape before he becomes like the monster that now considers himself his father.”
A family sinks their teeth into a vicious vengeance quest in the first images from supernatural horror movie Sundown.
The latest from director Rebekah McKendry (Glorious, All the Creatures Were Stirring) has its World Premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival on August 13, 2026.
Sundown stars Olwen Fouéré (The Watchers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Camille Sullivan (Shelby Oaks, Hunter Hunter), and Summer H. Howell (Mike Flanagan’s “Carrie“) as the central family who’ll encounter what appear to be rather monstrous vampires.
The film follows “three generations of women who reunite in a remote cabin to avenge a loved one’s death, only to discover their captive isn’t who he seems to be and his family is closing in, waiting for sundown.“
Rebekah McKendry directs from a script by Glorious collaborators Joshua Hull and David Ian McKendry.
Daniel Bernhardt (Deathstalker, John Wick), David Alpay (“From”), Kyle Mac (Carrie 2013), Elisa Paszt, Junko Bailey (The Grudge 2019), Megan Best (Time Cut), and David Ian McKendry round out the cast.
The horror film features special effects makeup from Patrick Baxter (“Alien: Earth”, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), and other effects from Creature Cabin and Steven Kostanski’s Action Pants FX.
Producers include Pasha Patriki (Deathstalker), Michael Paszt, Andrew Thomas Hunt, & James Fler of Raven Banner (V/H/S/94, Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon) and Juliette Hagopian (Hunter Hunter). Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash executive produces via his BerserkerGang label alongside Michael Vasicek, Michael Da Silva, and Rodrigo Gudiño.
“Sundown is great,” said Slash. “It is a super tense family vs monster tale that is as claustrophobic as it is terrifying.”
