Meet the Sub of Terror in First ‘Phantom’ Image
*Update: Sub poster and image are NOT from movie, but art.
RCR and Trilogy Entertainment has now unveiled the first image and official Facebook for their deep sea horror film that takes place at the height of the Cold War.
Phantom, which is written and directed by Todd Robinson, begins when “a Soviet diesel-electric submarine attempts to launch a nuclear weapon at the United States Navy’s Pacific Fleet. In the end, one man stood between the apocalypse and the survival of mankind. But, in the indigo depths of the South Pacific, man and machine are not alone.”
William Fichtner (Drive Angry 3D), David Duchovny (“X-Files”) and Ed Harris (The Abyss, A History of Violence) star.
The film teases “someTHING” aboard their vessel. “When the captain of a Soviet nuclear submarine (Ed Harris) is forced to leave his wife and child to be rushed into a secret assignment, he finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his past. He is challenged by the leader of a Soviet Special Forces Team (David Duchovny), whose mission is cloaked in mystery. Faced with an impossible choice and the threat of a nuclear missile attack on the American Pacific fleet, the fate of humanity rests in his hands.”
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
