Preview the chaotic, climactic battle with Bigfoot in our exclusive clip from Squatch below.
The indie horror adventure will be released on VOD next Tuesday, March 10, via Freestyle Digital Media.
It centers on Nick Peters, who has spent his entire life without his estranged father. Living in a small working-class town with his mother, he unexpectedly inherits his father’s estate including a remote cabin in the deep northern woods.
Wanting nothing to do with it, he’s ready to walk away until Cassie, the coworker he’s pined for, offers to go with him. What begins as a weekend of closure quickly descends into a fight for survival. As they cross into a world untouched by man, they come face-to-face with a myth that has finally stopped hiding.
David Greathouse (Tusk, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) designed the titular creature, played by professional wrestler Jacob Southwick — better known under the ring name Sawyer Fulton during his time in NXT.
Paige Weishuhn, Jack Chaney, and Cassandra Schomer also star. Tom Chaney (Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo) directs from a script he co-wrote with Bill Conger.
“We really wanted to make a movie about people that the audience cares about.” Chaney tells Bloody Disgusting. “Once our heroes are on the roller coaster of horror and adventure, you are riding it with them, because you care.”
Chaney, Jerry Land, Lawrence Berman, Andrew Ruth, and Susan Chaney produce, with Scott Agge, Robert Chames, George Ziyadeh, and Charles Chaney serving as executive producers.
