What a Lame ‘Under the Mountain’ Poster, First Still
I feel like I’ve entered the Twilight Zone as the first one sheet for Under the Mountain resembles incredibly lame posters like the one for Disney’s Race to Witch Mountain. This ain’t no Disney movie, or is it? In addition to the one sheet, you can also take a peak at the first official still, also quite disappointing. But alas, the film is directed by Jonathan King, who brought us the over-the-top gorefest Black Sheep, and stars one of my favorite actors, Sam Neill, who starred in such classics as In the Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon, The Omen III, Jurassic Park, and the forthcoming Daybreakers. How can is be bad?
When teenage twins Rachel and Theo investigate the creepy old house next door, they discover the Wilberforces – shape-shifting creatures that lurk beneath Auckland’s ring of extinct volcanoes. Guided by the mysterious Mr Jones and with the help of their older cousin Ricky, the twins must rekindle the unique powers they once shared if they are to destroy this ancient evil – before it destroys them.

Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
