Val Kilmer Solves a Murder as ‘The Super’ [Cannes]
Voltage Pictures is bringing a new thriller to Cannes from Dick Wolf (“Law & Order”). Bloody Disgusting has the first images from The Super, which stars Val Kilmer as the title character, with Patrick John Flueger and Louisa Krause.
In the film,
“Former cop Phil Lodge (Patrick John Flueger) takes a new job as a superintendent in an expensive Manhattan hi-rise apartment building. When tenants begin disappearing with alarming frequency, Phil fears a sadistic murderer may be roaming the eerie corridors and that his daughters’ lives are in danger.
His prime suspect is the high-rise’s bizarre maintenance man, Walter (Val Kilmer), who lives in the cavernous bowels of the building. Walter speaks of mystical spells that can help track down the cause of the disappearances, but Phil suspects that he may just be trying to throw him off the scent of the killer.
But whom can he trust when everyone around him has something to hide, and the few people he does trust have been murdered? The Super plays into your deepest fears and asks whether anyone should ever really trust a stranger with a key to your house.”
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
