Blumhouse’s ‘Boogeyman Pop’ Premieres at Cinepocalypse Tonight!
Blumhouse has given Cinepocalypse the World Premiere of Boogeyman Pop, which takes place tonight at the Music Box Theater in Chicago at 10:15pm (get tickets here). We’ve been provided with the film’s first ever image and poster that are soaked in colors and give off a classic 80’s vibe.
Brad Michael Elmore directs the film, which is set over the course of one summer weekend.
In it, a bat-wielding, masked killer in a rusted- out black Cadillac weaves in and out of three interlocking stories awash in sex, drugs, punk rock, black magic, and broken homes.
Starring James Paxton (son of the late, great Bill Paxton) and produced by Rogue One screenwriter Chris Weitz, the film oozes with everything we love about genre cinema. The fest describes this as “punk rock filmmaking at its finest, and it’s one of those festival moments you won’t want to miss.”
M.C. Gainey and José Julián also star.
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.”
