‘Final Destination 4’ Release Makes 2009 3-D Summer
Every year horror has a new theme and what you can look forward to in 2009 is 3-D and New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures have slated Final Destination 4 for release on August 14, 2009. The film joins two other 3-D horror films, Lionsgate’s My Bloody Valentine (January 23) and Dimension Films Piranha 3-D (July 24). David Ellis’ FD4 kicks off when a teenager’s premonition of a deadly racecar crash spares his life and those of a few lucky others. But death continues to stalk those who escaped it.
The trailer for the upcoming found footage horror movie Sundown seeks to determine whether its haunting is demonic or dementia.
The found footage nightmare is set to premiere at Mad Monster Party in North Carolina and Houston Horror Film Fest in August.
In Sundown, “Mary, whose husband has recently died of dementia, claims his spirit is haunting her house. When her estranged son Chris learns that Mary believes she is being haunted, he arrives with his filmmaker friend Bill and a spiritualist named Clarissa with the intention of proving to Mary that it’s all in her head. They soon discover the truth is far more disturbing than they could have ever imagined.”
Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night, Haunt), Emily Sweet (V/H/S/95, Castle Freak), Chris Alexander, Kelly Waters, Erich Rausch, and Michael Leavy (Terrifier, Stream) star.
Sundown is directed by Marcus Slabine (The Dark Offerings) and Brian Klingborg, who also wrote the screenplay.
“The second I read Brian’s script, I knew I wanted to direct it. It had everything I love about horror: grounded characters, mounting tension, and a mystery that keeps getting darker the deeper you go. I feel when found footage is done right, we wanted every scare to feel earned and every performance to feel real, so when the horror finally hits, it hits hard. I’m incredibly proud of what our incredible cast and crew accomplished, and truly can’t wait to unleash the film onto the world,” Slabine said in a statement.
Klingborg adds, “The inspiration for SUNDOWN came from a true story that Chris shared with me about a death in his family. The strange and unsettling events surrounding that experience stayed with me and became the foundation for the screenplay. I wanted to explore the fragile line between love, grief, and horror, and how loss can leave us questioning what’s real. In an incredible twist of fate, we ended up filming SUNDOWN in the very house where the real events took place, adding an authenticity and atmosphere that we could never have recreated anywhere else.”
The upcoming film is not to be confused with Sundown, the vampire revenge movie from Rebekah McKendry.
