‘Devil’s Bridge’ Promises Deliverance For Wolf Creek Fans
We’ve got a look at a few stills (with more to come) on a new indie called Devil’s Bridge. Directed by Chris Crow, the film is described as Wolf Creek meets Deliverance and has recently picked up distribution in the UK, Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand.
“Devil’s Bridge’ is a stark, psychological thriller / survival horror. The protagonist Sean’s (Joseph Millson), livelihood is on the rocks, so he sets out to meet an underworld specialist who can facilitate an off-the-books solution to his failing business. Heading into the rural isolation of Wales with his friends Adam (Michael Jibson) and Danny (Gary Mavers), Sean finds himself in unknown and deeply alien territory, and they cross paths with William Parry (Joshua Richards), a hardened farmer, consumed by paranoia and a lifetime of bitter resentment, a powder keg ready to blow. Their encounter spins out of control, spiraling into a horrific ‘Heart of Darkness’ spree of violence and revenge as William hunts them through a stark and unforgiving terrain.”

Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
