‘District 9’ Star Wakes Up In Terrifying ‘Open Grave’ With Trailer, Art and Stills!!!
Not to be confused with the 2010 Open Graves starring Mike Vogel and Eliza Dushku, it looks like the Nala Films-produced Open Grave is getting released.
Bloody reader ‘Fabien M.’ sent us links to an Italian trailer, art and the first stills for the Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego-directed thriller that centers on a man who wakes up in a remote wilderness with no memory in a pit full of dead bodies and must determine if the murderer is one of the strangers who rescued him, or if he himself is the killer.
The movie was made back in 2012 after years in development, and stars Oldboy and District 9‘s Sharlto Copley, Thomas Kretschmann, Josie Ho, Joseph Morgan, Erin Richards, and Max Wrottesley.
Personally, I think the trailer looks absolutely terrible, but I do like the stills and the concept. Hopefully, the trailer editor just blows…
Lopez-Gallego helmed the awful Apollo 18 for Dimension Films.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
