Sharks Attack in ‘Open Water 3 Cage Dive’ Trailer
The chances of dying from a shark attack just increased for three unlucky tourists.
Oddly enough, the Open Water franchise is thus far made up of films that weren’t originally intended to be sequels. Released in 2006, Open Water 2: Adrift was a standalone film that was released with franchise ties after the success of Chris Kentis’ low-budget film.
Similarly, this year’s Open Water 3 Cage Dive began its life as, well Cage Dive.
Lionsgate scooped up the film and made it part of the Open Water franchise, and today they’ve unleashed the trailer. You can check it out below, via Arrow in the Head.
Look for this one August 11th in theaters and on demand.
Cage Dive follows three American tourists making an audition tape of a shark cage dive for a reality TV show. A catastrophic turn of events leaves them stranded in the waters of South Australia surrounded by hungry great white sharks.
Joel Hogan, Josh Potthoff, Megan Peta Hill and Pete Valley 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.”
