What’s Your Biggest Fear? ‘Run Like Hell’ (Exclusive)
Gravitas Ventures’ action/horror indie Run Like Hell will be available on VOD beginning September 23rd, 2014. Before they start their dash to terror, we’ve asked the cast and crew what they biggest fears were. Check out their answers below, and then share your own worst fears!
Produced by Two Guys and a Film (TGAAF), Run Like Hell builds out of a deceptively innocent road trip with two couples into a genre bending adrenaline rush of action filled horror. It’s said to have clever nods to past genre masters like Carpenter.
Run Like Hell is the narrative feature directorial debut of TGAAF principle James Thomas (Hard Sun, Broken Home) and the second feature filmed back to back under their shingle.
In it, “Four friends Dan, Samantha, Maggie and Luke, venture on their first road trip. Every year Samantha and Maggie (sisters), fly home to spend the Fourth of July with their parents, but this year Dan mapped out the PERFECT road trip. Along the way their car is stolen. With no car, no cellular service, and no one in sight, they are forced to seek the help small town locals of Harold and Nancy Johnson. The town’s real motives become obvious as the couples find themselves fighting to stay alive. When there’s nowhere to hide, all they can do is run like hell.“
The cast is led by a number of up and coming indie actors including Dave Finn (Happy Anniversary, Teen Vampire Angst), TGAAF principle Canyon Prince (Hard Sun, Zoolander), Robyn Buck Hard Sun, Prey For the Island), Tamara Carey (18 Year Old Virgin, Hard Sun), Aaron Rice (Redeeming Dave, The Cult) with J Michael Briggs (Army of Darkness, Hard Sun), and Jessica Cameron (Truth or Dare, Paranormal).
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
