Exclusive ‘Here Alone’ Clip Questions an Attack
Vertical Entertainment will release Rod Blackhurst’s post-apocalyptic thriller Here Alone, starring Lucy Walters, Gina Piersanti, Adam David Thompson, and Shane West, on March 31st.
Pat Torfe reviewed the film for Bloody, explaining that it “doesn’t do enough to stand alone.”
In Here Alone, “A young woman struggles to survive on her own in the wake of a mysterious epidemic that has decimated society and forced her deep into the unforgiving wilderness, until she encounters two other survivors who make her confront her past while putting all of their lives at risk.“
In this exclusive clip, a man and woman hit the road where they discuss an unexpected attack.
Here Alone is directed by Rod Blackhurst, written by David Ebeltoft, produced by Noah Lang, David Ebeltoft, Rod Blackhurst, Arun Kumar, and Josh Murphy, executive produced by Kevin Iwashina, Marc Bortz, Anthony Gentile, John Gentile, Kanwaldeep Kalsi, Nalit Patel, Paul Ebeltoft, Gail Ebeltoft, Sinan Germirli, Leigh Jones, Ian Keiser, Paul Pathikal, Bradley J. Ross, Brendan Walsh, and Eric Schultz, with cinematography by Adam McDaid, editing by Rod Blackhurst, and music composition by Eric D. Johnson.
The film previously played at the Tribeca Film Festival where it won the Audience Award.
The production companies were Gentile Entertainment Group and Preferred Content, presented by Lola’s Productions, in association with Manhattan Productions, Easy Open Productions, Young Gunner Films, and Unparalleled Productions with consulting from Relic Pictures.
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.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
