Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment’s Crackle Plus has announced today the upcoming pre-summer premiere of original action-horror film The Clearing on June 4th, 2020.
We’re debuting the action-packed trailer for The Clearing here on BD today, which promises fun zombie entertainment while we’re bored and stuck at home. You’ll find it below.
The movie, only available on Crackle beginning June 4th, stars Liam McIntyre (“Spartacus”) as a father who takes his daughter, played by Aundrea Smith (“Diary of a Future President”), on a weekend camping trip during a mysterious disease outbreak. The film also stars Sydelle Noel (“G.L.O.W.”) and Steven Swadling (“Kickboxer”).
Set at the dawn of a zombie apocalypse, The Clearing unfolds amid tensions between Tom (McIntyre) and his wife (Sydelle Noel) over his parental responsibilities and the time he spends with his young daughter Mira (Smith). Tom takes Mira on a camping trip, only to discover the impending disaster that leaves the pair trapped in a clearing in the woods, fighting to make it out alive.
The Clearing marks writer-director David Matalon‘s feature directorial debut, and he says his goal was to pay homage to zombie tropes while putting his own spin on the sub-genre.
“For the segment of our audience that loves zombie movies, The Clearing follows in the footsteps of our other horror offerings, such as Office Uprising and the Dead Rising film series,” said Philippe Guelton, President of Crackle Plus. “This film will deliver an action-packed distraction that our fans are craving right now.”
As a partner exclusive, the film will debut on May 25 on the Crackle Channel on Amazon Fire TV devices, available for early access in 34 million U.S. homes.
Crackle is available on Amazon FireTV, RokuTV and devices, Apple TV, most Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Vizio), Gaming Consoles (PS4 and XBoxOne), on iOS and Android mobile devices and on desktop at Crackle.com.
