‘Ash and Bone’ Trailer Aims to Bring Back the Slashers of the 2000s [Exclusive]
Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive trailer premiere for Ash and Bone, starring “NCIS New Orleans” and I Spit On Your Grave Déjà vu’s Jamie Bernadette
The film follows a rebellious teen named Cassie Vanderbilt (Angelina Danielle Cama), whose wild streak escalates as her caring father Lucas (Harley Wallen) decides to take her and his new wife Sarah (Kaiti Wallen) out of the city for some bonding and quality time together. But after Cassie crosses the infamous McKinley family (Jimmy Doom and Erika Hoveland), it becomes clear that sometimes danger lies hidden in the weeds, ready to strike at any moment.
Harley Wallen directed from a script by Bret Miller. Mel Novak (Bruce Lee’s Game of Death) also stars in Painted Creek Productions, Cama Productions and Auburn Moon’s Ash and Bone. Calhoun Koenig (“Law & Order SVU”) and Shane Hagedorn (Wild Faith) round out the cast.
“I wanted to make a film in the style of the mid-2000 horror films such as House of Wax, The Hills Have Eyes and Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” said Wallen. “l wanted to follow up Agramon’s Gate with a more raw and imposing horror film.”
The film is currently in post-production.
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.
