Trailer for ‘Cube’-Like Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Meander’ Gets Weird [Exclusive]
At long last, Hostile director Mathieu Turi is back with his insane sci-fi thriller Meander, in which a woman (Gaia Weiss; “Vikings”) wakes up in a strange tube full of deadly traps and her only option is to keep moving forward.
Bloody has the exclusive trailer drop that’s intense and nightmarishly claustrophobic, looking like a perfect blend of Vincenzo Natali’s sci-fi horror Cube and James Wan’s fierce torture film, Saw. It’s colorful, nasty, and filled with traps, not to mention creatures?
Written and directed by Turi, Variety has previously reported that the English-language film also stars Peter Franzen as a man whose “intentions are mysterious.” From the looks of it, he’s been trapped in this maze for a long, long time.
Gravitas Ventures will release the film in limited theaters and on VOD platforms July 9, 2021.
“You wake up.
You wear a futuristic suit.
You are stuck in an endless metal maze.
Every 8 minutes, you need to move forward or die.
The only reason to know why is to survive every death trap on your way.”
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.
