Red Band ‘Isolation’ Trailer Tells Nine Stories of Survival Shot During Lockdown [Exclusive]
Gravitas Ventures and Kamikaze Dogfight exclusively shared with Bloody the red band trailer Isolation, a feature-length anthology that weaves together nine standalone-yet-interconnected tales of terror from all corners of the world as people confront their darkest fears, in an attempt to survive an increasingly deadly pandemic.
The film had its world premiere in London at FrightFest Uk 2021 and will have its North American premiere on October 15th at Screamfest LA, followed by a release on VOD platforms Friday, November 2nd, 2021.
Isolation was directed by Dennie Gordon (Jack Ryan, Legion, Hunters, Waco), horror legend Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter, Habit, Depraved), Bobby Roe (The Houses October Built 1 & 2), Andrew Kasch, (Tales of Halloween), Zach Passero (Wicked Lake) and Christian Pasquariello (Alien Invasion: S.U.M. 1). The anthology also gives rise to new voices in horror with films by Alexandra Neary (The Innocent), Alix Austin & Keir Siewert (Retch), and Kyle I. Kelley & Adam Brown (The Music Lesson).
“As a narrative framework, Director and Producer, Nathan Crooker created a fictional world many months into the future that is based around the current global pandemic,” explains the press release. “All eleven filmmakers used the same unifying framework in creating their stories. The filmmakers were tasked with how to stay creative using only what was available to them at the time. They were not allowed to use Zoom or any other video conferencing services and were only allowed to use the equipment and resources they had with them when they entered into lockdown, including cast and crew, adhering to their respective COVID-19 protocols.”
The film was produced by director/producer Nathan Crooker, through his company Ghost Gang Productions with the help of fellow producers James P. Gannon and Sophie Gold.
The next shark attack horror movie swimming our way this Summer is The Bay from Brainstorm Media, and Bloody Disgusting is exclusively debuting the official trailer today.
Francesca Eastwood (M.F.A., Clawfoot) stars in The Bay, which will notably feature an animatronic shark that’s been created by SFX and animatronics company Bischoff’s.
In writer/director Phil Volken’s The Bay, “When their tour boat sinks in a shark sanctuary, two best friends must fight for survival to escape the shark-infested waters.”
The film will be opening in theaters and on demand on July 17, 2026.
Watch the official trailer for The Bay down below.
Alexander Wraith, Dani Oliveros, and Ta’imua also star.
Phil Volken said in a statement, “I’ve made several films set on the open sea, and The Bay is the culmination of my experiences to date – with my crack team of regular collaborators, the movie is finely and expertly honed to maximize the combined fears of the ocean, the unknown, sharks and ultimately, just how cold-blooded nature can be – specifically human nature.”
“I’m delighted with the scale and performances we’ve delivered onscreen,” Volken continues. “The Bay’s going to completely immerse and terrify audiences worldwide!”
Phil Volken has indeed carved out a niche directing open sea-based movies over the years, including the thriller Extortion back in 2017 and the horror movie Dead Sea just last year.
