Bigfoot Attacks in ‘Squatch’ Clip [Exclusive]
Preview the chaotic, climactic battle with Bigfoot in our exclusive clip from Squatch below.
The indie horror adventure will be released on VOD next Tuesday, March 10, via Freestyle Digital Media.
It centers on Nick Peters, who has spent his entire life without his estranged father. Living in a small working-class town with his mother, he unexpectedly inherits his father’s estate including a remote cabin in the deep northern woods.
Wanting nothing to do with it, he’s ready to walk away until Cassie, the coworker he’s pined for, offers to go with him. What begins as a weekend of closure quickly descends into a fight for survival. As they cross into a world untouched by man, they come face-to-face with a myth that has finally stopped hiding.
David Greathouse (Tusk, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) designed the titular creature, played by professional wrestler Jacob Southwick — better known under the ring name Sawyer Fulton during his time in NXT.
Paige Weishuhn, Jack Chaney, and Cassandra Schomer also star. Tom Chaney (Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo) directs from a script he co-wrote with Bill Conger.
“We really wanted to make a movie about people that the audience cares about.” Chaney tells Bloody Disgusting. “Once our heroes are on the roller coaster of horror and adventure, you are riding it with them, because you care.”
Chaney, Jerry Land, Lawrence Berman, Andrew Ruth, and Susan Chaney produce, with Scott Agge, Robert Chames, George Ziyadeh, and Charles Chaney serving as executive producers.

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
