Grind clip

“Barry” and Freddy vs Jason actor Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette attempts to stave off work insanity in our exclusive clip from horror anthology Grind.

Grind makes its world premiere tonight at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

The comedic horror anthology spins four interconnected tales of workplace horror that tackle the most terrifying aspect of modern life: making a living. In the clip below, Marquette’s Joel finds himself dealing with terrifying threats while moderating online content, though he can’t let the cracks show to his boss.

SXSW breaks down the anthology even further, with the segments following “the hustle culture of an MLM, the endless repetitiveness of a food delivery driver, the online horrors of a content moderator, and the unionization of a familiar-feeling coffee shop. “Grind” shows what it means to be a worker in a world defined by wealth inequality and ruled by endlessly greedy oligarchs, one not so far removed from our own.”

The ensemble cast also includes Rob Huebel, Barbara Crampton, Vinny Thomas, Jessika Van, James Urbaniak, Courtney Pauroso, James Paxton, Ify Nwadiwe, and Aubrey Shea.

Brea Grant (Torn Hearts, 12 Hour Shift), Ed Dougherty, and Chelsea Stardust (Satanic Panic) direct from a script by Grant and Dougherty. Stardust produces.

Ahead of Grind‘s premiere tonight, Deadline reports that Yellow Veil Pictures has boarded sales of the project.

Grind subverts the anthology genre by creating something more cohesive, more interconnected and by doing so wonderfully plays on so many feelings we are all struggling all while providing a great deal of laughs along the way,” says Yellow Veil Co-Found Joe Yanick, “ It’s the perfect kind of film to play before SXSW audiences, and we can’t wait to hear their reactions.”

Stay tuned for more from Grind and SXSW as the fest gets underway today.

Horror journalist, RT Top Critic, and Critics Choice Association member. Has appeared on PBS series' Monstrum, served on the SXSW Midnighter shorts jury, and moderated horror panels for WonderCon, SeriesFest, and Popcorn Frights Film Fest.
