Image Entertainment, an RLJ Entertainment brand, has acquired North American rights to the indie Uncaged, which has first time feature director Daniel Robbins behind the wheel. The film was shot in New York and features Gene Jones (No Country For Old Men, The Sacrament).
In the film, “After several nights of waking up in the woods, a troubled teen straps a camera to himself to document how he’s getting there, only to find some things are better left a mystery…” Similar to Sinister, the film is said to marry found-footage with a more traditional shooting style, as shown in the below trailer.
What’s quite impressive about the Uncaged footage shared is the practical werewolf effects (the transformation scene specifically). It looks like fans of Late Phases have another Lycanthrope horror movie to look forward to!
Brooke & Will Blair (aka the Blair Brothers) will compose the score for Uncaged. Their previous films include Blue Ruin and Murder Party.
