‘Triggered’ Images Wake Up with Suicide Bombs Strapped to the Chest
Samuel Goldwyn Films announced today that the company has acquired North American rights to Alastair Orr’s feature horror film Triggered, set for release later this fall.
Bloody Disgusting has the first shots from Triggered in which “Nine friends, all harboring a dark secret, go camping in the woods. After a wild night of partying, they wake up with suicide bombs strapped to their chests, all with varying times on their countdown clocks. They decide to work out how to disarm the bombs or find help – until they discover they can ‘take’ one another’s time by killing each other.”
The film stars Reine Swart (The Refuge), Liesl Ahlers (Daylight), Russel Crous (Escape Room), Steven John Ward (House on Willow Street), Cameron Scott, Paige Bonnin, Kayla Privett (Sniper Reloaded), Suraya Rose Santos (“Professionals”), Michael Lawrence Potter, Sean Cameron Michael (TV’s “Shooter”), and Craig Urbani (The Construct).
Watch for release news and a trailer soon.
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
