‘KnifeCorp’ Salespeople Get Into a Knife Fight With Kane Hodder [Trailer]
A group of door-to-door salespeople ends up knocking on the wrong door.
It’s knife salespeople vs. horror icon Kane Hodder in the slasher, KnifeCorp, acquired by Cinedigm Corp for release in North America later this summer.
Hodder, who is known to horror fans for playing Jason Voorhees in four of the Friday the 13th films, stars alongside Sleepaway Camp‘s Felissa Rose, with Peter Gilroy (The Disaster Artist) and Boone Platt (Black Lightning).
In the film… “When a group of young idealistic salespeople set out on their first day with KnifeCorp, they have no idea they may not survive. While making his rounds, naive and ambitious high school senior, Wally Banks, mistakenly seeks the business of a dangerous recluse (Hodder), who is all too eager to test out the product. When the young man unknowingly stumbles upon a dangerous secret, his goal changes from making the sale to making it out alive. “
Directed by Zach Zorba Grashin, Knifecorp is said to be a throwback to classic slasher films and reflect the current popular resurgence of retro horror.
“When young salespeople go door-to-door selling very sharp knives to strangers, what could possibly go wrong? Especially if Kane Hodder, as a menacing would-be customer, answers the door?” asked Melody Fowler, Vice-President of Acquisitions at Cinedigm. “Knifecorp answers those questions and more with great exuberance and a high body count. The film combines the terror of a slasher with the humor and self-referential awareness of the best ‘90s teen horror films.”
Here’s the trailer.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
