‘The Ones Below’ Will Have You Questioning Your Neighbors
Hanna writer David Farr is in post on his directorial debut, The Ones Below, an alleged nerve-shredding psychological thriller that makes you question how well you know your neighbors, Bloody Disgusting learned.
We scored the first photo from the pic that stars David Morrissey (Welcome to the Punch, Nowhere Boy, The Other Boleyn Girl), Stephen Campbell Moore (The Bank Job, The History Boys, The Children), Clémence Poésy (Harry Potter Saga, 127 Hours, In Bruges), and Laura Birn (Purge, Heart Of A Lion).
“Kate is pregnant. Theresa is pregnant and moving in to the apartment below, with her partner. When the two women meet one spring morning, a special bond forms, developing into an intimate friendship as they move closer to the births of their babies.
Until tragedy strikes. And changes everything. In the most violent and shocking way.
With echoes of Hitchcock and Polanski, ‘The Ones Below’ is a terrifying psychological thriller of love, betrayal and revenge, bringing one woman’s personal nightmares vividly to life, amidst the affluent loneliness of the modern city.”
The film is set to screen for buyers at Cannes.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
