‘The Chamber’: Here’s the Star of ‘Force Majeure’ Trapped in a Sinking Sub!
Here’s our first ever look at the tense underwater thriller The Chamber, which stars Swedish actor Johannes Bah Kuhnke in his first film role since the critically acclaimed Force Majeure propelled him to international recognition.
“In The Chamber, a special ops unit commandeer a commercial research vessel and it’s submersible to locate a mysterious item at the bottom of the Yellow Sea. When an explosion causes the sub to overturn and take on water the crew begins to understand that not all of them will escape and a fight for survival ensues.”
StudioCanal today confirmed their acquisition of underwater thriller following Friday’s World Premiere announcement within the FrightFest programme. Below is the film’s official one-sheet.
Shot in Wales, The Chamber also stars Charlotte Salt (The Muskateers), James McArdle (The James Plays), and Elliot Levey.
The Chamber is the first feature film from director Ben Parker who previously made the short “Shifter” that played at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas.
The film is produced by Jen Handorf, Paul Higgins and executive producer Hugh Spearing Production financing for the film comes from Fields Park Media Partners, Ffilm Cymru Wales and Great Point Media.
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.
