Vacation Turns to Terror in ‘Hell Is Where the Home Is’ [Exclusive]
1inMM Productions is currently in post-production on the home invasion thriller Hell Is Where the Home Is starring Janel Parrish (“Pretty Little Liars”), Fairuza Balk (“Ray Donovan”, The Craft), Angela Trimbur (Trash Fire), Jonathan Howard (“Kingdom,” Megan Leavy), and Zach Avery (You’re Not Alone), Bloody Disgusting learned, while also exclusively sharing the first ever images.
The story follows two dysfunctional couples who are terrorized by a group of violent individuals during a vacation at a modern desert home.
The film, which just finished production in Malibu, marks the directorial debut of Orson Oblowitz, with a script from Corey Deshon.
The film is produced by Diego and Julio Hallivis (“The Hallivis Brothers”) for their 1inMM Productions. 1inMM Production, founded in 2013 by The Hallivis Brothers along with Zach Horowitz, launched a film fund earlier this year that is set to finance a slate of elevated genre projects. Hell Is Where the Home Is is the second feature from the slate. It follows 1inMM’s sci-fi thriller Curvature starring Lyndsy Fonseca, Glenn Morshower, Zach Avery and Linda Hamilton which had its world premiere at the recent Sitges and was acquired by Screen Media to be released Q1 of next year.
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.
