Christina Hendricks Hears ‘Strangers’ At Her Door
Here’s a new sneak peak photo from Aviron Pictures’ The Strangers: Prey at Night, in theaters on March 9, 2018.
The franchise reboot of Bryan Bertino’s cult classic The Strangers follows the infamous slasher trio of Dollface, Pin-Up Girl, and the Man in the Mask as they stalk their victims in a mobile home park. The photo, courtesy of USA Today, shows the star of the hotly anticipated next installment, “Mad Men’s” Christina Hendricks.
Director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down) is proving to have a uniquely talented eye for staging cool sequences as The Strangers: Prey at Night looks downright entertaining, a complete juxtapose of Bertino’s predecessor.
In the film, “A family’s road trip takes a dangerous turn when they arrive at a secluded mobile home park to stay with some relatives and find it mysteriously deserted. Under the cover of darkness, three masked psychopaths pay them a visit to test the family’s every limit as they struggle to survive.”
Christina Hendricks, Bailee Madison, Lewis Pullman, and Martin Henderson star, with Emma Bellomy as DOLLFACE, Lea Enslin as PIN-UP GIRL, and Damian Maffei as the MAN IN THE MASK.
Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down) directed. Bertino and Ben Ketai wrote the script.
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.
