Another Shot of Dylan Minnette From Inside Netflix’s ‘The Open House’
You can’t lock out what’s already inside.
Netflix shared with Bloody Disgusting a new image from the thriller The Open House featuring Don’t Breathe, Goosebumps, and “13 Reasons Why” star Dylan Minnette.
The Open House centers on a teenager (Minnette) and his mother (Piercey Dalton) who find themselves besieged by threatening forces when they move into a new house.
The below trailer promises the perfect post-holiday thriller, kicking off the New Year with a horror film that looks like it takes inspiration from The Shining and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”. In The Open House, Minnette and his character’s mother move into a new town that’s soaked in suspicion. The people in the town are strange, but how does that tie into the even more bizarre occurrences taking place within locked doors. Someone or something is already inside.
The Open House was written and directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote will premiere everywhere Netflix is available January 19, 2018.
The film is produced by Dan Angel and Chip Rosenbloom.
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.
