Play a Sick and Violent Game With ‘Bloodhound’
Jason R. Miller, a friend of the site, is currently in production on Bloodhound, the follow up to his feature directorial debut Unidentified.
Bloodhound is described to us as a neo-noir, docu-style thriller in the vein of Se7en and Nightcrawler.
Miller is also known for producing the indie horror films Frozen, Hatchet 2 and Chillerama.
Ed Ackerman (Frozen, 17 Again) and David Foy (Hatchet 2) star in the film that also features Miles Dougal (Director’s Cut. Detroit Rock City), Jess Allen (Broken Glass), and Silvia Moore (Lords of Salem, Chillerama).
“In Bloodhound, private investigator Abel Walker (Ackerman) along with his cameraman, Jim (Foy), are on the hunt for a missing woman. As they unravel the mystery of her disappearance, they become caught in a sick and violent game that will end in murder.”
Miller is directing from a screenplay he wrote and the film is being produced by Unidentified Productions, which Miller formed with producing partners Parry Shen and Eddie Mui in 2013. James Rossi is executive producer.
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.
