‘The Carrier’ Infects the Cannes Market
Death is in the air…
Evolutionary Films, the London based sales and production company, have been appointed as international sales agent to represent the high-concept, sci-fi, action feature The Carrier, Bloody Disgusting learned out of Cannes.
The Carrier is said to be an edge-of-seat thriller about eight survivors who escape in a badly damaged commercial jet to avoid a pandemic that is ravaging the earth.
The survivors sacrifice everything to get on board, but soon discover that the infection is on the plane. How long can they stay airborne and what will be waiting for them if they land?
Evolutionary Films will launch the title to international buyers at the upcoming Cannes Film Market.
“When setting out to make The Carrier, it was my intention to make a fast paced, tightly plotted thriller in the style of some of my favourite films, examining the themes of science, religion and human nature,” said director Anthony Woodley.
The Carrier is produced by Luke Healy and Anthony Woodley, and is an intelligent outbreak thriller in the tradition of films such as 28 Days Later, Outbreak and Contagion.
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.
