“Hell Will Rise” in ‘Day of Reckoning’ Production Poster
A production poster for the upcoming apocalyptic horror film Day of Reckoning has been released and gives you a look as to what the invading demons might look like. The poster was used at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, which is why there is a “visit us” message in the top left.
Joel Novoa (God’s Slave) is directing from a script by Gregory Gieras, who also penned Epic’s sci-fi film Big Ass Spider.
“The story is set in Los Angeles 15 years after the world suffered a horrendous disaster when demon-like-creatures invaded Earth and nearly destroyed mankind. Hurst plays mediocre husband and father David Shepperd, who tries to save his family when the demon creatures return to wreak havoc.”
The Grinder’s Hana Hayes, Jay Jay Warren, Raymond Barry (Justified, The 100), Barbara Crampton (We Are Still Here), Nick Gomez (The Walking Dead) and Randy Vasquez (Beverly Hills Cop) co-star. Filming is set to begin this week in Los Angeles.
Epic Pictures holds worldwide sales and distribution rights to the film. Its recent releases include Jeruzalem and Nina Forever.

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.
