Is Bigfoot Real or Just a ‘Hoax’?
Principal photography has just begun on the nature survival horror feature Hoax, which tackles the infamous yet ever elusive Bigfoot. The film is being shot in Lake City, Colorado.
“Hoax tells the story of an investigation into a camping trip gone wrong, turning into a fight for survival when the team, including a brilliant primate specialist and led by a ruthless television producer, must come to grips with the possible existence of Bigfoot.”
The movie stars Ben Browder (“Farscape”, “Stargate”), Hutch Dano (“Zeke and Luther”, Zombieveavers), Cheryl Texiera (“Girl Meets World”, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), Shoshana Bush (Fired Up), Brian Thompson (Dragonheart, Joe Dirt), Max Decker (“All My Children”, “Days of our Lives”), Matt Reidy (“Scandal”, “Mad Men”) and Anthony Ray Parker (The Matrix, The Frighteners).
Directed by Matt Allen and produced by Mitch Dickman and Michael Haskins, Hoax will feature SFX and make up from William Munns (Return of the Living Dead, Swamp Thing, The Beastmaster) and an original score from Alan Howarth (They Live, Stargate, Big Trouble in Little China), who will also provide the sound design.
Below are some locations photos, which showcase just how beautiful yet dangerous and remote the setting is.
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.
