French Found-Footage ‘Cold Ground’ Freezes to Death (Trailer)
The lucky ones freeze to death…
Are you ready for a new French nightmare? Cold Ground is allegedly the first French found-footage movie.
The action is set in the 70’s, in the mountains. Melissa and David, two young journalists, leave for the French-Swiss border to investigate a strange case of cattle mutilations and record testimonies. Yet, once they get there, the scientific team they were supposed to meet has gone missing.
Cold Ground stars Gala Besson (Les garçons et Guillaume à table!, Horsehead, Little Gay Boy), Doug Rand (The Transporter, Arthur and the invisibles, Albert est méchant), Phillip Schurer (Black Venus, Ma Femme est une actrice), Geoffrey Blandin (Dead Crossroads, The Wild Diaries), introducing Maura Tillay and Fabrice Pierre.
“It’s been a tough January for the team. We spent most of the month shooting in the snow, in extreme conditions, sometimes in dangerous places,” said director Director Fabien Delage post shoot. “Shooting in the cold night and day isn’t easy and I’d like to thank the cast and crew for their efforts and involvement. This adventure could not have been possible without them and the result will live up to all our expectations.”
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
