First Look at ‘Martyrs’ Director’s ‘Incident in a Ghost Land’! [Exclusive]
The director of Martyrs is back for more mayhem, this time in Incident in a Ghost Land.
Ahead of the film’s screening at the forthcoming AFM in Santa Monica, CA, Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive first look at Pascal Laugier‘s newest film starring Mylène Farmer, Crystal Reed and Anastasia Philipps.
Last year, the script was described to me as being Stephen King-esque, and extremely dark and scary.
In the film, “Following her aunt’s death, Colleen (Farmer) and her two daughters – the eldest, Beth (Reed), totally locked-in and shy, finds comfort in the stories she invents in the books she writes, and Vera (Philipps), way more open and self-confident, inherit her house. However, during their first night in this new home, murderers break-in, pushing Colleen to fight to save her daughters’ lives. During this highly traumatic night, the girls’ disparate personalities diverge even further.
“Sixteen years later, Beth becomes a famous horror author with a perfect family and life in Chicago, while Vera can’t cope, and loses her mind faced to an unshakable sense of paranoia. Daughters and mother finally reunite at the house where Colleen and Vera still live. It is only then that strange events begin to take place…” Taylor Hickson plays a young Vera, while Emilia Jones appears as a young Beth.
Farmer is an extremely famous French singer who has sold more than 30 million records in France and is among the most successful recording artists of all-time there (Wiki). Reed is the star of “Teen Wolf” and has also appeared in Crush and Skyline.
Clement Miserez and Jean-Charles Levy produce Incident in Ghost Land, which filmed near Winnipeg. The film is due for worldwide release around April 2018.
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.
