‘He’s Out There’ Slasher Revealed in New Imagery
A few weeks ago we told you that the slasher He’s Out There is going direct-to-disc in the UK, with Splendid now listing the DVD and Blu-ray release as September 28, 2018. The film was always pegged as from the director of The Last House On the Left, Dennis Iliadis, only it’s all of a sudden listed as directed by Quinn Lasher. Who is this mysterious director? It’s probably a pseudonym.
Digressing, we have a handful of new images (one that pulls directly from the Friday the 13th films) that reveal the slasher in the film that stars “Dexter’s” Yvonne Strahovski.
“On vacation at a remote lake house, a mother and her two young daughters must fight for survival after falling into a terrifying and bizarre nightmare conceived by a psychopath.“
Also starring: Justin Bruening, Anna Pniowsky, Abigail Pniowsky, Julian Bailey and Ryan McDonald.
Dennis Iliadis previously directed Blumhouse’s Delirium and The Last House on the Left. He’s Out There marks Mike Scannell’s first feature screenplay. Rounding out the production team, Edward Wild is director of photography (London Has Fallen, Severance); Peter Cosco is production designer (Haunter); and Rick Shaine is editor (The Incredible Hulk, A Nightmare on Elm Street).
Produced by Sony’s Screen Gems, the script was originally titled “Scarecrow,” and was featured in the 2014 Blood List. Thanks to Fabien M. for the images.
No word on a U.S. release just yet, but we’ll update you as soon as we know more.
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.”
