Frank Sabatella, director of Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet, is back with The Shed.
Starring Frank Whaley (Vacancy), Cody Kostro (Worst Friends), Sofia Happonen (Women of a Certain Age), Timothy Bottoms (Parasomnia, Last Picture Show), and Jay Jay Warren (“Bosch”), the film is a Bigger Boat production, the company behind Frozen, Saw VI-Jigsaw, and the forthcoming Pumpkinhead remake. Peter Block and Cory Neal (Hatchet) produce.
Here’s a lengthy synopsis from the sales agent to go along with a new batch of stills:
“As an orphan, living with his abusive Grandfather, life sucks for Stan. But he’s got it better than his best friend Dommer who he regularly has to defend against the school bullies. And now their best friend Roxy, Stan’s secret crush, has fallen in with the cool crowd who harass them daily. But these “monsters” in Stan’s daily world are nothing compared to the monsters of Stan’s nightmare come to life. When Stan finds a murderous creature of the night has taken refuge in his backyard toolshed – and killed his Grandfather – he can’t go to the cops who’ll likely put him in foster care. While Stan tries to battle the demon alone, Dommer thinks it’s the solution to their bully problems, if only they can lure the bullies to the Shed. Will it bond the friends, tear them apart or just get them killed? Sometimes monsters turn regular folks into heroes, and sometimes they just turn them into different monsters.“
The thriller recently wrapped filming in upstate New York and is eyeing a 2019 festival run.
