Orion Carves Out New ‘The Prodigy’ Imagery
Orion Pictures is getting in the holiday spirit with new images from The Prodigy, opening in theaters on February 8, 2019.
The Prodigy tells the story of a young mother (Taylor Schilling) who, concerned about her 8-year-old son’s (IT‘s Jackson Robert Scott) disturbing behavior, thinks something supernatural may be affecting him.
The trailer pulled from classics such as The Omen and Bad Seed with a horrifying twist that looks surprisingly fresh, which shouldn’t come as a shock considering The Pact‘s Nicholas McCarthy is directing.
Here are a handful of new images that come on the heels of news that the movie may have a scene so scary, it forced the filmmakers to re-edit it.
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.”
