A few weeks ago Deadline broke the news that “13 Reasons Why” and Cam star Devin Druid had been set to lead cast of the horror-western The Pale Door, which is executive-produced by “Cold In July” novelist and co-producer Joe R. Lansdale.
From writer-director Aaron B. Koontz (Camera Obscura), the film follows a gang of cowboys and a mysterious woman who seek shelter in a seemingly uninhabited ghost town after a disastrous train robbery. Seeking help for their wounded leader they are surprised to stumble upon a welcoming brothel in the town’s square but soon discover that the town is home to a coven of witches and blood-thirsty wolves.
The ensemble cast includes Zachary Knighton (The Hitcher), Melora Walters(Magnolia), Bill Sage (We Are What We Are), Pat Healy (pictured below; The Innkeepers, Cheap Thrills), Stan Shaw (Rocky), Natasha Bassett (Hail, Caesar!), Noah Segan (Looper, Late Phases) and Tina Parker (“Better Call Saul”).
“It’s 3:10 To Yuma meets The Descent, but doused, and then set on fire with psychological horror,” teases Koontz.
Here’s a look at the film’s official sales art out of the previous Cannes market.
