Anthology ‘Scare Package’ Gets Unpacked at Sitges
MPI/Dark Sky Films announced today that the upcoming meta horror-comedy anthology film Scare Package will make its World Premiere at Spain’s prestigious Sitges Film Festival.
Bloody Disgusting has the first images from Scare Package, which will have its premiere on October 4th at the Rialto theater as part of their Midnight Xtreme showcase. Director/Producer Aaron B. Koontz, as well as Producers Cameron Burns and Ashleigh Snead will be in attendance.
The film features a series of short segments taking aim at traditional genre tropes and overused clichés.
Each director has selected a different horror subgenre to showcase in a world where cell phones magically stop working and help is always a minute too late.
Scare Package features a diverse group of up and coming genre filmmakers, which includes the directorial debuts of actor Noah Segan (Looper, the upcoming Knives Out) and comedian/actor Baron Vaughn (Grace and Frankie, MST3k). Emily Hagins (Netflix’s Coin Heist, Grow Up Tony Phillips), Anthony Cousins (The Bloody Ballad of Squirt Reynolds), Chris McInroy (Bad Guy #2, Death Metal), Courtney and Hillary Andujar (Production Designers of The Girl On The Third Floor, Bloodline), and Koontz (Camera Obscura, the upcoming The Pale Door) round out the collection of filmmakers.
Scare Package was produced by Austin-based boutique genre production company Paper Street Pictures and developed by Koontz and Burns, who previously collaborated on the horror-thriller Camera Obscura, which Koontz directed and the pair co-wrote. Additional producers include Alex Euting, Shawn Talley, and Ashleigh Snead for Paper Street as well as Kris Phipps.
Take your seats. The show is about to begin. Warner Bros. brings us some new marketing for M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap this morning, including a new poster and an original song.
Saleka Shyamalan stars in the upcoming thriller as fictional pop star Lady Raven, and today brings us a first-listen preview of the song “Release” by Saleka as Lady Raven.
Give it a listen right here and find the new official poster for Trap down below.
M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.
In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”
As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.
Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”
According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.
Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
