Nightmarish Trailer for the Guillermo del Toro-Produced ‘Antlers’ Promises a Very Creepy Monster Movie
Based on the short story “The Quiet Boy” by Nick Antosca (“Channel Zero”), director Scott Cooper‘s new horror film Antlers is releasing on April 17, 2020, and with that news comes the full trailer.
Fox Searchlight’s second trailer is wonderfully mysterious, again teasing a creepy monster movie without revealing too much. All we can really gather here is that the film looks to center on a young boy whose father is becoming some sort of monster, and that’s really all we need to know. Here’s hoping the reveal of the monster stays in darkness until the film’s release.
For now, get a small taste of Antosca, Cooper and del Toro’s new nightmare below.
In Antlers, a small-town Oregon teacher (Keri Russell) and her brother (Jesse Plemons), the local sheriff, become entwined with a young student (Jeremy T. Thomas) harboring a dangerous secret with frightening consequences.
Graham Greene, Scott Haze, Rory Cochrane and Amy Madigan also star.
The film is written by Henry Chaisson and Nick Antosca, with revisions by Scott Cooper.
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.”
