‘Saw’ Franchise Actor Angus Macfadyen Plays a Sadistic Caretaker in September’s ‘Alive’ [Trailer]
Looking a bit like a Saw movie in its own right, Saw III actor Angus Macfadyen stars in the upcoming horror film Alive, which has just been acquired by Cranked Up Films.
Here in the States, Cranked Up will release Alive In Theaters and On Demand September 18.
Thomas Cocquerel (“The 100”) and Camille Stopps (“Reign”) also star.
“In the chilling tale, a severely injured man (Cocquerel) and woman (Stopps) awaken in an abandoned sanitorium with no memory of who they are or what has happened. A sadistic caretaker (Macfadyen) discourages their questions and doles out punishments whenever they refuse to cooperate or try to escape. When they finally make their escape to freedom, they discover the answers to who they are – revealing even greater horror.”
Rob Grant directed Alive, written by Chuck McCue and Jules Vincent.
Check out the trailer below, along with some first-look stills.

In This Tempting Madness, “Mia awakens from a coma grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions, and her perception of reality.”
Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
