Barbara Crampton Calls to Cthulhu in New Lovecraftian Horror Movie ‘Sacrifice’ [Trailer]
“We just call him… The Slumbering One.”
Barbara Crampton is no stranger to Lovecraftian horrors, having starred in Re-Animator, From Beyond and Castle Freak, and her next movie takes her back into that particular realm.
Crampton stars in the upcoming horror movie Sacrifice from Epic Pictures, which is headed to VOD on February 9th. It’ll then be released onto Blu-ray on February 23rd.
“After his mother’s death, Isaac and his pregnant wife return to his birthplace on a remote Norwegian island to claim on unexpected inheritance. During their visit, the couple discover dark secrets from Isaac’s past. Their pleasant trip quickly turns into a nightmare when Isaac and his wife encounter a sinister cult that worships a sea-dwelling deity.”
It sounds like this one mixes aspects of Castle Freak with elements from Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos, and there are indeed tentacled horrors glimpsed in the official trailer. Find it below.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
