Brandon Cronenberg Appears In-Person to Screen ‘Infinity Pool’ & ‘Possessor’ Uncut in Theaters This June!
To mark Infinity Pool Uncut releasing on VOD on June 13th, NEON is sending director Brandon Cronenberg to three cities to screen his last two features uncut and uncensored!
Dubbed ‘Brandon Cronenberg Uncut’, the event features double bills of Infinity Pool Uncut and Possessor Uncut at three venues, all with Brandon joining for in-person Q&A between films.
– 6.20 San Francisco – Alamo Drafthouse
– 6.21 Los Angeles – Aero Theatre with Beyond Fest and American Cinematheque
– 6.23 New York – Metrograph
“What makes this special is that this is the first time Infinity Pool is playing free of MPA interference in US theaters – it only played at Sundance. Possessor Uncut played Sundance and Beyond Fest in 2020 before playing drive-ins during covid. It’s the first time these films are playing uncut together.”
Tickets will be going live today. NEON is providing a handful of Los Angeles tix to Bloody Disgusting readers who email info@beyondfest.com. Winners will be chosen at random and contacted.
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.”
