‘Home Safe’ – Psychological Thriller Starring Mira Sorvino Takes On Killer AI Security
Director Jacob Vaughan (Bad Mil0) will pit an expecting couple against an advanced-AI home security system in psychological thriller Home Safe. Per Deadline, Mira Sorvino (“Shining Vale”) has joined the cast as the voice of sentient security system, Kiera.
The Oscar-winning actress stars alongside Felisha Terrell (The Tomorrow War) and Jason MacDonald (“The Vampire Diaries”).
Home Safe centers on “Anna (Terrell), the editor-in-chief of a news magazine, and her husband Daniel (MacDonald), the founder of an AI-centered home security company, are threatened by a mysterious houseguest as they are expecting their first child. Becoming a threat with her growing sentience is Kiera (Sorvino), an advanced-AI home security system created by Daniel.”
The psychological thriller was written by Juddy Talt and also stars Emily Topper (The Thing About Pam) and Michael Shenefelt (The First Lady).
As for when to expect Home Safe, the film has wrapped production and will be taken to market this Fall. That means that while there isn’t a date yet, expect one to follow soon as soon as it’s been snatched up for distribution.
The film is produced in association with Uncle Easy Productions, with Scott Thigpen, Marie Halliday, and Jessica Fox-Thigpen producing for Crazy Legs Features. Executive producers are Tom Cappello, Ryan Ellison, Don Mandrik, Matt Ornstein, and Frank Schuler.
Stay tuned for additional news on the production as they arrive. In the meantime, you can see Sorvino playing not one but three different characters in Starz’ horror-comedy series “Shining Vale.”
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.”
