‘Hostile Dimensions’ to Unleash Found Footage Multiverse Horror in 2024
After a successful run on the festival circuit, found footage sci-fi horror film Hostile Dimensions is poised to unleash multiverse madness. Screen Daily reports that Dark Sky Films has acquired the feature for North American release in 2024.
Hostile Dimensions is a twist-filled multiverse horror from writer/director Graham Hughes, whose previous film Death of a Vlogger was a FrightFest hit in 2019 and garnered critical acclaim.
Hughes also stars in the film, alongside Annabel Logan.
Hostile Dimensions tells of “two documentary filmmakers who decide to investigate the disappearance of a graffiti artist who seemingly ‘vanished’. As they delve deeper into their research, they encounter an ominous freestanding door which leads them on a dark journey through the dimensions behind it. Determined to uncover the truth the pair soon realise they have stumbled across something far more terrifying than they could have ever imagined.”
Anything goes in the multiverse.
”The film came from the creeping nihilism I’ve been feeling as the world seems to fall down on our heads,” Hughes told Screen Daily. ”Sci-fi and horror have always been great genres for exploring cultural questions and trying to make sense of things that seem to defy explanation or logic, and this film was my attempt to address part of the feeling of despair I see creeping more and more into society.”
”Graham has been a filmmaker on the rise and on our radar since we saw his terrific debut [The Big Slick]. Now Hostile Dimension makes good on that promise and then some. It’s one of the smartest, wittiest, most joyously inventive and breathlessly entertaining genre films we’ve seen in a long time,” Giles Edwards of Dark Sky Films said in a statement.
While we wait to see what multiverse horrors await in 2024, you can check out a clip from the film out of FrightFest that teases the madness ahead.
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
