‘Monolith’ Trailer – ‘Evil Dead Rise’ Heroine Lily Sullivan Continues Down the Horror Path This February
A little less than one year after Evil Dead Rise arrived in theaters, star Lily Sullivan is back here in early 2024 with the brand new horror movie Monolith from Well Go USA.
Well Go will release Monolith in theaters and on Digital February 16, 2024.
The film had its international premiere at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival in the Midnighters section to rave reviews. Watch the official trailer below, which is loaded with those raves.
Matt Vesely directed Monolith, written by Lucy Campbell.
In the upcoming horror movie, “While trying to salvage her career, a disgraced journalist begins investigating a strange conspiracy theory. But as the trail leads uncomfortably close to home, she is left to grapple with the lies at the heart of her own story.”
“Monolith is a bold, unnerving and claustrophobic film with one actor and shot in one location. The film explores questions of truth, privilege, conspiracy, and the fact that each of us sees what we want to see – and believes what we want to believe. Truth is no longer the great monolith that underpins the world – power is. Truth is power, but only for those with the voice to tell it. Does the truth hold any intrinsic value in a world so easily manipulated?”
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.”
