Independent filmmaker Patrick Rea (They Wait In The Dark, I Am Lisa, Arbor Demon, Nailbiter) has let Bloody Disgusting know this week that post-production is nearing completion for his next movie, a found footage-style LGBTQ vampire feature titled The Night Is Young.

While you wait for more, check out several first look images below.

The film tells the story of Nora (Sarah McGuire), an influencer, who along with her brother Jake (Jake Jackson) are filming her failed dates for a video blog. Through a turn of events, she ends up on a date with Emilia (Valeri Bates), a female vampire.

Soon they find themselves in the crosshairs of a group of murderous vampire hunters (Kristin Rea, Kurt Hanover and Dan Daly).

Rea tells us, “I think we’ve made a fun and original found-footage feature that we hope pleases fans of the sub-genre. We are planning for a festival premiere possibly in the late summer.”

Filming took place over several months in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas. The film is directed by Patrick Rea, who also co-wrote the film with Sarah McGuire (They Wait In The Dark). Rea, Jake Jackson, Sarah McGuire, Ben Benefield and Curt Coolidge produced.

No CGI Needed: Survival Thriller ‘Savage Hunt’ Uses a Real Grizzly Bear [Image]

Published

The “animals attack” subgenre is getting a new installment with the upcoming Savage Hunt, a survival thriller from director Roel Reiné (Halo) that Deadline has previewed today.

The site’s report – which brings us a first-look image, seen above – notes: “The production has told us they are currently using a real grizzly bear on location as part of the shoot.”

Here’s the synopsis for the upcoming Savage Hunt: “The story follows a vengeful tracker who is brought in to hunt down a large grizzly bear, which has begun attacking humans when a new local resort begins construction, disrupting the natural habitat of the wildlife.”

“We wanted to strive for as much realism as possible, showing how powerful nature can be, and the effects of man encroaching on an animal’s natural environment,” the producers said.

“Filming with a real bear in real locations with real actors is a very complex task. The production involves a lot of stunts as well and that adds to the complexity,” producer Gabriel Georgiev added. “Roel Reine is the key element for this project. His immense talent and unique cinematic taste, along with his extensive experience make this production one of a kind. We have some amazing scenes in the can already, I can’t wait to see the finished movie.”

Film Bridge International will introduce the project to buyers at the Cannes market.
