SCREAMBOX’s Meta Horror Trip ‘Delicate Arch’ Shatters Reality in Fiery Opening Scene
What if the audience watching a horror movie served as the monster menacing its characters in real time? The fourth wall won’t protect you from Delicate Arch.
Ahead of the meta mind-minder’s SCREAMBOX premiere on February 11, you can exclusively watch a desperate man burn in the fiery opening scene below.
Four college kids with fracturing relationships take a camping trip in order to escape an ecological disaster. Alone in the desert, they begin to suspect that their reality might not be as it seems, and soon realize they’re being watched.
Writer-director Matthew Warren shatters reality with his feature debut. William Leon, Kelley Mack (“The Walking Dead”), Kevin Bohleber (V/H/S/Beyond), and Rene Leech star.
Filmed on location in Salt Lake City and Moab, Utah, the SCREAMBOX Exclusive film leveraged the natural beauty of Arches National Park to contrast with the untold horrors that await.
“After a five-year journey that provided an education in way more than just filmmaking, I’m filled with nervous excitement to finally debut our film for wider audiences — thanks to the great and gory minds at SCREAMBOX, who recently released Terrifier 3 onto an unsuspecting public,” says Warren. “While it’s weird to think Art the Clown is now technically a coworker, I couldn’t think of a better venue for reaching our audience.”
Delicate Arch joins SCREAMBOX’s extensive library of unique horror content, including Terrifier 2, Street Trash, RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop, Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls, Frogman, Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story, Tales from the Void, and The Outwaters.

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.”
