Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”), Temuera Morrison (“The Book of Boba Fett”), and Tom Burlinson (Flesh+Blood) are attached to star in the post-apocalyptic horror film Dead Howling.
Deadline reports that Kaleidoscope Film Distribution has acquired world sales rights and will present the film at this week’s Cannes Market. Rialto has already picked up the film for Australia and New Zealand.
Production is set to begin in Australia this July with John V. Soto (The Gateway) directing and Tom Reeve (Dog Soldiers) producing.
A lone werewolf fighting for survival in world overrun by zombies, Carter takes vengeance for his murdered family by spending his days hunting down the living dead for sport. He finds new purpose after saving the lives of two humans seeking a rumored sanctuary for survivors.
Despite Carter now joining them on their journey as a powerful ally, the group faces new and unimaginable danger when they discover that their undead enemy is beginning to evolve.
“We are very excited to be working with the team on Dead Howling,” said Kaleidoscope CEO Spencer Pollard. “It promises to be a fun-filled, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that audiences globally will really enjoy.”
Ryan Kwanten on “True Blood”
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
