‘Brute 1976’ Trailer – Indie Horror Film Pays Homage to ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ and ‘The Hills Have Eyes’ [Exclusive]
The trailer which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of youths. For them, an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare in Brute 1976.
Drawing inspiration for ’70s horror classics The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, the indie film will be released digitally on August 26 via Cinephobia Releasing.
Set in August 1976, Raquel and her girlfriend have car trouble and break down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. At the same time, a group of people are in the desert for a photoshoot. Soon, they stumble upon an abandoned town where a family of masked psychopaths reside.
Marcel Walz (Blood Feast, Blind) directs from a script by frequent collaborator Joe Knetter (Blind, Twilight of the Dead). Neon Noir produces.
Adriane McLean, Sarah French (Blind), Gigi Gustin (The Retaliators), Adam Bucci (“Halt and Catch Fire”), Mark Justice, Robert Felsted Jr., Ben Kaplan, Dazelle Yvette, Bishop Ali Stevens, Jed Rowen (Blind), Alex Dundas, and Andreas Robens star.
A sequel titled Brute 1986 is currently in post-production.
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.”
